Niezalezna Poster

This poster is dedicated to Ukraine’s struggle for independence. For this poster was recreated Illustration by Yaroslav Gordinsky, which was found on the cover of a magazine from 1930. The font used for the heading design was inspired by the works of Ukrainian graphic artist Oleh Snarsky.

ACCIDENTED ‣ SPONTANEOUS ‣ UNPLANNED

Experiments with the visual vocabulary of Ukrainian graphic artists Vasyl Krychevskyi and Oleksandr Saenko. The experimental typography reads “Моя воля обирати власну долю” (Eng: “My will to choose my own fate”). In this project, I explore the visual style representation of a blank item. All variants, which emerged accidentally, spontaneously, and unplanned, are embraced, as they align with the ethos: “My will to choose my own fate.”

Invisible city

In this series of postcards about her hometown, Iryna has revealed the usual places for Poltava residents in a new way, showing an invisible reality that no camera can capture. The illustrator hopes that this magical and playful atmosphere will someday become part of the city’s mythology, and the images will be recognizable far beyond its borders.

The inscription on the postcards translates as “You know, Poltava has its own vibe”

Decutto typeface

A neo-grotesque that packs the Marionette formula and some blackletter ideas into a low-contrast sans serif design. Its name plays on the phrases “off cut” and “cut to” which express the key feature – the contemporary legible letter shape is decorated with cut carved edges and counters, giving the typeface crisp and simplistic look, like that of an old minted coin.
