Author's note

Psaltyr kUcs by N. Vsesvetskii is a free Cyrillic liturgical display font with the tall, ceremonial rhythm of Church Slavonic lettering. The letters rise in narrow vertical strokes, then break into sharp wedges, teardrop cuts, and small crown-like accents that make the whole font feel solemn, ornate, and distinctly devotional.

This free font fits book covers for sacred history, choral programs, exhibition graphics, film title cards, and poster headlines that need an Eastern Christian or medieval Slavic voice. It also works well for initials and short title lines, because the compressed height and repeating pointed details create a strong columnar texture even in just a few letters.
