## About Prata

Prata is a Didone typeface: a serif design with vertical stress and an abrupt change from thick stems to hairline strokes. Teardrop terminals finish letters such as a, c, f, r and y, and small triangular serifs sit on the thin strokes, giving them a firm end. The curves are soft and full, which sets up a tension with the sharp details. Because the hairlines are so thin, the official notes place the design at display sizes. Ivan Petrov drew Prata for Cyreal. It exists in one Regular style with no italic or bold, and holds 555 glyphs in the latin, cyrillic, cyrillic-ext and vietnamese subsets; there is no latin-ext subset, so several Central European languages are not complete. The font was added to Google Fonts in 2011 and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Magazine headlines and mastheads**: Thick stems against hairlines produce the strong contrast that carries a title at large sizes.
- **Jewellery, perfume and fashion branding**: Teardrop terminals and fine triangular serifs give a short brand name a polished finish.
- **Titles in Russian and Ukrainian**: Cyrillic and extended Cyrillic are included, so a Didone headline is possible in those languages.
- **Restaurant menus and invitations**: Section titles in Prata stand over details set in a plainer text face.

## Things to know

- **Regular only**: Prata has one style. There is no bold, no italic and no variable axis.
- **Thin strokes at small sizes**: The hairlines are drawn for display use. In small text or reversed out of a dark background they can become too faint.
- **Turkish and Polish are not in the checked list**: Without a latin-ext subset, the verified languages are limited to English, French (apart from the rare capital Ÿ), German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, the Nordic languages, Catalan, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian.
