Road Works

Road Works Zine is a typeface specimen for the “Road Works” typeface, an experimental and variable font inspired by road cracks. The zine also serves as a font license. Additionally, the back of each zine is a poster showcasing the “Road Works” typeface in use, with eight different design options available. The typeface is a visual exploration of our ever-changing environment, serving as a limitless source of inspiration. Road cracks, in particular, became the foundation for the design. The font includes five stylistic sets in both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. While letter variations are randomized, you can control them manually by selecting specific glyphs.

– Each letter is a unique depiction of a road crack.
– Letter “O” variations inspired by road hatches.
– Including symbols based on road markings.

For the posters, designer Olga Kuzovkina collaborated with eight designers, each of whom created a unique poster using their own visual language and approach. The front side is designed to resemble a red and white crosswalk, inviting you to physically or metaphorically step across and begin experimenting.
