Novadays, the problem “We have no Cyrillic fonts at all” is more or less solved. So another problem comes to the front row: what extra information do we tell our reader by choosing one or another typeface?

How does the classification and history of type influence on the perception of typefaces today? How can we bring some more emotions into Cyrillic without moving far away from traditional letterforms? A working hypothesis and some recent experiments devoted to that.
