Borys Kosmynka
Typeface designer, based in Warsaw.
I design and produce typefaces – custom commissions, brand faces, and the technical work that makes them behave correctly in use. Most of what I do sits between drawing letters and engineering the systems that hold them together.
Work with me
Custom typefaces. Brand and display typefaces, from brief through to production-ready fonts.
Type production and engineering. Variable fonts, OpenType implementation, glyph expansion, and font QA – including production work on other designers' drawings.
Typographic consulting. Type selection, pairing, and typographic systems for teams that need to get it right once.

Selected work
Tropical Groove –
Built around a repeatable structural idea rather than isolated decorative gestures, it turned a logotype into a complete typographic language the brand can speak in consistently.
Memoria –
Five weights and italics across Latin and Ukrainian-first Cyrillic, built on asymmetric serifs that carry display character without costing the family its text performance. Bronze Sword for typography, KTR 2024.
