У каждого шрифта есть автор, каждый шрифт нарисован в определённую эпоху в определённой стране. У каждого шрифта есть свои особенности, свой характер, свой голос. Один и тот же текст может передавать совершенно разную интонацию в зависимости от того каким шрифтом он набран.У каждого шрифта есть автор, каждый шрифт нарисован в определённую эпоху в определённой стране.

Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby. This was not the same building of which the stately ruins still interest the traveller, and which was erected at a later period by the Lord Hastings, High Chamberlain of England, one of the first victims of the tyranny of Richard the Third, and yet better known as one of Shakspeare’s characters than by his historical fame. The castle and town of Ashby, at this time, belonged to Roger de Quincy.Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby.

About

Lurk B is a part of Lurk collection, developed in 2019 especially for Yury Dud’s YouTube channel. All styles of the font are not just Bold, Light, Extended, and Condensed styles we’re used to, but a wide range of tones: neutral, harsh, smooth, noisy, discreet, etc. Such a tool allows for telling different stories in the same single typographic language, and makes it possible to utilize very little additional graphics — all it takes is a typeface.

The collection has two typefaces: Lurk A and Lurk B. Each typeface is equipped with its own specific set of tones, classified in an elementary, fact-based way: the author of Lurk A styles is Ilya Ruderman, while Lurk B was designed by Yury Ostromentsky.

We want the emotional palette of the typeface to work at its full capacity, as it was designed to. This is why we sell Lurk in two packages, Lurk A (10 styles) and Lurk B (8 styles + bonus file where styles 1–3 are recorded as one typeface with alternatives).
