Cyrillicsly [Lisa Rasskazova] Maria Doreuli (Moscow) and Krista Radoeva (London) combined forces in Cyrillicsly, a site that deals with Cyrillic type and asks basic questions about it. They also organize type workshops.Maria and Krista met while studying type design in The Hague. During their studies, they had many discussions about the peculiar differences between Russian and Bulgarian Cyrillics, which lead to further investigation of this topic. Later, Maria Doreuli and Lisa Rasskazova teamed up in Contrast Foundry, which is located in Moscow. Other team members include Anna Khorash and Nikita Sapozhkov. In 2014, Maria Doreuli, Krista Radoeva, and Elizaveta Rasskazova co-designed Sputnik Display for Sputnik News. This organic sans typeface family covers Latin, and various brands of Cyrillic, including the ones used in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Abkhazia and Mongolia. In 2015, Sputnik Display received a Special Mention at the Granshan Non-Latin Typeface Design Competition. Liza Rasskazova designed CoFo Robert between 2012 and 2018 at Contrast Type Foundry. Named after Robert Beasley, it is inspired by Clarendon. In 2020, she designed CoFo Cinema1909 (Contrast Foundry) for exclusive use by Moscow's Khudozhestvenny Cinema until Autumn 2022. She was inspired by the Moscow Metro., and in partucular, by the art deco letterforms in the Komsomolskaya station of the Sokolnicheskaya line.
