The typeface is named after legibility researcher Richard Lionel Pyke, the author of 'Report on the Legibility of Print', published by the British Medical Research Council in 1926.

PykeText and Micro are both inspired by Giambattista Bodoni’s earlier work having elements of the Transitional typeface tradition.

PykeMicro is developed for small point sizes of 8 or less. Compared to PykeDisplay and PykeText, this version has a larger x-height, smaller contrast and broader letters.
