About
Designed by Gennady Baryshnikov for advertising and display typography, Inform draws on non-joining brush calligraphy for its energetic letterforms. The Bold style traces its origins to Flash, a 1939 typeface by Edwin W. Sharr, while additional styles were developed at ParaType (ParaGraph) in 1992 by Vladimir Yefimov and Alexander Tarbeev. The family spans three styles: Book, Bold and Shadow Bold.
Classification
Inspired by non-joining brush calligraphy and rooted in mid-century American display lettering, specifically Edwin W. Sharr's Flash (1939). The letterforms are lively and informal, placing it firmly in the display/brush category.
