Hello. I am looking for a job as a Type Designer. Permanent (full time or half day). Remotely (I am in Ukraine and don't have the opportunity to relocate during the war).

Bachelor of Graphic Design. Bachelor of Musical Composition. Previously worked in a branding agency for 10 years as an illustrator and graphic designer, partly as a strategist. English level is Intermediate, I read texts fluently and understand spoken English well enough. Metalhead, compose and play an 8-string guitar.

5 years experience in Type Design. Since February 2021, I have been individually engaged in font development. Awarded at TDC70 in the Type Design category (I would like to participate in competitions more but don't have the financial means). Specialise in Cyrillic and Latin, but also study Mkhedruli, Armenian, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic scripts. I work in the Glyphs application. Previously used FontLab. Have experience writing Python scripts and simple plugins, as well as web tools – for personal technical tasks.

    Nice work—Wishing you the best of luck, Michael!

    Also, don't doubt your English ability as your text reads perfectly fine and I'm sure your opinion of 'intermediate' is somewhat humble considering most Europeans I meet downplay how good their English is.

    Thank you Paul! The huge amount of information in English left people no choice but to practice it :)

    Will definitely keep you in mind for Cyrillic expansions to my retail library in the future, once I myself have the financial means to do so! Really like your work on Kingfall, especially those drop caps are terrific.
