Monolisk Font
Redrawn and amended paths, and improved kerning.
Monolisk is a rigid, gothic typeface that draws on inspiration from Eastmodern and Brutalist architecture. The letterforms are modelled on post-Soviet buildings – known for their visual rigidity and solid construction.
Monolisk has been described as resolute and unapologetic. Personally, I choose to take that as a compliment.
The design manages to deliver a dominant sense of uniformity, to the point of obstinance, while small unruly facets help to create an undertone of rebellion and dissent, providing an element of quirk and personality. A small poke at the old Soviet socialist paradox of (lack of) freedom through uniformity.
