Syrillic is a typeface
Now finalised as a font, Syrillic began in 2001 as part of a university project in typography design and branding.
Initially it was only the letters used in the SRULI RECHT logo.
Now finalised as a font, Syrillic began in 2001 as part of a university project in typography design and branding.

it
was first created by bumping up a white stroke on a white page so that
very little of the font body remained, then condensing the kerning to
lose sections of the letters. Leaning toward the love of soviet and
constructivist design the letters hint at Cyrillic, an alphabet often
credited to being created by Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius in the 9th
Century.
Primarily the initial idea was to reduce as much of the letter as possible and allow the eye to fill in the gaps and missing lines based on familiarity and suggestion.
Post university the letters in the logo were developed into those used now with Nimrod Weis of Eness design.
Taking what was originally a raw attack at chopping and inverting letters, we reformed a more refined logo typeface, still very similar to the original, but playing more on the repetition of letter shapes - where the T and L are the same shape, so is the E and F.

More recently, in talking with Jarred Ebehardt of WeAreNotYou, it was opined there was room to develop it into a full typeface for titling products. Over a three to four month period a typeface was extrapolated from the ideas of the logo through email conversation of written words and attachments containing the font as ideas were sent back and forth.
Jarred proposed a set of letters based on the ideas behind the logo.
I chopped them up, put them back together, and returned them.
He did the same.
I did the same.
We repeated this process till just a few days past when we both felt it was as balanced as we could get it with two minds on one thing.
Concurrently Jarred and I worked on Typeface Two - WORN.
