-## Repository Investigation
+## Investigation Details
-- **Checked cache**: `/mnt/shared/upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/` — no cached entry.
+- **Checked cache**: the upstream repo cache — no cached entry.
- **GitHub organization**: The `paratype` GitHub organization exists but contains no font source repositories.
- **GitHub search**: No canonical designer-owned repository was found for PT Sans Caption or the PT font family as a whole.
- **Third-party mirrors**: Only Linux distribution packaging mirrors were found (e.g., `openela-main/paratype-pt-sans-fonts`), which are not canonical.
-## Context
+## Notes

It shares the same design heritage as PT Sans — commissioned by the Federal Agency on Press and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, designed by Alexandra Korolkova under Paratype leadership, released in 2009.
