About
Commissioned by the Russian Federal Agency for Print and Mass Communications, PT Sans was designed to provide a high-quality free typeface for use across Russian-language publishing and government materials. Its humanist construction lends warmth without sacrificing neutrality, making it equally at home in body text, interfaces, and editorial design. The extensive Cyrillic support and open-source availability make it a practical workhorse for multilingual projects.
