Founder
Serebryakov Type Foundry · Denis Serebryakov · 2023
A ten-weight early grotesque with Latin and Cyrillic support, designed to carry a soft, faintly imperfect tone beneath an otherwise neutral surface.
About
Founder sits in the early grotesque tradition, offering ten weights from Hairline to Super alongside a variable font. Its neutrality is deliberate but not sterile: a slight softness and trace of human irregularity set it apart from the harder pragmatism of contemporary neo-grotesques. Denis Serebryakov positions it as a versatile tool suited to brand identity, web use and editorial captioning where clinical precision would feel out of place.
Classification
An early grotesque in the classic tradition, characterised by restrained stroke contrast, subtle humanist irregularities and a neutral disposition that distinguishes it from the mechanical precision of neo-grotesques.
