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 cover Latin and Cyrillic:

• Gorod.Cherkizovo.
• Gorod.Khabarovsk. An oriental simulation font.
• Gorod.Moskva.
• Gorod.Murom.
• Gorod.Ostankino.
• Gorod.Plesetsk.
• Gorod.Samara.
• Gorod.Suzdal.
• Gorod.Tsaritsyn.
• Gorod.Volgograd.
• City of Lipetsk.
• City of Ivanovo.
• City of Chudovo.
• City of Oryol.
• City of Magadan.

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

Font City was 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.
