Constantin Bold Police

Constantin Bold, designed by L. Jake Jacobson of the University of Pittsburgh, is a free Russian-style display font with emphatic serif forms. Broad strokes and wedge-like serifs give the letters a stern, monumental profile.

Historical publishing and theatrical posters benefit from its formal weight and resemblance to Cyrillic lettering, particularly for Soviet-era subjects. The same severe geometry also suits vodka packaging and strategy-game titles, turning familiar Latin text into a deliberate reference to Russian graphic culture.
