FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Daria Petrova Moscow-born type designer who first studied book design in Moscow and communication design in Berlin, and graduated from the Typemedia program at KABK, class of 2016, and is now working for LucasFonts in Berlin. Her graduation thesis, Ritual, is intended for use on gravestones, with sandblasting machines. The multi-style typeface family is German expressionist. At Future Fonts, she published the wedge serif display typeface Zangezi (2018), which began as a revival of Keystone Type Foundry's Salem. In 2019, she added Zangezi Sans, and wrote: A new take on the Grotesque genre that is neither cool and rational, nor friendly. Strong color, sharp endings, and an eccentric italic give Zangezi Sans a brutal yet elegant appearance, where "yet" doesn't mean a compromise. Its serpentinous, schizophrenic shapes are an expression of the pure joy of drawing. In 2020, she added Zangezi Sans Text. Typefaces from 2021: Zloy (Russian for evil, angry: this a wicked ultra-fat sharp-edged wedge serif poster typeface). Speaker at ATypI 2018 in Antwerp on grave markers. Interview. Future Fonts link.
