Hi, all.
I'm seeking a nice/good/usable, reasonably condensed handwritten font which includes Cyrillic characters.
Having a good level of readability at smaller sizes would also be a bonus (allowing for longer strings within limited title space — hence condensed).
Examples of what I mean by 'nice/good/usable'…
Nothing too scrawly. No classic/classical scripts.

^^ Suomi Hand Script would be a great choice if it had Cyrillics chars.
Many thanks for any recommendations y'all can share.

hi Bill,
take a look at serbian Intro face
http://tipometar.org/katalog/Intro/IndexEng.html
or Parachute's DaVinci script

or AndrijScript by mine

Thanks, folks.
There were a number of options in the Paratype and Tipomet selections that would fit the bill.
The Da Vinci and AndrijScript were both a bit too historical looking to suit.
I've got client sign-off on Verveine — which suits the 'looseness' of the brand — but might hold off until I've had a proper look through the Paratype and Tipomet selections first.
Thanks, again.
