Grazhdanskiy Shrift is an attempt to revive the font, which altered the structure of the Russian alphabet by the reform of Peter the Great. For further information read the book Шицгал А. Г. Русский гражданский шрифт. 1708–1958. M., „Искусство“, 1959, the articles of Vladimir Yefimov "Civil Type and Kis Cyrillic" and "ДРАМАТИЧЕСКАЯ ИСТОРИЯ КИРИЛЛИЦЫ. ВЕЛИКИЙ ПЕТРОВСКИЙ ПЕРЕЛОМ". See also the article of Юрий Герчук "Кириллица в русской культуре".
NOTE: The font Vollkorn is used for the missing in the project glyphs.
The project is still in a draft. Any contributions are well-come and highly appreciated.
