Putnik Font
Putnik is rough condensed cyrillic display font. It is primarily inspired by runic script, early cyrillic script and wooden pagan inscriptions. This font is non-professional, though.
Putnik was made especially for short-movie by Ilya Osenev with the same name.
Font is made with Inkscape and FontForge.
Glyph set
Currently there’s not too much glyphs. There is cyrillic (all caps), digits and incomplete set of punctuation.
Compilation

or
