Description
Letter Zhe (Cyrillic) in Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed, hand rendered. Eighth letter in the Russian alphabet. In old Slavonic alphabet is called “zhiti” which means “live”. A letter made of strongly expansive geometric forms.My favorite letter in Russian alphabet. <3 Found pictures on my old external HD and made this poster.

Zhe rules^^ Same evocative power as the 'F' and 'D'!
What about the expansive thing?

I was talking about overall geometry of letter "zhe" in Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed. Very humanist typeface, looks very symmetrical first time you look at it but it is really not if you study it a bit longer.
Best,

ah, this letter is such a problem when creating a font. It's too expanded, too wide. These letters including Њ,Љ,Ѓ make a huge problem with the kerning too. But, from my experience, everyone who sees a cyrillic alpabet for a first time, they find this letter most attractive.

Very interesting shape, that is why I like it. I have dedicated 1 whole page to this letter in my typography book I am currently working on.
