Półtawski Nowy is a digitisation project the Antykwa Półtawskiego
typeface. A key aspect of the design of the digital version of the typeface
from 1928 was the approach to the issue of developing the shape of characters
from sources. Historical research was carried out in parallel with the
preparation of the computer version, which allowed to learn about the unique
story of this most recognizable Polish font design. The Półtawski Nowy type
family is intended for typesetting in sizes from 10 to 18 pt. The project is
implemented thanks to the support of the Digital Culture 2020 program of the
Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

 In the Półtawski Nowy digitisation, the source of the study were scans of a
type specimen book from the Idźkowski i S-ka foundry, a set of drawings,
punch patterns and punches made by Monotype in Salfords, Great Britain in
1934-1955. They were made available by the Type Archive London. Thanks to the
standardization of characters and the balancing of the typographic rhythm, in
the digital version, the typeface retains its ornamental character, while
working well in smaller text sizes. The basic character set available in the
sources has been extended with further variants of diacritics, small caps,
subscript and superscript, variants of numbers (tabular, proportional,
nautical) and a set of OpenType features.
