Libertinus is a typeface forked in 2012 from the Linux Libertine Open Fonts Project, which aims to create free and open alternatives to proprietary typefaces such as Times New Roman. It is licensed under the SIL Open Font License.[1]

In 2009, the Linux Libertine project released Linux Biolinum: it is a sans serif font designed to pair well with Linux Libertine and Libertinus.[2] It resembles Optima. Its instantiation in the Libertinus family is as Libertinus Sans.
