Collaboration with
a renowned type foundry

Collaboration with
a renowned type foundry

On this project, we had the privilege of collaborating
with AlphaBravo, and its founder Kyrylo Tkachov.

We decided to share a part of our strong typographic culture with the world.

Fixel is a unique grotesque with a human touch

Fixel is a typeface in two styles, Text and Display, and offers nine weight options ranging from Thin to Black. Its distinctive feature is a unique combination of geometric and humanist grotesques, which results in open letter forms, wide width, crisp edges, and low contrast, striking a balance between restraint and a sense of playfulness and dynamism.

We intentionally designed Fixel typeface to avoid being overly expressive for improved use with large volumes of text. Nevertheless, certain symbols such as the letters "a" and "g" have distinctive features that make Fixel stand out. In addition to the standard set of letterforms, the typeface also includes alternative symbols.

Made with Ukraine
in mind

Finally, a high-quality Cyrillic typeface with a Ukrainian layout! One of the standout features of Fixel is its alternative symbols. These symbols are more flexible, dynamic, and asymmetrical, resembling direct italics. However, because they differ in form from the familiar letter shapes, they are best used in small amounts of text.

Our hope is that Fixel will aid you in developing a unique visual environment, strengthening meaningful communication, and creating new creative forms within the Ukrainian design culture. By utilizing Fixel's distinct and versatile visual form, we believe that you can elevate your design work and make a lasting impact in our community.

Works in all situations
