Author's note

Dilyana, a free Cyrillic serif by R.M. Cleminson, carries a quiet old-style flavor with soft contrast and a graceful, calligraphic sweep. The visible lettering leans on tapered strokes, compact serifs, and a curling lower tail that gives the font a literary, slightly formal mood without feeling stiff.

That makes this free font a natural pick for book covers, cultural posters, museum leaflets, editorial headings, and short title cards where a touch of heritage helps set the tone. It also suits monograms and drop caps, because the curved descenders and gently sculpted serifs give even a single letter a composed, ornamental presence.
