I've attended 2 of Maxim's workshops. Highly recommended.

Those images look familiar ;-) I recall some French as well.

Yes, there is something vaguement familier about them. Mais qui est ce personnage-la?!

Was I ever that young?

This workshop was very helpful indeed. I learned a great deal about Cyrillic type design.

Yes, you did… I used your Cyrillic version of Hypatia Sans in the headpiece (⬆︎).

This must be a screwup.

John Hudson · January 2016

Of all the characters in the standard Cyrillic charset, my least favourite to design is №.

Me: Here it is.
Maxim: Make the N part narrower. Please.
Me: Okay, here is the revised version.
Maxim: Make the N part narrower. Please.
Me. Hmm, really? Okay. How's this?
Maxim: Make the N part narrower. Please.
Me. Well, okay, but I'm really worrying that it's getting too narrow now.
Maxim: Make the N part narrower. Please.

What about the ordinal º in the №? It’s even more fun to design:

Is that amazing book about arithmetic in Old Slavonic available for online research?

This is the famous Arithmetica by Leonty Magnitsky, published in Moscow in 1703 (2,400 copies were printed). It was used as the principal textbook on mathematics in Russia until the middle of the 18th century. Its facsimile edition of 1914 is available on-line for downloading (in DjView format). B.t.w., that book was written in Russian, but typeset in Old Slavonic poluustav.

Wonderful! Thank you very very much, Maxim. Hope someday I could take part on your Cyrillic workshop.
