For years, my contemplation revolved around crafting a type family that seamlessly intertwines the modernist allure embodied in Władysław Strzemiński's Alphabet "a.r." with the multiscript essence of pre-war Warsaw. The fruition of this contemplation led to the birth of the Polin Sans typeface.
My exploration delved into the geometric nuances of the Cyrillic alphabet, drawing inspiration from the thought-provoking "Towards an open layout: A letter to Volodya Yefimov." Intrigued by the harmonious integration of circular forms into the classical version of the Cyrillic alphabet, a departure from the familiar Bulgarian style, became a pivotal aspect of Polin Sans.
During my stint with typoteka.pl, the captivating Hebrew typeface, Jaffa, by the Idźkowski & Sk-a foundry, mirrored the modernist essence of Alphabet "a.r." in its own way. This prompted the inclusion of Hebrew in the multiscript journey, with Ben Nathan from Israel contributing his expertise.
The multiscript vision expanded further to embrace Greek and Vietnamese, making Polin Sans a historical odyssey through the intricacies of Polish modernism. Crafted by Mateusz Machalski and Ben Nathan, with invaluable support from Michał Gorczyca and Małgorzata Bartosik, the Polin Sans family exemplifies the collaborative effort of individuals with diverse cultural backgrounds.
