Ukrainian cities at war. Typeface design.
This project is a way to represent the war crimes russia do in Ukraine right now with the help of the design language.
Each of these Ukrainian cities has suffered a lot and it's only a small part of all the places that became victims of this war.
Each design is telling a certain story — whether it's a silhouette of a civilian building damaged by a missile attack or the letters are "shot through" as artillery attacks do.
Kharkiv—is a Ukrainian city made out of steel and concrete.
Borodyanka—a Ukrainian town not far from Kyiv has been destroyed by russian occupants.
This typeface represents the civilian building destroyed by the missile attack.
BUCHA. GENOCIDE. Stabbing pain just as sharp corners of the letters.
Bucha is what has changed us again after February 24. It’s inhuman, hellish violence made by the russian beasts. The letters are "shot through" by artillery attacks.
IRPIN, a town near Kyiv, was reduced to rubble by russian forces. Hundreds of people were killed. The ones who survived were raped by russian occupants. Most of buildings are destroyed.
Here is a typeface where letters are placed in the broken windows. Inside there’s fire left, around—shards of glass. The letters are broken too but keep standing.
