About Gorod.Murom Font Family
The general idea is based on the oldest Russian legends. Many different mythical creatures were inhabiting in the dense forest: wood-goblins, kikimoras, wild boars. Robber Nightingale was giving many troubles to people, he was hindering travelers to going though the forest, he was foraying towns and villages. Dragon Gorynich having three heads was bossing all this ugly show.
But Russian people being strong and self-sacrificing with the help of heros Ilia Muromets, Dobrynia Nikitich and Aliosha Popovich and due to their firmness and bravery overcame all the monsters and other enemies.
The greatest Russian poet Vladimir S. Vysotsky composed a song about the mystic of ancient time "The song about evil spirits":
In the thick and secret forests,
Murom dense and dreadful wood
Various evil spirits teeming
Frighten people as they could.
Like the ghosts they howl and wail.
Robber's every nightingale.
Horrible, fear! ...
Release: in the form of "gorod.Murom" font with the four styles. Normal and Italic styles' symbols appeared as a foliage forest with young (thin) or old (thick) trees, inclined styles present wild coniferous forest.
We have to explain the meaning of word "gorod". It is a "city of" in Russian.
Murom is one of the most ancient Slavonic settlements amidst the wild forest near the river Oka, the biggest tributary of the Volga. This town was founded in VI-VII centuries, in the IX century it already had big population and had great importance for old Russia. Modern Murom is one of industrial towns of Vladimir region and has the population of 145 thousand people. It is the large junction on the Moscow - Kazan - Ekaterinburg trunk-railway.
Murom is the native land of the most famous hero of Russian sagas - glorious athlete Ilia Muromets. As the legends say, Ilia was paralyzed until 30 years old and was lying on the stove, but when the time came to defend the Motherland, Ilia rose to his feet and performed a lot of heroic deeds. Ilia Muromets could fell the old oaks and fear up the young ones by the roots. Springs appeared from the kicks of his horse's hooves, in the sky thunder arose from his riding. Once Ilia overturned a hill in the Oka river, so that it changed its course. Ilia Muromets killed the three-headed dragon and many other monsters, whose bones are found near Murom to present day.
In 1643 Ilia Muromets was officially canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church. The Saint's remains are well-preserved and are in the Kiev-Petchersky Lavra (the monastery of the highest rank), only his feet are absent. A deep round wound can be seen on his left hand as well as the same considerable injury in the left part of the chest. It seems he sheltered his chest with the hand and it was pinned to the heart with the spear stab.
Examination of the Saint Ilia Muromets body, made in 1988, showed: the hero's height is approximately 180 cm, his age is about 40 - 55 years old. There were found some spine defects that indicate the paralysis of the extremities that Ilia had in his youth. The cause of his death is the vast wound in the chest region, the date of it is XI - XII century.

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.
