As usual, the list is divided into sections, according to our very own preference, sense of beauty, and type design experience:
-
fonts with perfect Cyrillic;
-
fonts with good Cyrillic;
-
super-display, experimental fonts with Cyrillic beyond our judgment criteria;
-
fonts with acceptable Cyrillic;
-
fonts with questionable Cyrillic;
-
fonts with evident mistakes in Cyrillic.
We strongly recommend to think twice before using fonts from the latter two sections. However, we are deeply convinced there are no fonts which are unconditionally bad, and even a worst typeface can work good (and even outdo a perfect one) in a certain situation.
The first three sections are the releases of type.today, tomorrow.type.today, and other fonts with Cyrillic set designed by CSTM Fonts.
