About
Designed by Yana Nosenko with contributions from Dmitry Kirsanov, Mayak takes its formal cues from constructivist typefaces of the 1920s and 30s. The 18-style family covers condensed through ultra extended widths, with small caps and a substantial set of stylistic alternates throughout. Its modular geometry suits poster and magazine work as well as screen applications.
