poltawski – Antykwa Półtawskiego Family of Fonts
The package contains the Antykwa Półtawskiego family of fonts in the
PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats.
The original font was designed in the twenties of the XX century by
the Polish typographer Adam Półtawski(1881-1952).
Following the route set out by the Latin Modern and TeX Gyre projects
(https://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry),
the Antykwa Półtawskiego digitisation project aims at
providing a rich collection of diacritical characters in the
attempt to cover as many Latin-based scripts as possible. To our
knowledge, the repertoire of characters covers all European
languages as well as some other Latin-based alphabets such as
Vietnamese and Navajo; at the request of users, recent extensions
(following the enhancement of the Latin Modern collection) provide
glyphs sufficient for typesetting of romanized transliterations of
Arabic and Sanskrit scripts.
The Antykwa Półtawskiego family consists of 4 weights (light,
normal, medium, bold), each having upright and italic forms and
one of 5 design sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12 and 17pt. Altogether, the
collection comprises 40 font files, containing the same repertoire
of 1126 characters.
The preliminary version of Antykwa Półtawskiego
(antp package)
released in 2000 is rendered obsolete by this package.
