About
Designed by Gayaneh Bagdasaryan for ParaType in 2004, Red Klin draws on early 20th-century Russian fine art traditions, including the lettering of Sergey Chekhonin and the constructivist graphic design of El Lissitzky. Its heavy, geometric forms reflect Suprematist painting principles, making it suited to poster work, advertising and display typography. A sketch version under the name Klin received a TDC2 2000 diploma.
Classification
A caps-only decorative display typeface with geometric, Suprematist construction rooted in early Soviet avant-garde lettering. Its heavy, angular forms place it firmly in the display category with geometric subcategory influences.
