Rodchenko Constructed ML was developed by Alekandr Rodchenko and released by HiH. Rodchenko Constructed ML includes 2 designs and household plan alternatives. p > RODCHENKO CONSTRUCTED ML and RODCHENKO GROTESK ML

One of the most innovative minds in the modern Russian avant garde, Aleksandr Rodchenko was one of the leaders of Constructivism throughout the 1920s. Herbert Spencer includes Rodchenko in his book Pioneers of Modern Typography. Rodchenko started creating posters in 1923. The Soviet Union was young and many, including Rodchenko were fired with innovative zeal and idealism. He thought that art must be practical, useful and without adornment. Many others swam in the same stream and arrived at practically the very same place: Schwitters, El Lissitzky, van Doesburg, Bayer and Tschichold working in the West; Klutsis, Levinsky, Gan, and others working in the Soviet Union. Previously, similar typefaces include Baltimore Geometric ML and Teutonia-- both digitized by HiH Retrofonts.

Rodchenko Constructed ML and Rodchenko Grotesk ML are two sans-serif typefaces with both Roman and Cyrillic alphabets. They are based on the lettering Rodchenko used on his posters throughout the 20s. In some cases the letters were squared off, as in Rodchenko Constructed ML. Other times, the outdoors corners were rounded, as in Rodchenko Grotesk ML. Both are strong and direct, meant for display screen work designed to communicate a bold, direct message.
