Old Kharkiv
A historical display face for urban stories, cultural projects, and posters — the letter keeps a sense of place.
Old Kharkiv is a decorative typeface by Bohdan Hdal, created in 2017. Historical forms and an uneven living rhythm bring back the feeling of urban signage and printed memory. The face suits cultural projects, posters, urban stories, covers, and place identity.

Hand this prompt to your AI agent. It connects the Shryftoriz server itself, reads Old Kharkiv out of the catalogue, and builds with it.
Build me a typographic system around "Old Kharkiv" 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 "Old Kharkiv" 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.
