Poppins Cyrillic
Poppins Cyrillic is a version of the Poppins typeface with Cyrillic support for Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian languages. Poppins itself is a modern geometric rational sans serif. It is nearly as geometric as Futura, but more practical. With the alternative “a,” it somewhat resembles Graphik typeface.
If you do not need a Cyrillic script, this version is still useful, because it has got a decent kerning for both latin and cyrillic.

What to Pair with Poppins Cyrillic Bold: 4 Typeface Pairs
The Bold weight works well for headlines, while the body copy is better set in a second typeface. For body text, it helps to follow the principle “the more boring, the better.” Ideally, such a typeface goes unnoticed while offering solid readability.
- Poppins Cyrillic + Bitter Pro — the most boring option, but also the most legible. A real workhorse. Free.
- Poppins Cyrillic + Source Serif 4 Caption — they pair well in size and underlying structure, but the giant artificial inktraps make it look a bit less boring. Also a workhorse. Free.
- Poppins Cyrillic + William Text — they pair well in size and structure, but the humanist stroke shapes make for an even more interesting combination. This one is my favorite. Unfortunately, you have to pay for William Text.
- Poppins Cyrillic + Alice — also a very good pairing, but Alice’s overall playfulness makes the combination almost too interesting. Maybe not the best readability. Use with care. Free.
