About
Drawing on Kudryashevskaya Encyclopedicheskaya, produced by Polygraphmash between 1960 and 1974, Petersburg inherits neutral, space-saving letterforms well suited to dense text composition. Its book weight is deliberately light, making it practical for long-form reading in print and on screen. The four-style family covers Book, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.
Classification
Based on Kudryashevskaya Encyclopedicheskaya, a mid-century Soviet encyclopaedia typeface, Petersburg falls into the old-style serif tradition with neutral letterforms and a lightweight, space-economical construction suited to extended text setting.
