obnov – Obyknovennaya Novaya fonts
The Obyknovennaya Novaya (Ordinary New Face) typeface was widely used in the USSR for scientific and technical publications, as well as textbooks.
The fonts are encoded to KOI8-R (which is a long-established Russian font encoding, rather than a TeX/LaTeX encoding). To use the fonts, the user needs Cyrillic font support.
