Slovo specimen from Bolditalic

A monoline variable-width face by Olga Artemyeva drawn from skoropis, the old Cyrillic cursive.

About

Slovo changes personality with width: expanded styles are simple and plain, while narrow ones sprout extra loops and get more ornate. Three stylistic sets move between a familiar, simplified look, a looped and flourished one, and a more authentic historical version. Extended Latin and Cyrillic are included, and version 1.1 adds new ligatures.

Classification

A monolinear face variable in width, based on skoropis, the old Cyrillic cursive hand. Wide styles simplify the letters; narrow ones add loops and flourishes.
