Russian Criminal Tattoos

by Woodcutter · Website

Russian Criminal Tattoos is a dingbat font built from the iconic imagery of Soviet-era prison tattoo culture: skulls, saints, criminals, animals, and cryptic Cyrillic banners, all rendered in dense black linework. Each glyph is a standalone illustration compiled and vectorized by Spanish designer Woodcutter Manero. The result is a raw, historically grounded symbol set unlike anything in a standard ornament library.
