Lanze

Lanze is an experimental condensed sans with Cyrillic and Latin support, co-created with Rodion Ilyukhin.

The family is built on a narrow, sharp silhouette, a weight axis, and a contrast axis. Four styles — Spear, Pike, Halberd, and Scythe — develop the same construction from a classic condensed sans toward sharper display forms.

Lanze supports basic Latin and Cyrillic and is designed for display use: posters, titles, covers, editorial layouts, web graphics, and animation where dense rhythm and sharp contrast matter.
