Russian Professional Typography Guidelines
True Cyrillic Italics vs Slanted Oblique
True Cyrillic italics transform glyph shapes completely (e.g. т, д, г). Never rely on fake CSS slant.
Latin-Cyrillic False Friends Proportions
Shared glyph forms must preserve authentic Cyrillic proportions and weight distributions.

Russian / Cyrillic font selection guide
Open fonts with reliable Cyrillic coverage for web and product UI
Gợi ý
- UI body: Noto Sans or Roboto—both ship robust Cyrillic subsets at Regular and Medium
- Long-form: PT Serif for readable Russian articles and documentation
- Bilingual chrome: pair Cyrillic UI with restrained Latin (Inter) only where Latin labels appear
- Prefer open licenses (OFL/Apache) listed on each FontHubs detail page before embedding
Kỹ thuật
- Use unicode-range for Cyrillic blocks; lazy-load italic and extra weights
- Subset Cyrillic consciously—full blocks can be large in WOFF2
- Test mixed Latin/Cyrillic in navigation, forms, and user-generated content
- Include Ё/ё in QA; many stacks forget them until production copy appears
FAQ
Can I use Inter for Russian? ▼
Inter includes Cyrillic in many builds—verify your downloaded file covers the glyphs you need. Noto Sans and Roboto remain safe defaults with explicit Cyrillic support.
Which Russian fonts on FontHubs are good defaults? ▼
Start with Noto Sans or Roboto for UI and PT Serif for editorial. Open each detail page to confirm weights, formats, and license.
Are these Cyrillic fonts free for commercial use? ▼
Most curated options here use OFL or Apache-style open licenses, but terms differ. Always read the license section on the font detail page before commercial shipping.
