Jeff Script specimen from ParaType

A monoline Cyrillic script digitised from the personal handwriting of the late Russian type designer Vladimir Yefimov, released by ParaType in 2009 to mark his 60th birthday.

About

Gennady Fridman developed the typeface from Yefimov's own handwriting as a tribute to the designer who shaped much of the classical Cyrillic type canon. A companion face, Jeff Pictures, was later digitised by Anna Shmeleva in 2015 from marginal sketches and artistic notes in Yefimov's sketchbooks, intended for playful display work including comics. The family spans just two styles: the script itself and the pictorial supplement.

Classification

A monoline informal script based on the personal handwriting of Vladimir Yefimov, with a companion dingbat/pictures face drawn from his sketchbooks. Handwritten, casual character places it firmly in the informal script category.
