meyerhold

a left-leaning font

I have always had an interest in Russia and how a system like Communism has an effect on the arts. The regulatory nature of those politics seemed to have manifested themselves in rigid typographic forms within the arts.

Inspired by a Constructivist poster for a play by a Russian director, I designed Meyerhold. Over several stages of development, I established cohesive sans serif, slab serif, and small caps styles.
