Research project and typeface based on Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian emigrant periodicals of the first half of the twentieth century in Europe. In the form of a historical study of twentieth-century emigrant publications abroad, the typeface seeks to analyse and understand the schemes by which emigrants sought to preserve their own identity and originality. The result of the research is an interpretation of the concept of preserving one’s own culture in a foreign environment, the appropriation of the outside world into one’s own work and vice versa. Following this research, I am developing a typeface based on historical models, which aims to build a clear idea of Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian emigration as a cultural phenomenon in the context of the Western world.
