RomanCyrillic Std: its mission

RomanCyrillic Std enables scholars, especially Slavists and Medievalists in general, linguists, editors, teachers etc. to display and write all the

characters they need - including historical ones, accents, diacritics, phonetics etc. It’s the Swiss Army knife of fonts for the Latin, Greek, Coptic, and Cyrillic script - plus many more transliterated ones (like Glagolitic and Gothic). It is updated regularly in accordance with new releases of the Unicode® standard. The font blends perfectly with

Times® and Times New Roman®, and does many things better much than these!

The font is free for academic use. Commercial licenses are available.

Roman and Cyrillic

“Roman and Cyrillic are structurally identical

alphabets that are easily transliterated into each other. The motivation for substituting one for the

other is primarily ideological rather than practical”
