ABOUT







Nikita Simmons

Slavonic typographic expert. He created these typefaces:

  • The Slavonic religious dingbat font Prosphora (2005).
  • Fedorovsk AC (1999), Fedorovsk XCS (1999, based on the Russian pre-Nikon church books of the Moscow Pechatny Dvor (printing court), 1st half of the XVII century).
  • Ostromirov XCS (2006, based on the letters of "Ostromirovo Evangelie" (Ostromir's Gospel) of 1056-57) and Ostromirov AC (2006), all gorgeous Old Slavonic typefaces.
Some fonts of Simmons were revived and modified by Constantin Spektorov, and can be found here: Bukvica UCS has caps that were used in the Moscow "Pechatny Dvor" (Printing Yard) in the 1st half of the 17th century. Grebnev UCS (2009, with Constantin Spektorov) is based on the Tushka font by an unknown author. This font was modified by the printing establishment of the Preobrazhensky Bogadelenny Don at beginning of the 20th century, which was founded by Luka Arefyevich Grebnev.
