Designed by Lyubov Kuznetsova and Alexander Tarbeev, Academy is a grunge, serif and screen serif typeface family. This typeface has 5 designs and was released by ParaType.

Academy was created circa 1910 at the Berthold type foundry (St.-Petersburg). It was based on Sorbonne (H. Berthold, Berlin, 1905), which represented the American Type Founders revamp Cheltenham of 1896 (designers Bertram G. Goodhue, Morris F. Benton) and Russian typefaces of the mid-18th century. It is a low-contrast text typeface with historical flavor.

The modern-day digital version was designed at Polygraphmash type style bureau in 1989 by Lyubov Kuznetsova. Corrections and additions were done later on in ParaType in the early 00's. The revamped version with Vibrant Italic design was launched in 2009 and the extended variation of the Book design with small caps was released in 2013. Corrections and extensions were done by Vladimir Yefimov.
