## About Libertinus Serif

Libertinus Serif is a serif family built for continuous reading. In the specimen the letters show moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes, bracketed serifs, a fairly small lowercase with long ascenders, and a capital Q whose tail sweeps under the next letter. The texture is that of a traditional book face; nothing in it is drawn for effect. The family has Regular 400, SemiBold 600 and Bold 700, each with an italic, six static styles in total, and it is not a variable font. Its 2,398 glyphs reach well beyond basic Latin: Latin Extended, Vietnamese, Greek with its extended set, Cyrillic with its extended set, and Hebrew are all present. Philipp H. Poll is the credited designer, and the font's name table adds Khaled Hosny. Libertinus Serif is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Books and long-form print**: Moderate contrast and bracketed serifs give an even page, and true italics handle titles and emphasis.
- **Academic papers and theses**: Greek, Cyrillic and Hebrew sit in the same files as Latin, so quotations in those scripts need no second typeface.
- **Multilingual editions**: Latin Extended, Vietnamese and both extended Greek and Cyrillic sets cover parallel texts and scholarly apparatus.
- **Article pages on the web**: Regular for text with SemiBold for subheads keeps a reading page inside one family.
- **Reports with structured headings**: A SemiBold between Regular and Bold allows a third level of emphasis in headings and tables.

## Things to know

- **SemiBold and Bold both have italics**: All three weights are paired with an italic, giving six styles in separate static files.
- **Four scripts**: Besides Latin, the font includes Greek, Cyrillic and Hebrew character sets, plus Vietnamese.
- **Credits differ slightly**: The designer field lists Philipp H. Poll; the name table lists Philipp H. Poll and Khaled Hosny, and names Caleb Maclennan as manufacturer.
