PT Serif

PT Serif completes the ParaType Public Types trilogy alongside PT Sans and PT Mono, commissioned for official Russian government use and designed to cover the full range of Cyrillic scripts used across Russia and the former Soviet republics. The design takes its structural cues from classical transitional serifs while adapting proportions for screen legibility, making it trustworthy for both print and digital publishing in Latin and Cyrillic contexts. Its institutional pedigree lends authority to legal, editorial, and academic typesetting.

PT Serif is a transitional serif designed alongside PT Sans for the Russian public typography project, with meticulous Cyrillic letterform design. Its moderate contrast, sturdy serifs, and compact proportions ensure readability in both printed documents and screen text. The design balances classical elegance with utilitarian clarity.

The standard choice for Russian-English bilingual publications and institutional documents. Pair with PT Sans for a cohesive two-family system with excellent cross-script consistency.
