Thank you!
I tried a slab serif as body font only once (can’t remember which), for a book that I typeset during vocational school, and I wouldn’t try it again.

Cyrillic is illegible per se ;-)
Seriously, I find Cyrillic text always looks like in all small caps, besides me still not used to reading it.

Thank you ;-)
For now I decided to use just PT Serif plus PT Sans. Everything that I tried yet in „historic“ looks didn’t please my eyes.
