Bogdan (4 fonts)

An original script font designed by Victor Kharyk and licensed by ParaType in 2006. Based on Ukrainian Skoropis (fast handwriting) of the 16-17th centuries. The font was named after Ukrainian Getman Bogdan Khmelnitsky, because the main sources and inspirations for the project were taken from collection of handwriting Universals (decrees) of that time -- the middle of the 17th century. The shape of letters imitates flat nib quill handwriting with stress, bringing them informal liveliness. Bogdan font character set contains Cyrillic, Old Slavonic , Glagolitic, Latin and Greek alphabets in two variants: Rejestrowy (Regular) and Siczowy (Alternate). The font is designed for display typography, but can work quite well for short text setting. Bogdan type is well suited for historical and cultural texts associated with Europe in the 15-17th centuries.
