Ubani, an independent Tbilisi cityscape research centre, published a guidebook in English and Georgian addressing the architecture and history of Tbilisi’s Kala district (კალა).
Body text in both English and Georgian versions is set in Loos by CSTM Fonts, while the lettering on the guide’s cover is inspired by a partially faded inscription on a 1877 tombstone located in the Anchiskhati Basilica of St. Mary. The publication was designed by Daria Yarzhambek and Yury Ostromentsky, with the lettering created as part of Tsartserebi, a project rethinking the historical Georgian typography.
Loos is a closed-aperture sans serif that grew out of the lettering on the cover of Adolf Loos’ book ‘Why a Man Should Be Well-dressed: Appearance Can Be Revealing’. The typeface supports Latin, Cyrillic, and Georgian. The font license is available in four options: Latin and Cyrillic support, Latin and Georgian, just Georgian, or all three scripts.
