This font would seem to have been based on a clone of my font Genus. The Latin glyphs are unchanged and the cyrillic glyphs are new. It would be great if an acknowledgement of this font's provenance was made evident on this page.
@George Arnold (bufb): no problem. But when downloading, your name disappears from the license, this is a flaw on Meek’s part, I think he should fix it, I can’t change it.
The provenance should be shown automatically at the top of the page for all fonts which are based on others. I’m not sure why this is not the case here. I’ll look into it.
I believe that if the original font(s) becomes private, then the page stops showing that particular font at the top. Also, Unicode 16 just released around last week…
@Rob Meek (meek): I think this is because the author of the original font made it non-public, I have the same thing with several other fonts. And the original author also disappears in the license txt file.

I'm not sure this really has anything to do with the Fontstruct software or Rob Meek, but rather good manners. Cheers

Thanks @Sychoff. That’s a tricky one. I’ll see what I can do.
A credit in the description is a good option in the meantime.
@BWM :-)
