Yuri M. Gordon: A Book About Letters from Aa to Zz — Revised & Expanded Edition
This is the second attempt by the author to explain, to himself and to all who are interested, what the letters of the Russian alphabet are and why they look the way they do. Since the first edition, Gordon has become more experienced by three hundred typefaces — or at least sixty thousand letters made by his own hands. Over the time since the first publication, his views have changed significantly. They have become more independent — and more radical. As a result, the book has been rewritten by about two-thirds, increased in volume by one-third, and, the author hopes, has become better.
This edition offers a deeper, more personal exploration of Cyrillic letterforms, blending typographic craft with cultural insight. Whether you are a designer, a linguist, or simply curious about the shapes that carry meaning, this volume provides a unique perspective on the evolution of the Russian alphabet. Gordon’s hands-on experience with thousands of handcrafted letters infuses the text with practical wisdom and artistic passion. The revised content reflects a matured understanding, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art and history of writing.
