SOYUZ (СОЮЗ) – Force of the Wind album art 1 — Yevgeniy Anfalov, Alex Chumak. License: All Rights Reserved.

Descending from the eclectic underground of Minsk, Belarus, SOYUZ [Cyrillic: СОЮЗ] seek to re-imagine the 1970s Música popular Brasileira movement by connecting the dots between the jazz-orientated, non-English speaking pop music of the 20th century, and modern-day compositions. Led by composer and vocalist Alex Chumak, the name SOYUZ translates to ‘union’ reflecting the creative collaboration of the trio, including one of the key figures of the Belarusian underground scene Mikita Arlou and drummer Anton Nemahai.

The album typography combines two unreleased typefaces from Kyiv Type Foundry, KTF Cirk and KTF Forma.

Thank you for this addition to the collection, Yevgeni!

This artwork brings together some examples of typedesigners doing other things than designing type. It’s of course an example of our tag uses by the typeface’s designer, but also author as designer: Alex Chumak is one of the members of the band Soyuz. And if we had the tag, it would be a great showing of “2+ typedesigners doing something else than typedesign together”.
