UniOpt (1 Font)

UniOpt is an experimental font designed by Viktor Kharyk in Op Art style. It is based on free brush technique similar to experimental lettering of early decades of the 20th century; for instance to ‘Graficheskaya Azbuka’ (‘Graphic ABC’) by Peter Miturich and works by Victor Vasareli. The face is legible even at small sizes and quite useful as a display, initial and logo font. The rigid double-width structure allows to create complicated decorative works using vertical composition. It’s interesting that diacritical marks are also placed inside the character square fields and don’t destroy geometrical order. The decorative abilities of the font are increased by inverted versions of characters that may be used in different combinations including color schemes. The character set contains expanded Latin, Greek and Cyrillic ranges. UniOpt was awarded for type design excellence at TypeArt’05 Contest in Moscow. The font was licensed by ParaType in 2006.
