Description

The Golden Age of the Greek Civilization. The world’s history carved on stone. PF Hellenica was created based on numerous photos from archaeological sites and several other historical references dating back to 1100 B.C. This is a more recent interpretation of the original with subtle serifs at stroke endings.
In order to capture the essence of this writing, there are a few alternate forms used at lowercase, uppercase and/or accented positions. These alternates come from different regions in Greece.For instance, uppercase Theta was used by the Cretans and the Korinthians, whereas uppercase Delta by the Ionians. PF Hellenica comes in three styles: Light, regular and bold. This version has been expanded to include 3 major scripts: Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.
