PT Sans Caption Font Family

PT Sans Caption Font Family is a specialized companion typeface within the PT Sans superfamily, developed by ParaType under the direction of Alexandra Korolkova with the support of the Russian Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications. Specifically optimized for small text sizes and caption settings, this variant features slightly wider proportions and increased stroke weight compared to standard PT Sans, ensuring superior legibility when used at compact point sizes in footnotes, captions, annotations, and interface labels. The family was commissioned as part of a national project to provide high-quality public fonts for the Russian Federation, supporting comprehensive Cyrillic coverage alongside Latin scripts. PT Sans Caption Font Family includes Regular and Bold weights, both carefully hinted for crisp screen rendering. Available through Google Fonts under a libre license, this typeface excels in academic publications, data-rich dashboards, mobile interfaces, infographics, and editorial footnotes where maximum readability at small sizes is the paramount design requirement.
