Orthodox, from SoftUnion Ltd and N. Andrushchenko, is a free Cyrillic display font with an Orthodox liturgical flavor. The letters pair broad, old-style oval forms with small bead-like dots perched above and below, giving the font a ceremonial, icon-inspired rhythm that feels more devotional than merely decorative.
That makes this free font a natural choice for church bulletins, religious book covers, festival posters, museum graphics, and title cards that need a Slavic sacred tone. It also works well for short headings, initials, and monograms, where those repeated dot accents and weighty curves can carry the whole mood with just a few letters.
