Plus, it supports Western and Central European character sets, a full Cyrillic character set, Monotonic and Polytonic Greek, and the International Phonetic Alphabet. That makes it superlative in its usefulness and versatility.

When searching for a Didone typeface, it's often a struggle between blackness/legibility and stylishness/contrast. this is especially true of squarish didones, which number less than their round counterparts. Pygmalion is an excellent balance between the two — clean and striking, good for uses from text to heading, and at home in print and on screen.
