Slovo specimen from ParaType

A variable-width calligraphic typeface inspired by skoropis, the historical Cyrillic cursive script, offering three stylistic sets ranging from simplified to ornate with loops and swashes.

About

Slovo draws on skoropis, a flowing historical Cyrillic handwriting tradition, translating its character into a monolinear variable font. The width axis shifts the design from simplified broad forms to narrower, more elaborate letterforms with added loops and decorative elements. Three stylistic sets give users control over the level of ornamentation, from stripped-back to authentically historical, with extended Latin and Cyrillic coverage throughout.

Classification

Monolinear calligraphic typeface inspired by skoropis, a historical cursive Cyrillic script. The variable width axis and ornamental loops place it firmly in the script/calligraphic category.
