Literata is a serif typeface commissioned by Google and designed by the independent type foundry TypeTogether.

[2][3] It was intended to establish a unique visual identity for the Play Books app, suitable across a wide variety of screen sizes, resolutions, and rendering software.

Literata initially included two different weights (regular and bold) and corresponding upright italicised variations (no real italic).

Version 2.1 named Literata Book added two different weights (Medium and SemiBold) and small caps, and made cap-height numerals the default.

Compared to Play Books' former default font Droid Serif, Literata has a lower x-height and higher ascenders.
