They are named after the Orthodox liturgical book ''Irmologion'' which was printed in the Russian Empire (in an edition of 1913) with this typeface. The Irmologion fonts were, and still are, very popular because they were the first high-quality digital fonts for Orthodox liturgical typography in New Church Slavonic publicly available in Russia (the earlier Izhitsa typeface was designed primarily for stylish advertising and for academic Old Church Slavonic typography). However, they have been made obsolete by a remake, the Heirmos font〔(hirmos ) (Russian)〕 by the same author. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irmologion (typeface)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
