Part of the Kyiv Metro Fonts, a series of typefaces based on metro station signs in the Ukrainian capital. Started in a workshop with students (Olesia Bachyns’ka, Roman Baranovsky, Galya Dautova, Andriy Holubokiy, Nazariy Kondratiuk, Dasha Lennhren, Mykyta Maltsev, Matvii Masliukov, Oleksandr Piddubniy, Yevhen Spizhovyi) conducted by Yevgen Anfalov and Oleś Gergun in summer 2023. Six typefaces were finished and released by Kyiv Type Foundry. The fonts are free of charge for Ukrainians. Others are asked for a donation in support of Ukrainians in need.

KTF Metro Sport is based on the nine Cyrillic letters of the sign for the Palats Sportu (Палац Спорту) station, designed by architect Nikolai Alyoshkin in c.1989, who had them cast in bronze in Novohrad Volynsky. An additional source were the eight Latin letters of the Megavideo logo. Only after Matvii Masliukov had extended it to a full typeface did KTF find out that the common source was an existing typeface, Leo Meuffels’s New York 30 (1984).
