Unfortunately Ladoga and Quant lack the Kyrgyz and Kasakh glyphs that I need. (They have special characters for „German umlaut sounds“ ü and ö, as well as ng). I don’t think Baltica is very legible, even if it fits the style. Literaturnaya seems a bit too light, but as „favourite text face of Soviet typography“ it surely fits the bill. I’ll probably go for Journal+Sans, but I didn’t scan the whole Paratype library yet.
