FCZL font is a modular geometric typeface inspired by the aesthetics of football fan culture and graffiti.
This is a remake of the FCZL font I created back in 2012. It was my very first font, and I dedicated it to the football club Zorya — more specifically, to the fan community of FC Zorya Lugansk (UA). I was an active part of that scene: we painted graffiti and traveled all over Ukraine to support the team. Those were good times.
Now, in 2025, it has been more than ten years since the war began in my country, and my city, Lugansk, is occupied by Russia. The football club no longer plays there, and my ultras friends and I had to leave. Some of them have died as combatants. I want to dedicate this font to those guys.
I’ve redesigned many of the letters, making them more readable and consistent. The font is no longer monospaced, which allowed for a more appealing Cyrillic set. Still, the font is far from perfect, and I welcome any feedback and critique from the FontStruct community.
It’s amazing that this site still exist, big respect!

The font is now much more legible, it's a huge improvement. Keep working with us!
Cheers! I remember seeing the original font a while back, it’s heartwarming that you revisited it. Excellent job!
Hoping for a peaceful sky once again, with reparations paid to Ukraine and Russia being justly punished. Слава Україні!
@Cookielord Thank you, it's nice to read this. I'm more pessimistic about the future.
I suddenly came to this site after a long time and saw that my modular font experiments still look interesting and fresh. I've seen you work with Cyrillic set. If you have any thoughts on how to improve some my letters from this font, be sure to share. I really need it, Cyrillic is a pain.
