  6. How hard is it for an English-speaking monoglot to learn #Cyrillic?

    Just thought it might be nice to be able to distinguish the various Cyrillic-written languages, not necessarily learn any of them in-depth (ADHD, yo ;)

  10. Kyrylo Tkachov from Alfabravo shared a work in progress—an Ukrainian Cyrillic cursive project that feels especially interesting for the way it engages local traditions, historical references, and alternative graphic logics, rather than defaulting to so-called 'standard' Cyrillic italics. Curious to see where this goes with Latin and Greek characters.🤔

  14. Good to see a master’s project centered on Ukrainian type design presented in UAP (Poznań).

    Lumyo is described as a text typeface family shaped by Ukrainian authenticity. What matters here is not “local flavor” as decoration, but an attempt to think through Ukrainian Cyrillic as a design problem, a historical layer, and a living graphic tradition with its own logic and references.

    Congrats to Anna Pohorielova.

  18. When designing multilingual systems, what becomes the default? Whose language serves as the sample? Whose history shapes the narrative?

    “Erasure by Default” describes cases where one dominant example stands in for the whole.
    The MyFonts post on Cyrillic is a clear example: a script used by over 50 languages is framed solely through a russian lens. A shared typographic ecology is reduced to an imperial norm, even though Cyrillic also lives in Ukrainian, Bulgarian, or many Central Asian languages (which were forced into it under russification policies).

    Power operates through defaults, metadata, and taxonomy. It’s not merely exclusion but deciding who gets to represent the many.
