Russian Alphabet

This is something I designed for Thesis last year (2019) - The idea was creating something to surprise myself. This was the first time I'd attempted to design an entire alphabet. But it created a way for me to get to know my ethnicity and language on another level. I like the idea of using design to understand your heritage. Through its history and modern culture. That is what I did here! I looked through USSR poster design, where the type is blocky and bulky, executed in strange ways on the page. I ended up showing designing social awareness poster for the project, all using this typeface for them!
