Author's note

Psaltyr ieUcs, by N. Vsesvetskii and later adapted by Vladislav V. Dorosh, is a free liturgical Cyrillic display font with the tall, ceremonial air of church lettering. The letters rise in narrow vertical shafts, then break into sharp wedges, small crowns, and flame-like curves that make the whole font feel solemn, antique, and distinctly manuscript-bred.

It suits book covers, sacred music programs, exhibition graphics, chapter openings, title cards, and poster headlines where a historic Slavic voice is needed. As a free font, it works best in short settings, because those elongated forms and decorative tops carry the mood fastest when the words are brief.
