Contrast Foundry Farm Specimen

The image of a big, brutal and clumsy bear must be one of the most overused ones (and not always in a flattering context) by Westerners when it comes to describing Russia. And even though the postulate of &ldquo;Russian streets full of bears&rdquo; is factually inaccurate, this animal symbol itself historically plays a significant role in our national identity: it was used in cartoons, articles and dramatic plays since as early as the 16th century.&nbsp;

We like to defy the stereotypes by turning them upside down. We have our own very serious, golden and not at all clumsy bear, who doesn&rsquo;t roam through the streets in ushanka-hat&sup1;, but instead follows into famous Russian cosmonaut Yury Gagarin&rsquo;s footsteps and aims for the stars. To prepare him for a safe space launch was a team of experienced CoFo&rsquo;s scientists and trainers. And of course, we couldn&rsquo;t send him to space without a message, written in Chimera Bold and William Text. Poyekhali!&sup2;

&sup1; Ushanka&mdash;Russian fur cap with ear flaps&nbsp;

&sup2; Поехали! [poyekhali]&mdash;rus. for &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s go!&rdquo;. A legendary catchphrase that was said by Yuri Gagarin at the launch of Vostok 1 spacecraft on April 12, 1961 and later became the symbol of the Space Age.&nbsp;
