In this workshop, Ilya will guide you through the history and contemporary use of Cyrillic type, exploring different Cyrillic-based languages and their unique typographic needs. In the first part, you’ll gain a solid understanding of Cyrillic’s historical background and design principles. In the second part, you’ll apply this knowledge by extending an existing Latin font with your first Cyrillic letterforms.
The workshop is designed to be mostly self-paced and adapted to your skill level. You’ll work digitally on your laptop using your preferred software, with guidance and feedback throughout the process. By the end of the three days, you will have completed your first Cyrillic typeface style.
Alongside hands-on work, the workshop includes a few lectures—mainly on the history of Cyrillic—as well as small exercises to help you grasp the nuances of Cyrillic letterforms.
Learning Goals
Understand the historical background of Cyrillic.
Develop high-quality Cyrillic letterforms for an existing Latin font.
Expand your typographic knowledge and skills.
This course is ideal for anyone eager to explore typography beyond the Latin script. Since Cyrillic is the closest writing system to Latin from a graphical perspective, learning to design Cyrillic letterforms is a valuable and rewarding opportunity. Prior knowledge of typeface design is strongly recommended.
Required Materials
For this workshop, you will need a laptop with your preferred font editing software — such as Glyphs, RoboFont, or FontLab. Additionally, having some sketching materials — pencils, pens, or markers — would be great for initial drawing.

Central Park

Fall Viewing Attractions

蓝星旅行者

Walking through New York&#39;s Central Park, it seems to fall into the gentle cracks of the steel forest. Morning light penetrates the forest, spreads powder and white brocade on the cherry blossom avenue, the wind is outdated petals fall, and the corners of the skyscraper soften into a background sound in the flower shadow. The city code on the bench is the most moving. The cold chair was stroked by the fingertips, and the short text on the nameplate hid the New Yorker&#39;s temperature: &quot;Give my wife Carol, because she loves Central Park, and I love her&quot; - the separation of life, the young encounter, the mother and son bonding, all condensed into a dew in the wood grain. When high school students spread out books and laughed on the sheep lawn, and when the reciting of Shakespeare&rsquo;s poems drifted from Cherry Hill to the lake, the park became an emotional resonant box, full of human narratives that transcended language. In the afternoon, I closed my eyes in the Ramble Forest area. Bird song and stream sound woven into natural white noise, suddenly understand the deep meaning of Olmsted: this 3.4 million square meters of green lung, originally dedicated to &quot;the handicrafts of tired industrial workers&quot;, so that people who can not travel far can drink nature here. The boat house pier at dusk is the most magical, The wooden paddles smashed the red-stained lake, and the wild ducks swam through the reflection of Manhattan. The hustle and bustle of the city sank to the bottom, leaving only the breathing in the shadow of the oasis of the oars. &quot;When the whispers of the bench fell into the palms with the cherry blossom rain, I knew that the oasis in this concrete wasteland, It was New York&#39;s prose poem to the world. &quot;&nbsp;
