For years, I've delved into the notion of crafting a type family that seamlessly blends the modernist allure embodied by Władysław Strzemiński's "a.r." alphabet and the rich, multiscript pre-war Warsaw heritage. Thus, the concept of Polin Sans took root. Intrigued by the geometric nuances of the Cyrillic alphabet, especially in the essay "Towards an open layout: A letter to Volodya Yefimov," I discovered the harmonious integration of circular forms, akin to Bulgarian Cyrillic, within the classical version without disrupting readability.
While engrossed in typographic exploration on typoteka.pl, the captivating Hebrew typeface, Jaffa, by Idźkowski & Sk-a foundry, unfolded as the Hebrew counterpart to the "a.r." alphabet. Collaborating with Ben Nathan from Israel, the project evolved into a multiscript venture, encompassing Greek and Vietnamese. Polin Sans is a historical odyssey through the intricacies of Polish modernism, crafted by individuals with diverse cultural backgrounds. Designed by Mateusz Machalski and Ben Nathan, supported by Michał Gorczyca and Małgorzata Bartosik, Polin Sans stands as a testament to the fusion of aesthetics and cultural heritage.
