PT Sans

PT Sans was commissioned by the Russian Federal Agency on Press and Mass Communications as part of the Public Types of the Russian Federation project, making it a typeface with explicit civic purpose. Designed by ParaType, it covers both Latin and an extensive Cyrillic range, serving the linguistic needs of dozens of languages across Russia and Eastern Europe. The design balances humanist warmth with the neutrality expected of a workhorse typeface intended for government and educational publications.

PT Sans is a humanist sans-serif originally commissioned for the public types of the Russian Federation, with extensive Cyrillic support. Its letterforms exhibit slightly condensed proportions, moderate x-height, and open forms that maintain readability across Cyrillic and Latin scripts. The design balances economy of space with comfortable reading rhythm.

The premier choice for bilingual Russian-English projects and government or institutional communication. Works well for body text in publications that require strong Cyrillic rendering, paired with PT Serif for typographic hierarchy.
