Author's note

Pochaevsk ieUcs is a free historic Cyrillic font by Nikita Simmons, adapted to UCS by Vladislav V. Dorosh, with the look of Orthodox book lettering rather than modern type. The letters mix sharp wedge-like strokes with rounded, domed forms and small accent marks, giving the font a liturgical, hand-made gravity that feels rooted in old Slavic printing.

It fits naturally in church book covers, museum graphics, folk history posters, title cards, and short editorial headings where a free font can carry a distinctly Eastern Christian tone. Use it for names, opening lines, monograms, or drop caps when you want that archaic manuscript energy without losing the firmness of printed letterforms.
