In this article the form-forming principles in the font compositions V. Yurchyshyn are analyzed. Investigated elements that perform a unifying function in the design of font graphs. The characteristic manner of Yurchishin’s inscriptions is shown, which demonstrates the ability to subordinate screensavers, colonoscopes, visualization and illustrations to a single plan. The specificity of the artist’s work is to reasonably combine his own stylistics, attitude and accessibility, and the clarity of the text for the reader. Rhythmic system of inscriptions it is complex and multifaceted. The design of the artist’s font is the result of a personal rethinking of the handwritten Ustav and HalfUstav, first prints and cursive. Armed with art taste and, we can say, the genetic senses of national aesthetics, Yurchyshyn synthesizes modern Peter the great’s alphabet with historical handwriting, integrating old rusian letters into it. By creating font compositions for covers, titles and rubrics, the artist always performed a single stroke of the pen, without specifying or correcting the inscription for the original print. This achieves a sense of the presence of the artist’s hand, which gives expression and emotionality, reveals the nature of the publication. This way of creating a typographic design of the book allows you to organically combine the features of the Ustav and cursive in the whole composition in it and organically enter the text in refined weave ornamental lines. The manner of writing and layout of fonts V. Yurchyshyn is recognizable and brilliantly personal due to author innovations and constant techniques. These include changes in the writing of individual letters, combining modern classical graphs with historical elements and their own handwriting features. Compositional schemes have inherent tension and expression, as well as rhythmic, borrowed from artifacts of folk art. Creative techniques V. Yurchyshyn is a precedent in Ukrainian font design and is extremely important for the further development of the font.
