About Russo One

Russo One is a display sans serif in one heavy style. In the specimen the curves are squared off: O, D and the bowls of a, b and e are rounded rectangles, strokes are thick and even, the letters are wide, and stroke ends are cut flat. The designer's note says the name means Russian and that the face was meant to show a varied, modern side of Russian culture, and it names headlines and logotypes as the purpose. There is no italic, and Russo One is not a variable font. Its 413 glyphs are organised in Latin, Latin Extended and Cyrillic subsets; the official notes mention Cyrillic, Baltic, Turkish and Central European coverage. Jovanny Lemonad is the designer, and Russo One is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Russo One works

Logotypes

Logos are one of the two uses the designer names, and the squared bowls give a short name a compact, engineered shape.

Game and esports headers

Wide, heavy letters with rounded-rectangle curves match interface art in games and streams.

Russian-language headlines

Cyrillic is part of the font, so Latin and Cyrillic titles share one style.

Automotive and tech promos

Flat stroke ends and thick strokes keep a product name solid over an image.
