About Gorod.Volgograd Font Family


The general idea: Can You imagine to yourself, what the hydroelectric power station is? The building of this electricity production foundry is half hidden under the water, but the visible above-water part astonishes your sense. It is a construction almost 1,5 km length dammed out the powerful river stream. Besides thousand of electricity conduction lines supports it bears also the highway and the railroad. From a faraway distance the train seems like a caterpillar that has climbed up the stout tree. There are also the navigable sluices, the flood channels and other erections. The idea of this typeface outlines arrived to the authors exactly on the viewing platform, under the impression of the waterfalls, which are escaping from the dam womb, falling from almost 50 meters altitude and becoming white-haired during this flight. Release: in the form of "gorod.Volgograd" font with the one style. We work with other styles now and sometime we will be very glad to introduce the Bold and Italic styles to You. We should explain the font name meaning. "Gorod" is "city of" in Russian and Volgograd is the old, big and famous Russian city. The Volga hydroelectric power station of a name of XXII congress of the CPSU caused the Volgograd sea formation. It expands of 14 km width and more than 600 km along the Volga river-bed. But HEPS isn't the sole Volgograd sight. There are many interesting places here. The most known tourist sight, the visit card of Volgograd is the Mamaev Hill. Being here You can see almost all 100 kilometers of city length. Due to its geographical position, Mamaev Hill has got a great importance during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). It became and still is the Main Height of Russia. Soviet people have built the huge stately memorial ensemble here. There are many other witnesses of the heroic past of Volgograd: the Alley of Heroes, the Perished Fighters Square, the Soldiers Field and others. The line of tank turrets is stretched out along all town not far from Volga bank. It marks the line, where fascist troops was stopped in 1943. It is very amazingly when You dive under the ground on a usual tram. Volgograders have built a few underground station for the high-speed tramway. The river tram need a quarter of an hour to get an island in the Volga. And You need the same time to walk across the river station. The Volga-Don navigable channel starts from Volgograd. There are planetarium, circus, some theatres, many museums in Volgograd. One of football matches of Euro-2004 qualifying round took a place in the "Rotor" stadium in Volgograd. Volgograd holds the longest - above 50 km - park in the world. Its avenues, squares, embankments are beautiful, Volgograd central districts are built in unique architecture style called the Stalin Empire. You can enjoy fountains, parks, attractions, water-pools and other Volgograd sights. If You visit Volgograd once You'll never forget it. You can read about the ancient history of Volgograd city on the Tsaritsyn font page. Also we plan to create the Stalingrad font and give You a short story about another period in Tsaritsyn-Stalingrad-Volgograd history.

About FontCity

All the fonts we offer contain 220 symbols each: all the Russian and English lower-case and capital letters, 10 figures, number sign (both # and ’), punctuation marks (a full stop, a comma, exclamation and question marks, a dash and others), signs of mathematics (a plus, a minus, signs of multiplication and division, signs of equality and root and so on), symbols of some currencies (currency, sterling, dollar, cent, yen, euro) and other symbols. We adhered to the Windows-1251 symbols encoding table (Cyrillic) but made some alterations. For example, we placed the symbols of multiplication and division to other code cells and put a few additional for Win-1251 signs in the unused cells. The complete encoding table of all of our fonts are available on "fontcity.ru/et.phtml". Our fonts are named after Russian cities and have prefix "gorod" that means "city of" in Russian. It helps You to sort our fonts conveniently in your fonts list. In each describing article we have tried to explain the reason urged us to corresponding name. Unfortunately, selling our products in USA, we can't use the clear and natural variant spelling "city of" as a part of their names to avoid a possible intellectual property rights infringement. We hope You'll enjoy its Russian analogue "gorod". Designing the slanted (Italic) styles we proceeded from the fact that decorative fonts are rarely used for typing the large volumes of texts, and the majority of editors can change any signs from the plain styles into the slanted ones working with the short phrases (an article title, signboard and so on and so forth). That's why the symbols of Italic styles in our fonts have no real slant of the vertical strokes. Instead of it, Italic styles are the variants of Normal and Bold styles which we consider to be more interesting and reflecting more perfectly the general idea contained in each corresponding font. For example, in "Moskva" font the slanted styles symbols have the strokes with the counterstrokes (serifs), in "Samara"-Italic typeface symbols are "dancing": the characters are moved sideways relatively to the baseline and are inclined in a chaotic order. We did our best to do all the featuring of our fonts: hinting, bearing, kerning (up to 5.000 pairs) and others. We tested the efficiency of the fonts in many Windows applications: CorelDraw!®, Aldus PageMaker®, Adobe PhotoShop®, Adobe Illustrator®, Microsoft Word®, Microsoft FrontPage Express® and others. The tests showed bright results. Our fonts are represented both in TrueType and PostScript formats. We can change encoding, substitute some symbols, design your national alphabet letters and do other changes according to your wish. To do this we need the particular description of the required encoding, detailed description of the symbols you need and some samples drawn in various typefaces. We will be able to define the cost and time necessary to carry out the work only on getting your requirements and drawing up a contract or an agreement. The ready fonts' cost depends on the amount of styles and a maximum number of users specified in the applicable receipt. One-user license costs $15 for font about 1 style, $20 for two styles, $30 - for four ones and $50 - for eight styles.
