Author's note

Psaltyr UCS is a free Church Slavonic Cyrillic display font by N. Vsesvetskii, later adapted to UCS by Vladislav V. Dorosh. The letters are tall, narrow, and ceremonial, with a strong vertical rhythm, blade-like cuts, and a distinctly ecclesiastical tone that feels drawn from old Slavic religious printing.

It fits liturgical book covers, православный-inspired cultural posters, museum panels, chapter openings, and title cards where a few words need that historic gravity; as a free font, it also suits monograms or short identity marks for choirs, festivals, and heritage projects. This is not casual lettering - its stretched forms and solemn texture ask for brief, prominent settings.
