Libera Pro
PF Libera was designed at a time of leisure with no particular intention for commercial use. In fact it was offered in the beginning as a freeware. In 2001, I convinced designer Charis Tsevis that it may have some commercial value, so Parachute® obtained the rights to sell this typeface. At that time, I did not even imagine what would follow.

“PF Libera was designed at a time of leisure with no particular intention for commercial use. In fact it was offered in the beginning as a freeware. In 2001, I convinced designer Charis Tsevis that it may have some commercial value, so Parachute® obtained the rights to sell this typeface. At that time, I did not even imagine what would follow. Since then, PF Libera is one of our most successful typefaces. I have seen it being used in very diverse applications. From publishing to advertising, to banking, to transportation, to retail applications. Food, beverages, fashion, automobiles, tourism, the list goes on and on. In any way, this typeface is very personal, modern and provocative. It stays with you and definitely it brings along the message. “PF Libera comes in 3 styles. One of them, Liberissima, was added later and is more loose than the other two. The new “Pro” version is powered with 7 opentype features and is carefully designed to include all languages that are based on Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.” –Panos Vassilíou
Fractions : Figures separated by slash, are replaced with diagonal fractions.
Ligatures: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, creating a professional-looking text with no peculiar collisions among letters. This feature covers the standard f-ligatures, as well as few other ones used in normal conditions.
Discretional ligatures: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph. It differs from the previous feature in the fact that it activates special (non-standard) ligatures for Latin and Greek.
Oldstyle figures : Changes selected figures from the default lining to oldstyle i.e. numbers of
varying height. These are appropriate for use with lowercase text. They come in two different styles:
tabular and proportional. Tabular figures have equal widths (useful for tables, so that numbers line
up from one line to the next) whereas proportional have varying widths and are basically used within a sentence.
Lining figures : This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form. Lining figures are numbers which fit better with all-capital text and they are of the same height as capitals or a bit smaller. They also come in two different styles: tabular and proportional.
Proportional figures : Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle).
Tabular figures : Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle).
Superiors : Replaces lining and oldstyle figures with superior figures and lowercase letters with
superior letters. These superior glyphs are not computer generated scaled-down versions but are rather
redesigned to match the weight of the regular glyphs. Superior figures are used mainly for footnotes
and superior letters for abbreviated titles (this feature includes Latin as well as Greek superior
lowercase and capital letters).
Scientific inferiors : Replaces lining and oldstyle figures with inferior figures. They have been
designed to match the weight of the regular glyphs and sit lower than the standard baseline. Used
primarily for mathematical and chemical notations.
