Forum

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Forum is an open-source serif typeface designed by Denis Masharov, a respected figure in the Russian typographic community. The font features classical Roman proportions with graceful, well-balanced letterforms that echo the elegance of ancient inscriptional lettering. It was added to the Google Fonts library in 2011 under the SIL Open Font License.
The design combines traditional serif structure with contemporary refinement, featuring moderate stroke contrast, refined bracketed serifs, and harmonious spacing. Forum supports an extensive character set covering Central European, Eastern European, Baltic, and Cyrillic scripts, making it highly functional for multilingual typesetting across diverse regions and languages.
Forum works as both body text and display typography, adapting well to editorial layouts, academic publications, cultural institution branding, and formal invitations. Its classical proportions and broad language coverage make it a reliable choice for book design, website headings, and any project requiring an authoritative serif with timeless character.
