Schrift Foundry started from more than a decade of experience in typography and publishing at Schrift Publishers, founded by Eugene Yukechev and Rustam Gabbasov in 2013. Over the years, Schrift Publishers released dozens publications on typography and the art of type.

In 2020, Schrift Foundry was established with the arrival of Dmitry Pilikov, marking a new phase in their work and bringing a more focused, systematic approach to type production. By 2024, the foundry offered a diverse collection of fonts and provided custom type production for a wide range of customers. Their typefaces are designed to balance form and function, whether for book layouts or large-scale media projects.

Schrift Foundry approaches typography as both an art and a craft. Their designs reflect a curiosity of how people engage with text, resulting in fonts that are not only visually appealing but also practical and reliable across different contexts.
