Romanovsky is based on the samples from the catalogue of Osip Lehman foundry in St. Petersburg. Original Latin design that was used for Romanovsky can be found in Feder Grotesk by Jacob Erbar. Current digital font is not a scanned version of Lehman’s samples but a newly drawn typeface that differs from the original font in many details. Romanovsky is a sans serif typeface with narrow proportions and noticeable contrast, and is suitable for headings and display matters. Character set covers languages of Western and Central Europe, as well as Cyrillic based languages. It also contains around 20 ligatures of uppercase letters for the most frequent combinations. Romanovsky was designed by Vasily Biryukov. Bold weight was developed together with Olexiy Volochay. Released by ParaType in 2013.
