Egor Golovyrin

Egor Golovyrin is a graphic artist specializing in all fields of creative letterworking, from designing digital type families and logotypes to writing calligraphy, carving in wood and stone, painting on glass, and frame-by-frame animating—anything you can imagine involving letters. His letter-oriented journey began with classic European and Cyrillic calligraphy and graffiti when he was twelve. Since then, he has combined these two approaches, merging the consciousness and perfectionism of calligraphy with the independence and innovation of graffiti. Egor studied type design in Alexander Tarbeev’s workshop and holds a master’s degree in typography and editorial design. As a member of Contrast Foundry, he works as a type designer on various commissions and in-house typefaces.
