About
Sharp Serif Text PanEuro is a text-optimised serif drawn from the classical models of the 15th-century Italian masters and French renaissance printers, redrawn for contemporary screen and print. Designed under Lucas Sharp's direction by Connor Davenport, My-Lan Thuong and Léna Le Pommelet, it runs Thin to ExtraBold with matching italics – twelve styles in total. The PanEuro character set adds Cyrillic and Greek alongside an extensive Latin, supporting hundreds of languages across three scripts.
