PP Museum is a masterfully crafted humanist sans-serif typeface, embodying the perfect blend of elegance and versatility. This remarkable typeface draws inspiration from the meticulous sketches of Optima found on aged banknotes, reinterpreted with a modern sensibility that enhances both readability and sophistication.
While technically a sans-serif, Museum’s subtle terminal flares echo a glyphic quality rarely seen in contemporary type design, imbuing it with a distinct personality. Its conceptual foundation is further enriched by extensive research into the typography of vintage tomes, book covers, spines and museum-centric objects — an homage embedded in its very name.
The light flares, prominent in the thinner weights, gracefully recede in the heavier styles, ensuring a harmonious balance across applications from refined body text to commanding headlines. This adaptability makes PP Museum an indispensable tool for designers seeking to bridge classic craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.
The tapered diagonals inject dynamic movement, lending a modern edge to the family’s timeless character. Spanning 9 meticulously engineered weights, each with true italics that feature swashes and decorative terminals—an uncommon feature in sans-serif typefaces—Museum invites exploration and elevates design across every medium.

Many museums have exhibitions of these objects on public display, and some have private collections that are used by researchers and specialists. Museums host a much wider range of objects than a library, and usually focus on a specific theme, such as the arts, science, natural history or local history. Public museums that host exhibitions and interactive demonstrations are often tourist attractions, and many attract large numbers of visitors from outside their host country, with the most visited museums in the world attracting millions of visitors annually. Since the establishment of the earliest known museum in ancient times, museums have been associated with academia and the preservation of rare items. Museums originated as private collections of interesting items, and not until much later did the emphasis on educating the public take root. The English word museum comes from Latin, and is pluralized as museums (or rarely, musea). It is originally from the Ancient Greek Μουσεῖον (mouseion), which denotes a place or temple dedicated to the muses (the patron divinities in Greek mythology of the arts), and hence was a building set apart for study and the arts, especially the Musaeum (institute) for philosophy and research at Alexandria, built under Ptolemy I Soter about 280 BC. The purpose of modern museums is to collect, preserve, interpret, and display objects of artistic, cultural, or scientific significance for the study and education of the public. To city leaders, an active museum community can be seen as a gauge of the cultural or economic health of a city, and a way to increase the sophistication of its inhabitants. To museum professionals, a museum might be seen as a way to educate the public about the museum's mission, such as civil rights or environmentalism. Museums are, above all, storehouses of knowledge. In 1829, James Smithson's bequest funding the Smithsonian Institution stated that he wanted to establish an institution "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge". Major professional organizations from around the world offer some definitions as to what constitutes a museum, and their purpose. Common themes in all the definitions are public good and the care, preservation, and interpretation of collections. The International Council of Museums' current definition of a museum (adopted in 2022): "A museum is a not-for-profit, permanent institution in the service of society that researches, collects, conserves, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage. Open to the public, accessible and inclusive, museums foster diversity and sustainability. They operate and communicate ethically, professionally and with the participation of communities, offering varied experiences for education, enjoyment, reflection and knowledge sharing."
A museum is an institution dedicated to displaying or preserving culturally or scientifically significant objects.
