Hi, I’m Anastasia, a graphic designer specialising in typography and editorial design. I enjoy working with systems, structure, and research, while also finding creative ways to challenge and reinterpret them. Within my practice, I love exploring different print methods, from digital processes to hands-on techniques, and translating imagery and observations into graphic outcomes and visual storytelling.

Between Stops

Between Stops is a deep-dive publication exploring the subject of the bus stop. The book consists of two parts: the first explores the constructed and functional aspects of the bus stop, including shelter structures, seating types, signage systems, and historical origins, alongside an inserted booklet featuring vintage bus tickets.

The second part examines the emotional and lived experiences of passengers waiting at bus stops. It includes a theoretical exploration of Marc Augé’s concept of the ‘non-place’, references to Christopher Herwig’s photographic project Soviet Bus Stops, observations of passenger behaviour, and representations of bus stops in cinema.

The aim of the project was to investigate an everyday object that often goes unnoticed, approaching it from multiple perspectives and angles. By doing so, the project seeks to give identity to the transient, anonymous ‘non-place’ of public transport and the experiences connected to it.

Spine

Spine is a typeface inspired by the natural forms and structures of seashells. It is a compressed, elegant serif typeface that draws on the spiral motifs found in shell formations, combined with sharp, exaggerated serifs that reference the spiked textures and contours of shell surfaces.

This project involved the design and development of a full Latin uppercase and lowercase character set, alongside a printed type specimen and a series of typographic posters.

The type specimen not only presents the letterforms in use, but also tells a visual narrative about the growth and formation of shells, providing context for the inspiration behind the typeface.

The posters were produced using photographic lithography and printed with silver ink.

VZIR

VZIR is a publication exploring the history and symbolism of traditional Ukrainian embroidery. The project serves as both a publication and a type specimen, featuring an original typeface designed in response to traditional embroidery patterns and providing the context and visual source of inspiration behind the letterforms.

The typeface merges the historical Cyrillic writing styles of Ustav and Poluustav with decorative forms inspired by cross-stitch embroidery, combining traditional craft with contemporary typographic design.
