Klynok (meaning “saber blade” in Ukrainian) is a shapeshifting type system inspired by Ukrainian Cossack Baroque heritage. It is the result of two years of historical research and design studies in France during my master’s and postgraduate programs. Currently, it includes display, text, and italic styles in Latin and Ukrainian Cyrillic.
This project has won a Wood Pencil at the D&AD Awards 2025.
