Cy Grotesk specimen from Zakznak

A 27-style display grotesque by Maksym Kobuzan that fuses mid-century European neo-grotesque structure with 19th-century eccentric detailing across three widths and nine weights.

About

Sharp angled spurs and large wedge incisions where bowl meets stem give Cy Grotesk a distinctive rhythm that separates it from neutral neo-grotesque workhorses. Three width variants — Key, Wide and Grand — each span nine weights from Thin to Black, available as individual styles or as a two-axis variable font. Extended Latin and Cyrillic coverage includes Ukrainian, Belorussian, Serbian, Macedonian and Russian scripts.

Classification

A display grotesque that blends mid-20th-century European neo-grotesque clarity with 19th-century grotesque expressiveness. Sharp angled spurs, wedge incisions between bowl and stem, and tight aperture give it an eccentric character beyond standard text grotesques.
