The Unstructed series is obsolete with the construction of GS Unicode 2.0, and the addition of all Unicode blocks into the FS inventory. I won't delete this font for those of you who still use the original, pixelated GS Unicode (for compatibility purposes).
Though I'm only fluent in English (and somewhat Spanish), I do know the Cyrillic / Russian alphabet by heart. While studying this script, I recalled a story my mother told me about the CCCP and the Soviets. She talked about having air raid drills in her school years. I'm no communist, but her story seemed fascinating to me. I also thought the initialism was odd, as standard Russian (including Soviet Russian) doesn't have the equivalent to the Latin C.
It turns out that the Ss in Russian look identical to Cs in English and the Rs in Russian look identical to the Ps in English. This makes the initialism SSSR (es es es ar) and not CCCP (si si si pi).

After choosing the adjective 'systematic' to create a typeface, I designed this based on the typography seen on communist propaganda, in particular around the period of the Russian Revolution, Leninism and later Stalinism.
Taking inspiration from contructivist art and architecture, I created block-like letterforms with these slanted corners.
I wanted to create a cold and harsh feeling typeface that was based around the Cyrillic alphabet, translating shapes from one alphabet to then be used for English; thus why I chose a sans-serif bold font in all capitals.
