Author's note

Evangelje Plain is a free Cyrillic blackletter by International Typeface Corporation, shaped with a medieval manuscript feel that leans more devotional than severe. The letters mix broad, carved wedges with teardrop joins and angular cut-ins, so the font feels like liturgical lettering translated into a compact display style.

It fits book covers, church posters, historical event branding, folk music artwork, and title cards where a free font needs an old Slavic or ecclesiastical mood without turning fussy. Use it for short headlines, initials, or monogram-like wordmarks too, because those hooked curves and pointed inner cuts give even brief settings a distinctly manuscript voice.
