Slovic
Fontfabric · Plamen Motev · 2018
A Cyrillic display family by Plamen Motev that traces a stylistic arc from Old Church Slavonic scripts through to a clean sans-serif, all within one family.
About
Drawing on Ustav (Cyrillic uncial) and Vyaz (ornate lettering), the six-style family moves through historic, serif, slab, semi-serif and sans-serif forms, with a variable font tying the progression together. It covers Extended Latin and Cyrillic, with OpenType features and stylistic sets suited to heritage branding, book covers and cultural event material. The concept of a single family spanning such a wide stylistic range is unusual and gives designers a built-in contrast system rooted in Slavic typographic history.
