Kolyada
An expressive serif for cultural posters, festive identity, and packaging where tradition should feel contemporary.
Kolyada is a serif by Kyrylo Tkachov, released by Inner Space in 2013. Its bold drawing and expressive rhythm give short phrases a warm, recognisable voice. The typeface suits cultural posters, festive identity, packaging, covers, and characterful headlines.

Hand this prompt to your AI agent. It connects the Shryftoriz server itself, reads Kolyada out of the catalogue, and builds with it.
Build me a typographic system around "Kolyada" using the Shryftoriz MCP server. Look the font up there first (lookup_font), check which cuts it actually has, then set a scale: display, headings, subheads, body, small print — with sizes, line heights and tracking for each. Say which cut does which job and why. If "Kolyada" is wrong for one of those roles, propose a Ukrainian alternative from the catalogue (find_alternatives) instead of stretching it. Finish with CSS I can paste into a project. If the Shryftoriz MCP server is not connected yet, add it first: HTTP transport, name "shryftoriz", URL https://shryftoriz.online/api/mcp — in Claude Code that is `claude mcp add --transport http shryftoriz https://shryftoriz.online/api/mcp`.
Or press the one you use — the prompt lands straight in its chat window.
