Vera Evstafieva

There could have been a Mark Markus in my uncle’s family, but Mark appeared in the next generation under another surname, so his name is just an echo...

Maybe a better photo tomorrow 😄

Yes, the fresh issue of Forum has arrived!
Among the articles, clippings, events, and reviews, you’ll find my Nottingham Gingerbread Tile and my review of the ongoing great exhibition at Fitzwilliam Museum.
Also, don’t miss @poorfrankraw.co.uk’s review of the conference at Cambridge University.

There will be a day when I bring these amazing Cyrillic initials into contemporary life.

Some 3 years ago: Postea Cyrillic for me, a folk sun design for him.

That would be lovely. I'm making notes 😅

And here’s Eros — I’ve chosen Amalta for Eros. If you don’t mind.
I realised I’ve never designed a font in the Mania spectrum, which I think is good news 😀
This was the Types of Love series.
The End.

heh, there're a vast field for postmodernist exploration as well, and mixing all possible and impossible things, should be fun!

This World Book Day my son is going to be Michael Rosen and will recite one of his poems... Now, continuing the idea — why not making him an author every year? Lord Byron next to Spiderman and Elsa... interesting.

Matching my fonts to affections and colours.
Apriori Thin — for Ludus, flirtation and light-hearted love.

Types of Love series 🙃

This picture is better, even though these anemones promised to be dark blue and not purple 😄

here's exactly what I was thinking about
every yes is a no to something else...

Great. I know some other people from the Workshop but very briefly, and visited twice. Three years is quite a commitment! I can imagine that time has left you with a lot of memories.

Oh great! Have you met Annika Peterson and Emi Gordon there? I'm curious about your letters, do you continue carving?

Shoutout to my amazing colleagues at Cambridge & Birmingham on the 'Small Performances' project into John Baskerville's typographic punches - today is released a @camdiglib.bsky.social collection of imagery of the punches. Check it out! cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/...

Seen today in Cambridge. Must be Kindersley workshop?

Towards the sun and summer!

Beautiful. Is it complicated to fix them for carving?

The monogram I once designed for today’s birthday boy, who was into analogue photography at the time.
He’s been using it ever since in digital documents, branding his radio-electronics presentations.

Wonderful :) Enjoy the time together :)

I came across these words — 'Potential is not yet a presence.'
To double the effect, let these two phrases coexist here...
Won't tell you why 😌

Some old staff — Aafje font and Python scripting play around it (roughly 2005)

That's a great review I must say.

Thanks a lot, this was a commission and unfortunately the client was satisfied with just Regular and Bold. But as the exclusive use is already over, I can develop it my own way, and I hope I will. I'm working on my website now, and will think what's next after that. I've got a bunch of fonts waiting

Thank you!..

OK

What does this all mean? 😳😀
