The Bulgarian Minister of e-Government Bozhidar Bojanov has launched an initiative for Bulgarian institutions to use fonts that support Bulgarian Cyrillic. Source: https://www.facebook.com/bozhidar.bozhanov/posts/pfbid036YFX1SuEjFv4Mzg4WGfdnmCSG6yKT5f4wBokqjZigxCER6tkFdmrxzsD6xeedLBzl

The Google fonts are widely used in the Bulgarian web and I suggest you add support for the Bulgarian Cyrillic Script so that everyone can take advantage of it. You can read more about the loclBGR glyphs with examples and info on this article - https://www.lettersoup.de/what-shall-be-done-for-bulgarian-cyrillic-loclbgr/. More detailed information can be found here - https://www.fontfabric.com/blog/rounded-bulgarian-cyrillic-narrative-and-comparison/.

I will be more than grateful if you consider my proposal!

The oval Cyrillic alphabet has already been codified as an official book standard for printed letters in Bulgaria

The oval form of the Cyrillic alphabet is recognized as official in Bulgaria and is legalized by the Bulgarian Language Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria through the online edition of the "Official Spelling Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language". The Bulgarian Language Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is the only institution in Bulgaria that is authorized to be officially responsible for the codification norms of the modern Bulgarian literary language. In the "Bulgarian alphabet" section, for the first time, the printed capital and small letters are represented by an oval form of the Cyrillic alphabet, and this already turns the oval Cyrillic into an official form of the printed alphabet in Bulgaria. It is curious that the website of the publication "Official Spelling Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language" uses the font of the Russian company "Paratype" - PT Serif BGR.
