Author's note

Pravoslav by Nikola Kovanovic is a free Cyrillic display font with a clear Orthodox manuscript flavor. The letters mix tall, dark strokes with teardrop counters, hooked tops, and pointed, icon-like curves, giving the font a solemn, liturgical mood rather than a modern display gloss.

It feels at home on book covers, cultural posters, church event materials, historical exhibition graphics, and title cards where that Eastern Christian character needs to carry the message fast. As a free font, it also suits short headlines, initials, and monogram-style marks, because the repeated droplet shapes and narrow vertical rhythm give even a few letters a strong ceremonial presence.
