About
Developed at the Polygraphmash type design bureau in 1954, the typeface was conceived for newspaper use and carries the static stroke contrast common to Soviet mid-century slab serifs. Two styles are available: Book and Narrow Book, the latter offering a condensed alternative suited to tight column settings. The design reflects the functional priorities of high-volume print production.
