Cyrillic script
Lowercase forms

Cyrillic uppercase and lowercase letter forms are not as differentiated as in Latin typography. Upright Cyrillic lowercase letters are essentially small capitals (with exceptions: Cyrillic ⟨ а ⟩, ⟨ е ⟩, ⟨ і ⟩, ⟨ ј ⟩, ⟨ р ⟩, and ⟨ у ⟩ adopted Latin lowercase shapes, lowercase ⟨ ф ⟩ is typically based on ⟨ p ⟩ from Latin typefaces, lowercase ⟨ б ⟩, ⟨ ђ ⟩ and ⟨ ћ ⟩ are traditional handwritten forms), although a good-quality Cyrillic typeface will still include separate small-caps glyphs.

Cyrillic typefaces, as well as Latin ones, have roman and italic forms (practically all popular modern computer fonts include parallel sets of Latin and Cyrillic letters, where many glyphs, uppercase as well as lowercase, are shared by both). However, the native typeface terminology in most Slavic languages (for example, in Russian) does not use the words "roman" and "italic" in this sense. Instead, the nomenclature follows German naming patterns:
