Parachute offers a variety of fonts designed to support Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts, some of which have received recognition for their quality. Notable typefaces like PF Centro Pro, PF Champion Script Pro, and PF Goudy Initials Pro were introduced online in 2007.[1][citation needed]

In 2008, Parachute received a Gold award at the European Design Awards for its PF Centro type families designed by Panos Vassiliou. Subsequently, Parachute has achieved over 25 awards and distinctions, including the prestigious Red Dot: Grand Prix 2012.[2] [3]

In 2010, Parachute introduced PF DIN Text Arabic, the first Arabic version of the DIN typeface, created through a collaboration between Panos Vassiliou and Arab designer Hasan Abu Afash.[4] [5] [6][7][8][9]
