PP Writer is an elegant and dynamic serif drawing inspiration from French Renaissance type. It includes three cuts, text and display styles and a playful italic, and nine weights per cut. Each font includes 744 glyphs with a range of alternates, ornaments and much more. It is intended to provide the user with a legible, traditional text typeface for print and editorial usage. Writer Text is the workhorse of this typeface, its purpose is for text ranging between 6 and 14pt. PP Writer's proportions, contrast, modulation and stress embodies Renaissance type of 16th Century. Although it is inspired by the past, it does not always stick to tradition. PP Writer has plenty of character and personality, pushing the Renaissance style into the 21st Century. It is a variation of the text style with different levels of contrast and sharper strokes. This style embellishes the characteristics of the text style, accentuating and exaggerating each stroke and serif. The Italic is a lively and characterful companion to the upright. It can blend into a piece of text, harmonizing seamlessly with the upright whilst still sufficiently standing out. The Cyrillic follows a similar aesthetic to the Latin, but does not ignore Cyrillic traditions. This is notable in the serifs found on the Tse or Sha, which disregards the Latin motif and prioritise Cyrillic tradition.
It’s a beautiful timeless piece bred from renaissance type drawings. You can feel the ink spill in the heavier weights, especially in the italics. It was dreamt to be a workhorse typeface giving you maximum breath of ability with its text, display and italic cuts.
