About
Designed by Gennady Fridman for ParaType in 2003, the typeface recreates the fluid cursive style of Russian chancery handwriting prevalent during the Petrine era. A set of alternate symbols, superiors and punctuation marks typical of the period are included, lending authenticity to historical or period-styled typesetting. Its single Regular weight suits display, poster and editorial contexts that call for a distinctly Russian historical character.
