Three colored double columns show the locally preferred upright and italic/cursive forms for three regions:
default standard Russian (Eastern) forms
alternate Bulgarian (Western) upright forms
alternate Serbian (Southern) italic forms
In traditional Bulgarian typesetting, the upright shapes of characters д (d), г (g), и (i), п (p), т (t) and ш (sh) resemble their cursive forms, i.e. they look similar to Roman lowercase letters g, ƨ (mirrored s), n and m, respectively, instead of like small capital letters as in Russian.
This similarly applies to the character б (b) in Serbian, which has the Russian form in Bulgarian typography.
Drei farbige Doppelspalten zeigen die lokal bevorzugten aufrechten und kursiven Formen für drei Kulturregionen:
russische (östliche) und am weitesten verbreitet Formen
alternative bulgarische (westliche) aufrechte Formen
alternative serbisch (südliche) kursive Formen
In traditionaler bulgarischer Typografie ähneln die aufrechten Glyphen der Buchstaben д (d), г (g), и (i), п (p), т (t) und ш (sh) ihren kursiven Formen, d.h. sie sehen aus wie die römischen Kleinbuchstaben g, ƨ (gespiegeltes s), n und m, und nicht wie die Kapitälchen im Russischen.
Dies gilt in ähnlicher Weise für das serbisch б (b), welches die in bulgarischer Typografie die russische Form beibehält.

Three double columns show the preferred upright and italic/cursive forms for three regions:
1. (blue) default standard Russian (Eastern) forms
2. (red) alternate Bulgarian (Western) upright forms
3. (yellow) alternate Serbian/Macedonian (Southern) italic forms
In traditional Bulgarian typesetting, the upright shapes of characters д (d), г (g), и (i), п (p), т (t) and ш (sh) resemble their local cursive forms,
i.e. they look similar to Roman lowercase letters g, ƨ (mirrored s), n and m, instead of like small capital letters as in Russian.
This similarly applies to the character б (b) in Serbian and Macedonian, although it has the Russian form in Bulgarian typography.
