Description:
The PT Sans family was developed as part of the “Public Types of Russian
Federation” project. This project aims at enabling the peoples of Russia to
read and write their native languages, using free/libre fonts. It is dedicated
to the 300-year anniversary of the Russian civil type invented by Peter the
Great from 1708 to 1710, and was realized with financial support from the
Russian Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications.

The fonts include support for all 54 title¹ languages of the Russian Federation
as well as more common Western, Central European and Cyrillic blocks making
them unique and a very important tool for modern digital communications.

PT Sans is a grotesque font based on Russian type designs of the second part of
the 20th century. However, it also includes very distinctive features of modern
humanistic design, fulfilling present day aesthetic and functional
requirements.

It was designed by Alexandra Korolkova, Olga Umpeleva and Vladimir Yefimov and
released by ParaType.

¹ A “title” language is named after an ethnic group.
