About Freeride

Ivan Gladkikh

Handwriting

Open Source

Freeride font is a handwriting typeface with casual letterforms and comprehensive Cyrillic support. Each character displays active shapes with extreme sports character while enabling Eastern European typography. This casual Cyrillic style suits action sports content, international extreme branding, and designs requiring sporty typography across Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The freeride reference emphasizes extreme sports. Designers creating sports content will find Freeride appropriately active. Complements action sports palettes.

Freeride was crafted by Ivan Gladkikh. The typeface reflects a focus on typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Freeride features disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for packaging for artisanal and handmade products.

Freeride is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency across digital and print workflows, with 3 font pairings curated. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
