History Raw

Cyrillic is a writing system, named after the missionary work of St. Cyril in the first Bulgarian Empire. The original Cyrillic script was based on uppercase Greek letterforms.

![The phrase “истински майстор на научната фантастика”—which translates in English to “a true master of science fiction”—set in three different typefaces that support the Cyrillic script.](images/thumbnail.svg)

Cyrillic was originally developed in the 10th century for speakers of the Proto-Slavic language. Today, the script is used for various languages across Eurasia and beyond.
