PT Serif from ParaType Ltd. is a free serif font with a formal, literary bearing and sturdy proportions. Broad capitals, bracketed serifs, and pronounced changes in stroke width give the lettering authority, with an open, economical lowercase.
Publishing houses, cultural institutions, and heritage-minded brands could use it for editorial design, exhibition graphics, and packaging. Its measured structure suits book jackets and museum programs, where the type can suggest tradition without looking ornamental. On a package or institutional mark, the broad capitals can function as the main emblem rather than supporting copy.
PT Serif is a universal type family designed for use together with PT Sans released earlier. PT Serif coordinates with PT Sans on metrics, proportions, weights and design. It consists of six styles: regular and bold weights with corresponding italics form a standard computer font family; two caption styles (regular and italic) are for texts of small point sizes. The letterforms are distinguished by large x-height, modest stroke contrast, robust wedge-like serifs, and triangular terminals. Due to these features the face can be qualified as matched to modern trends of type design and of enhanced legibility. Mentioned characteristics beside conventional use in business applications and printed stuff make the fonts quite useable for advertising and display typography. Each font next to standard Latin and Cyrillic character sets contains alphabet glyphs of title languages of the national republics of Russian Federation and support the most of the languages of neighboring countries. The fonts were developed and released by ParaType in 2010 with financial support from Federal Agency of Print and Mass Communications of Russian Federation. Design -- Alexandra Korolkova with assistance of Olga Umpeleva and supervision of Vladimir Yefimov.
