ST-Markevich Font

The ST-Markevich typeface is a digital reconstruction of a 1961 work by the renowned Soviet artist and illustrator Boris Anisimovich Markevich (1925–2002). As a prominent figure in the “synthetic” book graphics movement of the late 20th century, Markevich’s style—seen in his illustrations, book covers, half-titles, and tailpieces—is instantly recognizable.

ST-Markevich captures the essence of the 1960s Soviet “Thaw” era. It is deeply infused with the spirit of Markevich’s books, evoking a sense of mid-century nostalgia, adventure, and childhood wonder. Ideal for creative projects, this font is perfect for artistic displays, publications, film titles, and animations. The font includes discretionary ligatures to enhance its artistic flair. It is highly recommended to apply manual kerning for the best visual results.

Support for multiple languages, including: Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Chuvash, Udmurt, English, Croatian, Finnish, and Slovenian.

Markevich Font is free for both personal and commercial use. You can support the designer here.
