Designed at Polygraphmash type design bureau in 1986. Based on “English” bold styles of the Ossip Lehmann type foundry (St.-Petersburg), of mid-19th century. The digital version was developed at ParaType in 1992 by Vladimir Yefimov.
For use in advertising and display typography.
The Pacific Standard Bold was originally designed as a - capital only - poster typeface for a poster for the 30th International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2001 in the Netherlands. Theme of the festival was ‘ports’.
The design is inspired by the unpretentious typography often seen in ports.
