    About Petermann Font Family

    Petermann: a friendly modelled modern sans serif with open oval shapes.

    Petermann includes weights from hairline to extra black, widths from condensed to expanded, and true italics.

    The font family of "Petermann" is a modern sans serif with certain characteristics.

    The shapes, the basic structure of the letters, are designed very functionally.

    The stroke weight varies very little, there is almost no contrast between hairlines and main strokes.
    The round letters emphasize the open oval, their round counters give rhythm to the typeface and make it appear soft and pleasing. The one-storey round design of the two small letters a and g being especially contributive here.

    An identifying feature of Petermann is the set back foot of the lowercase c and e. Another characteristic is the slanted strokes, the end of which is rounded towards the inside of the letter. Dots are round in Petermann. This also gives the font a certain sense of softness.

    In contrast to classic sans serifs, some letters in Petermann have slight echoes of serifs, which enhance the reading flow. The most striking are the “feet” of the lowercase letters a d l u. They almost look like particularly short and very bold serifs. But the upper strokes of m n r are also noticeably slightly convex.

    A font for all occasions

    Petermann offers numerous OpenType features and style sets. For example, small caps, fractions, circled numerals and the historic long s are included.

    There are alternative designs for some letters to give the typeface a completely different overall impression.

    Conventional two-story variants of lowercase a and g are available (Style Set 04). You can choose the letters d j l u without “feet” or with a straight stroke (Style Set 01), the lowercase f and the german double s with a descender (Style Set 03).

    Variants of some capital letters can also be selected: the M with straight sides, the I with a serif-like upper stroke, the two-story capital W.

    Some letters are also available in a more open, lighter design: A B D G P R and, correspondingly, the lowercase e.

    Several ligatures also enrich the possibilities of Petermann.

    Language support includes all European languages with the Latin writing system, Cyrillic and Greek, as well as Vietnamese.

    About Ingo

    Founded in 1994, ingoFonts provides the fonts designed and crafted by me, Ingo Zimmermann. I am a type design professional located in Augsburg, Germany, and working in corporate and editorial design. My very first fonts were stencils which I cut out of paperboard and used in graffiti. During my studies I began to publish my fonts under the label ingoFonts, and of all it started with a blackletter: ”Faber Fraktur.“ By now my designs include fonts of all styles, from classical to modern, script fonts, revivals of historic typefaces, Romans, sans serifs, decorative fonts, including fonts like ”Biró Script“, ”Absolut“ or ”Maier's Nr.8“, which seem to be growing quite popular since they've been published.
