Hi, does sb know what's the name of this typeface?
thx a lot!

It isn't Cyrillic at all, it just includes some very unusual Latin character shapes. I think it is custom lettering for a logo or book cover, and not a font.

Hi, i wrote "cyrillic looking" not cyrillic. that's the clue: latin looking like it was cyrillic. I found so far Izhitsa Regular which seems to work for me.

It IS Cyrillic, but it's the version that was developed for religious texts. Do some searches for Slavonic or old church Slavonic and you should find a fair number of fonts to add to Izhitsa. Not encouraged during the Soviet era but afterwards a popular letter-form for Russian and Ukrainian book titles, headings and advertisements.
