'''Packed Font File Format''' ('''PK''') is a bitmap font format associated with [[Metafont]] and [[TeX]].

== Identifiers ==
The file extension is usually a number (of dots per inch), followed by "pk".

== Identification ==
Files begin with {{magic|f7 59}}. The last byte has decimal code 245 or 246; if 246 then it ends with a code 245 followed by one or more of code 246.
