“From the very beginning we tried to make TypeTogether a publishing platform that allowed us to promote and commercialize work that we like by very talented designers. One of them is Tom Grace. The quality of his designs is impressive and technically impeccable. With Iskra, Tom also managed to challenge the boundaries between utilitarian and decorative type with a family that excels in text settings and yet possesses a distinct flair. Its eye-catching forms are an oblique tribute to the less-predictable style of brush lettering and contain daring top-heavy asymmetry, elegant curves and economical proportions. Its warmth comes from the details of individual letterforms, but its performance is demonstrated through its balanced rhythm over long spans of text. Being an enthusiast for Cyrillic letterforms, Tom also added broad language support for Cyrillic.”
