What is the Journal Sans font?
The typeface was designed at the Polygraphmash type design bureau in 1940-56 (project headed by Anatoly Shchukin) based on Erbar-Grotesk typeface of Ludwig & Mayer company, 1929 by Jakob Erbar, and on Metro typeface of Mergenthaler Linotype, 1929 by William A. Dwiggins. A sans serif of geometric style. For use for text and display typography. In 2014 designer Olexiy Volochay made some corrections in original digital data and extended character set. The family was rereleased in ParaType in 2014.

You're probably thinking - Is Journal Sans available to Download for free?
The short answer is no. Journal Sans is definitely not available as a free download font. This is a premium font which mean that you will have to pay to download and use it in your project.

It is always best to pay for a premium font rather than trying to find an illegal download. The benefits of paying for Journal Sans is that you get the license to use it leagally.
