Latin+Cyrillic font based on Old Church Slavonic service books

Triod Postnaja attempts to mimic the typefaces used to publish Old Church Slavonic service books prior to the 20th century. It also provides a range of Latin letters in the same style, sufficient for the needs of central, northern and western European languages.

Unlike most Old Church Slavonic fonts that provide Latin ranges, this font imitates the uncial style, especially in lowercase letters with ascenders or descenders. Triod Postnaja is something of a stylistic mishmash of various period styles — those seeking a more period-authentic face for setting Church Slavonic should have a look at other fonts such as Hirmos Ponomar.
