Serif fonts for books and magazines in Kazakh

Long-form text needs a calm rhythm and well-drawn letters. Six serifs that are comfortable to read page after page, in print and on screen.

A good book face goes unnoticed: the eye doesn’t trip over the letters and the line reads evenly. For Kazakh text, Ә, Ө and Ү shouldn’t break the rhythm, and the tails of Қ, Ғ and Ң shouldn’t crowd the lines around them.

The picks

  • Literata — designed for e-books, handles long text on screen beautifully.
  • Source Serif 4 — a contemporary serif with optical sizes for different point sizes.
  • PT Serif — a reliable classic for documents, newspapers and websites.
  • Lora — a soft serif with a calligraphic touch, great for magazines.
  • Noto Serif — neutral and versatile, with enormous language coverage.
  • Old Standard TT — a serif in the spirit of early 20th-century books, for historical and literary editions.

For print

Before sending files to the printer, print a test page with Kazakh text at actual size. Thin strokes look lighter on paper than on screen — sometimes it’s worth going one weight heavier.
