Polin Sans: A Multiscript Typeface Unveiling Polish Modernism

In my contemplative quest spanning several years, the conception of the Polin Sans typeface germinated, a marriage between modernist aesthetics exemplified by Władysław Strzemiński's "a.r." alphabet and the multiscript pre-war Warsaw. Delving into geometric Cyrillic variants, I drew inspiration from "Towards an open layout: A letter to Volodya Yefimov," realizing circular forms, akin to Bulgarian Cyrillic, seamlessly integrate into the classical version, enhancing legibility.

While exploring typoteka.pl, the allure of the Hebrew typeface, Jaffa, echoed the aesthetic of the "a.r." alphabet. Israeli collaborator Ben Nathan skillfully contributed his native script. The original multiscript vision expanded to encompass Greek and Vietnamese, culminating in the Polin Sans family. This typographic journey intricately weaves through the tapestry of Polish modernism, a testament to cultural diversity. Crafted by Mateusz Machalski and Ben Nathan, with invaluable support from Michał Gorczyca and Małgorzata Bartosik, Polin Sans stands as a testament to the rich historical heritage it encapsulates.
