Poster typography: let us build a Latin + Cyrillic specimen sheet

The manifesto uses heavy condensed capitals, high contrast, plenty of whitespace. Bold and calm at once. I want a specimen sheet where the same sentence is shown in Latin, Cyrillic and a few special letters, set in one family so people see they belong together.

Suggested line: Nema granice za znanje. Нема границе за знање. Ni meje za znanje.

Help wanted: (1) fonts with proper Cyrillic and Latin Extended support, (2) kerning pairs that go wrong with đ, ž, ć, š, (3) someone who knows the old street signage hand-lettering well.

We publish the sheet openly, only with fonts whose licence allows it.

Ћирилица има курзив који се битно разликује од латиничног. Ако ваљда желимо да буде лепо, укључите и српски курзив, са њеним посебним ђ, т, п, г, д.

@cirilica_nikola yes, the Serbian italic forms are a must. Great catch.

For Macedonian add ѓ ќ ѕ љ њ џ and check that б in italic has the right form in the typeface.

Old signage on stone houses had incredibly wide letters carved with chisels. I will photograph some and add a reference page. Photographs, not scans, so you can see the shadow.

Happy to design the sheet layout. Two columns, equal weight, same baseline.

Perfect, we have a team. I will open a shared folder and post the first draft here.
