Petrona’s personality is an answer to how many characteristics can be added to a typeface without undermining its purpose within the text-type genre.
|
||
Petrona playfully maneuvers plenty of personal touches, without losing the essence of a design intended for legibility in digital and print media, from headlines to body text.
|
||
Uppercase glyphs have heavy asymmetric serifs and arms with inverted angles, which combine with lowercase designs that share a big x-height, pronounced ascenders, and soft curves of low stroke contrast.

First published in Google Fonts in November 2011 as a single style Roman design, it was completely redrawn in 2019 and 2020.
|
||
It has evolved, and now offers a comprehensive range of weights, a complete set of corresponding italics, and an extended glyph set that supports over 200 Latin languages.
|
||
A full set of small caps, plus ligatures, alternates, and all kinds of numerals, fractions, punctuations, symbols, and currencies are included.
|
||
As a variable font, it has a Weight axis in both the roman and italic files.
|
||
The previous swashy Q is still available, found in Stylistic Set 1.
|
||
It is now a typeface that supplies everything needed for fine text typography.
