Mint Type · Oleh Lishchuk · 2019
A retro display family by Oleh Lishchuk spanning 80 styles across eight weights and five widths, drawing on 1960s–70s lettering and Cyrillic Vyaz ornamental traditions.
About
The design references mid-century display lettering from the 1960s and 1970s alongside the calligraphic Cyrillic tradition of Vyaz, giving it a distinctive Eastern European character. Five width variants – Narrow, Condensed, Normal, Expanded and Wide – each run through eight weights with accompanying obliques, totalling 80 styles. Extensive OpenType features and alternate glyphs extend its typographic range beyond what the style count alone suggests.
Classification
A decorative display family drawing on 1960s–70s lettering aesthetics and Cyrillic ornate Vyaz tradition, making it firmly a display typeface rather than a functional text or grotesque sans.
