Zakznak · Maksym Kobuzan · 2022
A free modular stencil sans-serif by Maksym Kobuzan, inspired by stencilled technical signage and architectural details, with a distinctive narrow set produced by sliced bowl forms.
About
The design takes its name from the Ukrainian word for 'offensive' and draws on stencilled markings found on walls and building surfaces. Bowl slices on the sides of letterforms reduce apparent spacing, producing a naturally condensed texture suited to tight leading. Alternative wide and open character variants allow the rhythm to be loosened where needed. Coverage spans Extended Latin, Basic Cyrillic with a dedicated Ukrainian alternate set, and Basic Greek.
Classification
A modular stencil sans-serif with distinctive bowl slices that create a narrow, tightly-spaced appearance; the stencil construction and geometric modularity place it firmly in the display category.
