These fonts were created in Metafont by Knuth, for his own publications. At some stage, the letters 'P' and 'S' were added, so that the MetaPost logo could also be expressed. The fonts were originally issued (of course) as Metafont source; they have since been autotraced and reissued in Adobe Type 1 format by Taco Hoekwater.
