The Arabic Type Design Archive

My work name is Jovanny Lemonad (real name Ivan Gladkikh). I am a Russian type designer. I started designing fonts in 2004 and have since created over one hundred fonts for free and commercial use.

My passion since 2008 has been the creation of free fonts, in particular ornamental fonts. My work has been greatly influenced by experimental typography and as a result, I like to try difficult and experimental things in my font designs. My motto is "fonts for designers by designers".

In 2009 I received an award "For perfection in font design" at the international type design competition "Modern Cyrillic '09".
