Literata is a transitional serif typeface designed by TypeTogether that was commissioned by Google specifically for the Google Play Books application in 2015. Literata replaces Droid Serif as the default reading typeface within the Google Play Books e-reader.
There are two distinct publicly released versions of Literata:[2]
- A proprietary OpenType version with 2 weights (Regular and Bold) and italics which is used exclusively by the Google Play Books application.
- An open-source TrueType print version that has 4 weights (Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold) and italics.
