A monoline informal script drawn from Igor Zhikharev's own handwriting, originally designed at Polygraphmash in 1953 and later digitised in 1989 by Gennady Baryshnikov with Vladimir Yefimov.
About
Zhikharev originates from the Soviet type design tradition, created at the Polygraphmash institute from the designer's personal handwriting. The digital revival by Baryshnikov preserves the casual, even-stroked character of the original, making it suited to both running text and display settings. A single Regular style is available, carrying discretionary ligatures to support its informal, connected quality.
Classification
Monoline informal script based on Igor Zhikharev's own handwriting, designed for both text and display use. The even stroke weight and casual letter construction place it firmly in the informal script category.
