PGF Glyphos Font

PGF Glyphos Is a flared serif Roman typeface from the branch of Glyphic families, that balances a clean, bold aesthetic, assertive character with architectural precision. Evolved from the 2011 release project “Legan”, it now spans five distinct typographic weights plus an Italic variant, each offering sharp contrast for enhanced versatility in applications like book covers, film and video game titles, user interface design, branding, pro- duct design, and more.

Staying true to classical Trajan-inspired proportions for its capitals, the typeface draws on historical geometric principles such as root five ratio, divine proportion (golden ratio), and square modular systems. All derived from the inscriptions of Rome’s Trajan’s Column. The lowercase characters, initially designed under the similar Trajan rules, have been refined in this update to prioritize readability while maintaining stylistic cohesion.

Design versatility drives this iteration, featuring extensive OpenType functionality including standard and discretionary ligatures (lineal, overlapped, and nested variants), alternate glyphs, and contextual alternates, multiple ways to display numbers (traditional lining, oldstyle, fractions, superiors and inferiors). The result is a compact yet expressive font family that balances playfulness, modernity, and timeless elegance.
