Playfair Display now available in Monotype’s SkyFonts service
Кириллица
Playfair Display have been updated. It now covers the cyrillic glyphs used in Bulgarian, Belarusian, Russian, Bosnian/Serbian (including Serbian morphology for б), and Ukrainian.
Additionally, Playfair Display now comes in three weights and two styles, including small-caps for all weights and styles – also for the cyrillic.
Go to Google Webfonts to use Playfair Display as a webfont, or to download the fonts to your computer. Special fonts containing small-cap glyphs in the place of the lowercase glyphs have also been put on Google Webfonts. Use these fonts for true small-caps in browsers without OpenType capabilities. You do not need to download these fonts as the small-caps are already in Playfair Display proper.
As you may know, Playfair Display is published under the Open Font License 1.1, granting you license to use the fonts free of charge, and enables you to extend & modify the family should you wish to. The complete source-files are available here.
I hope users of the cyrillic script will find good use for Playfair Display, and I wish you much enjoyment with it.
Playfair available through Adobe Edge Web Fonts
Adobe’s recent acquisition Typekit has partnered up with Google Web Fonts to offer a selection of the Google Web Fonts available through Adobe Edge Web Fonts, a new free web font service.
Playfair Display is included in this selection, and I hope it will find even more use among the many web designers and coders.

Playfair Display Regular now published
I’m pleased to announce that the first font of the Playfair family is now published on the Google Web Fonts service. The font is the regular weight of the display family, and the italic font is soon to follow. You are free to download and use the font on your computer. Using the font as a webfont is very easy – just grab the code from here and start using Playfair on your web pages.
