Interview with Denis Masharov, art director of Shandesign, font designer, lecturer at the HSE School of Design. About font design schools, the role of typography in corporate identity and commercial works of font designers. In the design environment, people who do font design are stars by definition. We use their work every day, but we know very little about how they create their works. In a conversation with Denis Masharov, we will talk about what distinguishes a font designer from everyone else, who you can learn this from and how the commercial side of a font designer's work is organized. We will not forget about the role of fonts in corporate identity and in modern communication either. - How do modern typography and fonts relate to historical stages of development? - What key features can be distinguished in modern typography? - Why did the fashion for wild disproportionate fonts appear? - Will something change in typography in the next 5 years? - Is font design profitable in Russia? — Tell us about the fonts you have made for commercial companies? Can every company afford a font? Is it expensive? — Can a good font be a corporate identity? — Is font design an individual job? — Is Helvetica a trendy font now? — Is it possible to be a good font designer without being a graphic designer? How is font related to engineering work? — Tell us, how do you like the local audience?
