This is a project introducing the Cyrillic script through the universal language of food and food culture. In the 9th century, Bulgaria was the first country to officially adopt Cyrillic as their official script. Today the Cyrillic script is used not only in Bulgaria but in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Mongolia, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan and Ukraine. The concept of this project exists in two portions. The first is in the concept of a portable kitchen that will introduce the Cyrillic script through the serving and ordering of Bulgarian food. The second concept will exist in typography. The actual kitchen itself will form Cyrillic letterforms and the menu design and the ordering and discussion of food will all be set in Cyrillic as well. Visitors can partake in a very typographic experience where language and food will intermix and intermingle. The Cyrillic typefaces for this project are graciously supported by the type foundry Typotheque from the Netherlands.
