description: <p>Volkhov is a low-contrast \
  seriffed typeface with a robust character, \
  intended for providing a motivating reading \
  experience.</p> \
  <p>As a four-weight family it is \
  well-suited for complex text environments \
  being economic and legible, contemporary and \
  prominent. Many of its design solutions \
  relate to this purpose: large open counters, \
  rather short descenders, and brutal \
  asymmetric serifs.</p> \
  <p>Spacing in Bold is slightly increased \
  compared to the normal weight, because the \
  bold mass is mostly grown inwards. The Italic \
  has a steep angle and a distinctive \
  calligraphically reminiscent character, as \
  a counterpart to the rigorous Regular.</p> \
  <p>Designed by Ivan Petrov.</p>
