My aim is to introduce Ukraine to the international arena of type design. Type is an essential part of the culture and its identity. I want to show typographic works of Ukrainian graphic artists of the past century and how modern type designers in Ukraine are struggling for their identity and taking inspiration from our heritage. I will show some of my projects inspired by Ukrainian architecture and roots, an art project dedicated to Ukrainian Cyrillic and Ukrainian type design heritage called Ukrainian Letters (temporary) museum, and also some works of my Ukrainian colleagues.
