ABOUT

Sabina Irina Chipara

Sabina Chipara (or: Kipara) was born in 1987 near the seaside in Constanza, Romania. She moved to Bucharest to study graphic design at the National University of Arts in Bucharest, Romania, and at EINA Centre Universitari de Disseny i Art de Barcelona. She took the TDi program at the University of Reading, UK, in 2016. Speaker at ATypI 2018 in Antwerp, where she surveys the archaic Romanian alphabets. Sabina also helps with type design at MCKL Type, Jeremy Mickel's type foundry in Los Angeles. She is currently based in Amsterdam. Her typefaces:

• MoRo (2012) and Arhaic Romanesc (2012). MoRo, or Modern Romanesc, is an artsy typeface. She writes: MoRo is a modern version of archaic Romanian types. The design of the MoRo letters combines the features of Cyrillic glyphs with Latin shapes.
• In 2012, during an Advanced Typography Masters at EINA, Barcelona, she developed Zagoris.
• DIN Next Stencil (2017) and DIN Next Shapes (2018). Done together with Akira Kobayashi at Linotype.
• Rosella (2017, Monotype). An engraved lettering typeface with textured, inline, beveled, shaded and filled versions.
• In 2018, she designed the 8-weight simplified sans family Bega (Indian Type Foundry) and the high-contrast calligraphic script Britney (done with Diana Ovezea), which was released as a free font at Fontshare.
• At Future Fonts, she published Bizzarrini (together with Diana Ovezea). Diana Ovezea writes about the wonderful Bizzarrini: Though the idea originates from a Stefan Schlesinger ad sketch for a Paris couture house, we straightened up this typeface and made it seem engineered and sharp. It gets its name from the Bizzarrini Manta, a wedge-shaped concept car designed in 1968 by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Bizzarrini has extremely long wedge serifs. Following Schlesinger's sketch, it features very tall capitals with an out-of proportion middle-line (very big heads on S, B and R).
• The connected monoline sans script Akin (2019), done with Diana Ovezea at Indian Type Foundry.
• The neo-grotesque typeface Amurg (2019).
• Anouk (2020). A reversed high contrast typeface designed to be used at large sizes.
• Aesop (2021). A despoke typeface for the brand identity of Iwoca. The Iwoca identity elements were influenced by the work of Wassily Kandinsky through geometric shapes and angles. The corners of the sans typeface are rounded and provide a smooth appearance on screens.
