The making of the type design for Troparyovo Moscow Metro station

Drawing sketches.

The third one can be developed, the rest are poor.

The art director asks to add ornaments and dots above the Ё.

By adding stencil-like elements and decorations we achieve the feeling of a consistent ornament.

Trying the result on the station wall.

Now we need to create the text “Moscow Metro, Troparyovo station” for station entrance.

Drawing.

The lines look too light near the station name, the layout is quite poor, too.

Making the letters bolder, arranging the text in four lines.
