ABOUT







Font City [Igor&Kate Shipovsky]

Font City is a Russian foundry headed by Igor (b. Volgograd, Tver (Russia), 1965) and Katherine (b. 1990, Russia) Shipovsky. Their typefaces: City of Lipetsk, City of Ivanovo, City of Chudovo, City of Oryol, City of Magadan, City of Tsaritsyn, City of Suzdal, City of Khabarovsk (oriental simulation font), City of Moskva, City of Plesetsk, City of Samara, City of Cherkizovo, City of Ostankino. All fonts are for Latin and Cyrillic.

All font names starting with "City of" are identical to those starting with "Gorod", the Russian word for city.

They were sued in August 2003 by Berthold because the foundry's name, Font City, is too close to Berthold's trademarked font name, "City". Hence the name change to Gorod as in Gorod Volgograd (2004).
