ParaType:
Dear Adam,
Last year there was an initiative of some leading design studios of
Russia to choose one sign for rouble. Among them were ParaType,
LetterHead and Art Lebedev Studio, that is the main type design
companies in Russia. The rouble sign was chosen from about half of
thousand entries sent to the Znak Rublya contest (1999). That initiative
was supported more than half of thousand design companies and individual
designers from all Russia. Ever since ParaType is including the rouble
sign in the fonts we release, as well as Art Lebedev Studio and probably
LetterHead.
Nevertheless the legal right to choose and accept the official rouble
sign belongs to Central Bank of Russian Federation but the choice has
not been made yet.
