Slab Serif

Open Source

Kirpich font is a bold playful rounded slab-serif by Dmitriy Sychiov combining western influences with Cyrillic support and retro character. This distinctive typeface delivers substantial presence with friendly rounded details, suited for entertainment branding, casual dining graphics, and editorial design across Russian and Western markets. Kirpich excels in restaurant signage, casual lifestyle branding, and publication design where bold warmth creates approachable personality. The rounded terminals soften the bold weight while western influences add character beyond standard slab-serifs.

As a Slab Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Mechanistic classification, Kirpich features unbracketed or minimally bracketed rectangular serifs and low stroke contrast approaching monolinear weight. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for headlines and display typography requiring punch.
