City of Melitopol entry sign
Contributed by Alexey Nevsky on Oct 6th, 2024.
Entry sign to the city of Melitopol (Мелітополь), made in Friz Quadrata Bold, with Cyrillic letters. Paratype does offer a Cyrillic version of this typeface, but theirs has different forms for Л and Ь than what’s featured in the sign.
The photo was taken on 18 May 2018. In addition to cherries and cogwheels (for mechanical engineering), the symbols on the right depict honeycombs – Melitopol literally is the “city of honey”.
