Daria Cohen’s personal website
On her personal portfolio website, Daria Cohen writes:
I’m a Type and Media trained type designer based in Berlin. I’ve worked on Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek with Dinamo, NaN, Swiss Typefaces and Vectro (to name a few) contributing to various retail typefaces as well as projects for Call of Duty, Spotify, Wise, and a generous number of NDAs.
My self-initiated projects revolve around one goal: making fonts my grandma would recognize.
The gravestone on my homepage ties into my passion for death studies. I dream of opening a funeral home someday, but until then, my fonts are free for all death-related projects.
The website was designed and built by Lena Weber, who comments:
Since Daria is a type-designer the goal was to build a home for her fonts & projects, linking to different foundry websites for purchase.
The site is an homage to extended glyph-sets, alternates, carefully crafted letters and – of course – to Daria. 🥀🕊️
On reload random characters are pulled from the fonts, creating encrypted inscribing on the digital headstone: The »Daria Cohen password-generator«?
The site is divided in »the living« (fonts, released and available for purchase) and „the rising“ stuck as for in progress fonts in the bony underworld.
The custom backend allows for font upload, everything else is generated automatically.
Free font conditions hidden in an easter egg. Thank you Daria for your trust to go wild! I really enjoyed working with a type-only asset pool, diving deep into details, digging for glyphs and expressing an idea through placement and color only.
Swipe for a graveyard of discarded designs as well!
Text on the website is set in Daria’s own Onlysans.
