ABOUT

Albert Kapitonov

Russian type and graphic designer. Creator of PT Reforma-Grotesk (ParaType, 1999). This typeface is based on the letterforms of the Russian pre-revolutionary hand composition typefaces, Uzky Tonky Grotesk ("Condensed Thin Sans"), Poluzhirny Knizhny Grotesk ("Semibold Book Sans"), and Reforma, of H. Berthold and O. Lehmann foundries (St. Petersburg). An extra compressed sans serif, typical for display fonts of the end of 19th and early 20th centuries, it received the Galina Prize for the creative exploration of the Russian typographic tradition at the Kyrillitsa'99 international type design competition in Moscow.
