Refined display serif with open apertures and even contrast
Dyrenko
Dyrenko is a refined display serif in which the apertures stay open, the contrast is moderate and the curves flatten into wide shoulders, so a single word reads as the masthead of a considered magazine.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Dyrenko.
The D closes a wide bowl on a narrow stem, the y drops a straight tail with a light foot, the r keeps an open arm, the e turns a level eye, the n holds two even shoulders and the o remains almost circular, all at a moderate contrast with fine bracketed serifs and generous spacing. The openness is the character: nothing is flourished and the counters stay wide, so the face reads cleanly at 30 pt on a screen and holds a full-page head without decoration. It sets well in mixed case and pairs with a plain sans for captions. The pale grey ground, the small letterspaced line above and the credit beneath are presentation; the dark serif word is the face.

Masthead for a design quarterly
The open apertures keep a masthead readable at any size, and the moderate contrast prints evenly on uncoated stock at 100 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the masthead at 100 pt across the upper half, keep 25 mm of margin at each side, and set the issue line in an 8 pt caps sans 24 mm beneath the baseline.
Pre-production check
A moderate-contrast serif at 100 pt on uncoated stock can fill its fine serifs; check the proof and keep the sheet smooth if the word looks heavy.
Wordmark for an architecture studio
The calm even strokes suit a professional mark, and the open fit keeps a two-word architecture studio name on one line at 24 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an 85 by 55 mm card: set the studio name at 24 pt on the upper line, set the address block in a 6 pt sans at the foot, and keep 10 mm of white under the name so the serifs have room.
Pre-production check
A serif set straight above small sans type looks crowded; check the card and open the gap rather than reducing the name.
Order of service for a small wedding
The refined serif suits a civil ceremony, and the open counters keep a long pair of names legible at 26 pt on a folded sheet.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A5 sheet: set both names at 26 pt on the centre line, set the readings in a 10 pt serif beneath, and keep 18 mm of margin so the wide bowls sit well inside the fold.
Pre-production check
A wide bowl printed across a fold cracks; check the folded sheet and move the name block down to clear the crease.
