Loos in use: After Russia

A typeface born out of a book cover now appears on an album cover

April 30, 2024


After Russia is an album of songs based on the poems of the so-called unnoticed generation, writers and poets who began writing in exile but never found their audience back home. The record was released in 2023 and marks the 100th anniversary of the first wave of Russian emigration.

The album cover and its website use Loos by CSTM Fonts reimagined by Tuman design studio, serif Nib by Colophon Foundry, and a slightly wild display font Nieuk by Le Laïc.

Born out of lettering on Adolf Loos’ book cover, Loos, is a closed-aperture sans serif with a style palette ranging from Compressed to Extended, from Thin to Black.

Beyond Latin and Cyrillic, Loos supports Georgian script. The font license comes in four options: Latin + Cyrollic, Latin + Georgian, just Georgian set, or three scripts all at once. The Georgian extension has been advised by Alexander Sukiasov and Lasha Giorgadze.
