Typeface Design for Gosha Sans
Soviet-era edge, variable-font flexibility
Gosha Sans is a geometric sans serif designed by Mat Desjardins, drawing on vintage Eastern European and Russian visual culture. It ships in 8 weights (Thin 100 through Ultrabold 800) as a variable font with 475 glyphs per style. Alternate characters for A, S, and U let designers push the brutalist quality further. Cyrillic support is included alongside broad Latin language coverage.

- Cyrillic is built into every style's 475-glyph set, in keeping with the Eastern European and Russian design inspiration.
