    For two years, Полторы комнаты (Poltory komnaty, “A Room and a Half”) where Joseph Brodsky spent 17 years of his life, has been a museum that speaks Loos, designed by CSTM Fonts. It is paired with SangBleu Republic by Swiss Typefaces – its Cyrillic character set was designed by CSTM Fonts.

    In October last year, dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov decided to donate to A Room and a Half the 17 signed books that Brodsky had been giving him on various occasions for years. In order to transform separate signatures into a clear story of 20-year friendship, curators of the exhibition accompanied the books with photos and excerpts from memoirs. As it is the case with design of the rest of A Room and a Half (their logo, booklet, webpage), graphic language of the exhibition is based upon SangBleu Republic by Swiss Typefaces and Loos by CSTM Fonts.
