From Russia With Type

Five Russian type designers post drawings and routinge notes about type designs. Daily Type is Yury Ostromentsky, Dasha Yarzhambek, Dmitry Jakovlev, Yury Gordon, and Ilya Ruderman. Noteable for the shear frequency of constant updates if not for the sketches, annotation and ideas explored.

Very nice lettering. The picture of the four K's makes me want to keep my hands in my pockets next time I feel like designing some type.

Nice lettering, cool illustration. What a pleasure to browse.
I find that some of the pieces are not so different from some of Letterror’s work, especially those with a combination of handwriting plus ornamentation.
The calligraphic drawings by Gordon are so beautiful, and so are Ruderman’s illustrations.
Certainly a website to bookmark.
