Cyrillic version of Good Vibrations font

In 2003, designer Rob Leuschke released Good Vibrations, a very warm script typeface whose spirit harks back to the 1950s–1980s, perhaps recalling 1980s Miami or mid-century advertising posters.

Google later picked a lighter version of the typeface for its free Google Web Fonts collection and named that edition Great Vibes.

Google’s version is completely free, but like the professional version, it has no Cyrillic letters. So I am happy to present a Cyrillic version of this wonderful typeface, also completely free for personal and commercial use.

The typeface works well for posters, billboards, headlines and print materials in a retro style.

The font contains a huge number of ligatures, predefined letter combinations that simulate continuous handwriting.

To enable ligatures in Photoshop, open the Character panel from the Window menu, turn on ligatures and select Russian as the language.

Use cases

Since its release, the typeface has become hugely popular in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Good Vibes appears on signs, restaurant menus, food packaging, postcards and book covers.

The typeface turned out to be incredibly versatile and suits almost any task. I suspected Russia was short of good script typefaces, but I had no idea just how short.
