Oleś Gergun is a digital designer and developer based in Kyiv and Leipzig with a background in Cultural Studies. He gained a degree of Master of Arts in Culturology at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Subsequently, he became a designer through an autodidact will, not least because of his interest in creative coding. In his practice, he applies both design and code for commercial and non-commercial clients. Being a critical mind and a dedicated practitioner, he applies his analytical and strategic approach to KTF. His type design practice is a continuation of his Kyiv Type Digest blog, an ongoing research of vernacular typography in Kyiv. His typographic debut is a contribution to our shared project KTF Jermilov.
