A single-weight display serif reviving the eccentric letterforms of Soviet publication typefaces from the 1930s, with flame-shaped details, triangular Л and Д, and peculiar serifs on C, G, S and З.
About
Designed by Maria Kasatkina in 2020 and expanded by Dmitry Goloub in 2022, the typeface draws directly from Soviet periodicals such as Architecture of the USSR and publications of the Politikatorzhan Publishing House. Characteristic features include a looped У, closed lettershapes with elongated serifs and flame-shaped ornamental elements that recall the visual language of 1930s Constructivist design. Despite its historical specificity, the face is intended for contemporary display use, supported by ligatures, currency signs and broad Latin and Cyrillic language coverage.
