À propos de la famille


Cluster is an industrial geometric sans shaped at the intersection of utilitarian sans-serifs from the late 19th century and the systematic approach of mid-20th-century European modernist typography. Cluster originally began as a major update to Klaster Sans, but quickly outgrew its initial scope and evolved into a distinct typeface family of its own. Cluster is built around a sense of technical functionality. A relatively wide default spacing creates a distinctive effect — the text resembles the lettering found in engineering drawings, technical diagrams, or early prototypes. This openness reinforces a feeling of clarity, precision, and rational structure. The letterforms retain a subtle sharpness that adds clarity to the silhouettes. Certain details reinterpret elements of 19th-century grotesques: the tails in a, f, and j are transformed into rigid, almost mechanical hooks. They act as restrained accents, adding character and a faint Bauhaus-like plasticity without disrupting the overall neutrality of the system. Another distinctive feature is the treatment of capitals. Compared to the lowercase, the uppercase letters are slightly condensed, creating a more compact rhythm in all-caps settings. Their proportions are loosely inspired by the lettering found on license plates and road signage, reinforcing the utilitarian tone of the design. The family consists of 36 styles and is divided into two versions: Cluster Normal and Cluster Tight, each with 9 weights and matching italics. Normal maintains a more open spacing that emphasizes the structural clarity of the text. Tight features carefully reworked compact spacing designed for large sizes — helping to avoid the optical defects that often appear when tracking is simply reduced in design software. A set of alternate characters further develops the idea of the characteristic hooks, adding more dynamism and expressiveness to the forms. A separate version, Cluster Edge, explores this idea further, making these rigid hooks the primary stylistic principle and giving the design a more expressive character.

À propos Kobuzan

Greetings from Kyiv, Ukraine! I'm Maksym Kobuzan, a passionate graphic and type designer with an unwavering love for all things typography. In 2020, I embarked on a creative journey by founding my own independent type foundry, and ever since, I've been dedicated to bringing unique and high-quality typefaces to life, catering to both Cyrillic and Latin script enthusiasts. My specialty is creating versatile fonts that excel in both aesthetics and functionality. In a testament to the dedication and commitment to my craft, I am thrilled to share that I was honored as the winner of the prestigious TDC69 award in 2023, a recognition that has further inspired me to continue pushing the boundaries of type design. Collaboration is at the heart of innovation, and I've had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed fellow type foundries such as PangramPangram, BlazeType, Velvetyne, Type01, and Tunera Type Foundry. These partnerships have allowed me to explore new horizons and continually refine my work, resulting in the creation of even more remarkable fonts. One of the aspects I'm particularly passionate about is the development of custom fonts. Whether it's for branding, editorial design, or any other creative project, I relish the challenge of crafting typefaces that are tailor-made to suit the unique needs and character of each project. I am a firm believer in the power of sharing knowledge, and I actively engage with the design community by regularly posting insights into my design process and offering free typefaces on my Instagram. This open and collaborative approach reflects my commitment to not only my craft but also the design community at large. Thank you for joining me on this typographic journey, and I look forward to continually expanding the boundaries of type design and crafting fonts that inspire and empower fellow designers across the globe.
