About Kharkiv Constructivism (Derzhprom)
Kharkiv Constructivism is the visual language of Ukraine's interwar avant-garde — the bridged concrete megastructure of the Derzhprom building and the agitprop graphics of Vasyl Yermilov and VUFKU film posters. It is built on the constructivist "sacral triad" of white, black, and red, set against raw board-marked concrete rather than printed paper.
This system distills that monumental energy into a dark, structural interface: slab all-caps Cyrillic display, diagonal photomontage rhythm, red-and-black typographic bars, and the texture of poured concrete as ground.
