Wayfinding Typeface for Cyrillic Languages
A wayfinding font with icons inside.
Guidy is a wayfinding typeface designed around the needs of modern Cyrillic languages. Alongside multilingual letterforms, it includes an icon-search feature built into the font: typed commands such as world=, bed= and info= summon corresponding symbols. Collective Typeworks credits Matveij Malkin, Danilo Borovinić, Anna Kondrashova and Maxim Keshishev for the design.
