Six styles, one family: from uncial heritage to sans-serif
Slovic is a Cyrillic type family designed by Plamen Motev and Ventsislav Dzhokov at Fontfabric, released in May 2018. The family draws on Old Church Slavonic scripts—specifically Ustav (Cyrillic uncial) and Vyaz (ornate lettering)—as structural and aesthetic sources. Its six named styles progress from a historically inflected form through serif, slab serif, semi-serif, and sans-serif, with a variable font included among them.

Insights
- The design concept treats stylistic evolution—from historicist to geometric—as an explicit axis within a single family rather than separate releases.
- Ustav and Vyaz served as direct historical references, grounding ornate and structural decisions in manuscript tradition.
- Slovic Variable is listed among the six named styles, implying continuous interpolation across the stylistic spectrum within the family.
- Plamen Motev held type direction, design, font production, art direction, and presentation design; Ventsislav Dzhokov contributed to type design.
