Description

Podkova is the Russian word for Horseshoe, and this is a monoline slab serif with diagonal terminals. The wide proportions and clean features aid legibility at small sizes, while the unusual letterforms provide enough character to be useful for display typography too. Initially designed by Ilya Yudin in 2010, it was carefully refined and expanded by Alexei Vanyashin into a wider range of weights (that made the bold style a little lighter) in January 2017. In September 2019, the family is now a variable font. To contribute, see github.com/cyrealtype/Podkova .

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
