Author's note

Naum, by Nikola Kovanovic, is a free Cyrillic display serif with a distinctly fin-de-siecle mood. The letters mix tall, severe verticals with sweeping, almost calligraphic curves and tapered flourishes, so the font feels ceremonial, literary, and a little theatrical rather than merely classic.

It fits posters, book covers, cultural branding, exhibition graphics, and title cards where a free font can carry a Slavic or old-world voice without turning rustic. The long strokes and curled details also suit monograms, initials, and short headline settings, because the forms have enough movement to hold attention in just a few letters.
