Part of the Kyiv Metro Fonts, a series of typefaces based on metro station signs in the Ukrainian capital. Started in a workshop with students (Olesia Bachyns’ka, Roman Baranovsky, Galya Dautova, Andriy Holubokiy, Nazariy Kondratiuk, Dasha Lennhren, Mykyta Maltsev, Matvii Masliukov, Oleksandr Piddubniy, Yevhen Spizhovyi) conducted by Yevgen Anfalov and Oleś Gergun in summer 2023. Six typefaces were finished and released by Kyiv Type Foundry. The fonts are free of charge for Ukrainians. Others are asked for a donation in support of Ukrainians in need.

KTF Metro Roman is based on cast metal letters most frequently used for signs on the Red Line since around the early 1960s. The original designer is unknown. Yevgen Anfalov did the digital interpretation. Numerals are inspired by a showing in Walter Käch’s Schriften Lettering Ecritures (1949).
