Sergey Chekhonin

Sergey Vasil'evich Tchehonine (Chekhonin) (b. 1878, Valdayka, Novgorod province, d. 1936, Loerrach, Germany) was a Russian graphic artist, portrait miniaturist, ceramicist, and illustrator, who belonged to the World of Art (Mir Iskusstva) group in early 20th century Russia. He was a master vignette, logo and illuminated letter drawer. Wikipedia: In 1928, Chekhonin left the Soviet Union and emigrated to Paris. There he worked in the field of artistic industry and stage set design. He also lived in Germany, worked in theaters and engaged himself in painting porcelain and working on book design, preferring them to decorative multi-color printing painting on fabrics.

His lettering style influenced several type designers. Here are a few examples:
