The Postea font family is Veronika Burian and José Scaglione’s take on German geometric typefaces, reshaped as Postea Cyrillic by Vera Evstafieva, with the right attributes for setting paragraphs and headings, and perfect for branding and text use. The classic curves and purposeful details keep its individuality intact while allowing it to fit an incredible range of multiscript design needs. Because of these qualities, Postea Cyrillic makes normal reading in paragraphs a cinch and your branding memorable.

Compared to midcentury attributes of restraint and a sparse appearance, Postea Cyrillic’s deliberate play between character widths injects liveliness and distinction into its personality. Another nice surprise awaits: spacing for the Hairline weight is tighter for optimal use in large headings and titles, while the regular weights have the slightly looser spacing readers require for text.

Postea Cyrillic is opinionated and has modern stylistic sets with softer, specially-designed alternate characters. Wallpaper-worthy geometric symbols, arrows, and ornaments are packed into SS01 and SS09. For the ultimate in customisation and glamour, the second and third stylistic sets are where geometric and typographic alternates are found.

Postea Cyrillic’s 14 total styles (seven upright with matching italics) or two variable fonts are accompanied by an all-new family of icons in three weights, for which we developed a new, easy activation method. Simply bookend the desired icon name with colons (:arrowUp: :firstAid: :aid: :chargingStation:), making sure to capitalise each word after the first word, then select it and activate SS10. Icons include wayfinding, social interface, and sanitary precautions like face masks, thermometers, hand washing, and with much more.

Postea Cyrillic is resilient in the number of ways the family can be used, and its recognisable characters make it a prime selection for branding, signage, corporate typefaces, and magazines. The entire multiscript family (Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, now including Vietnamese) brings simplicity and impact together nicely, invoking a balance between a constructed and human feel while brushing away the dust from a century of derivatives. Beginning with midcentury virtues, Postea Cyrillic is the rational response for text — a lyrical take on geometric sans serifs.
