Centro Pro ftw

Ninja May 28th, 2008

Congratulations to the Parachute type foundry for winning an European Design Award for the Centro Pro typeface families!

Centro Pro was designed by Panos Vassiliou, and you can view his sketches and design process here.

PF Centro Pro is a type system, not just a type family. This large series of 40 fonts with 1519 characters each, is composed of 3 superfamilies (serif, sans and slab), includes true italics and supports Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. It is an almost ‘invisible’ typeface which has legibility as its main attribute and is ideal for a wide range of design works. It does not attract any unnecessary attention, but rather serves its purpose. A rare case of contemporary type family working across three alphabets, Centro Pro meets an ever-growing demand for such typefaces among pan-European companies and institutions.
