PT Sans Pro is a comprehensive type family intended for a wide range of applications. It consists of 32 styles: 6 weights (from light to black) with corresponding italics of normal proportions; 6 narrow styles; 6 condensed styles; 6 extra condensed styles and 2 caption styles (regular and bold). The design combines traditional conservative appearance with modern trends of humanistic sans serif and provides enhanced legibility especially in caption styles. Alongside the conventional use in business applications and printed stuff, these features made the fonts quite useable for direction and guide signs, schemes, screens of information kiosks and other objects of urban visual communications. The fonts have got extended Latin and Cyrillic character sets serving alphabets of the title languages of all the national republics of the Russian Federation and supporting most of the languages of the neighboring countries. Each font contains about 1400 characters including small caps for all alphabetic characters, 4 sets of figures with lining and old style variations, stressed Cyrillic vowels, indices, fractions and so on. The font was designed by Alexandra Korolkova with the assistance of Olga Umpeleva and under the supervision of Vladimir Yefimov and released by ParaType in 2010.
