Important announcement: Discontinuation of GMK Perestroika
With this post, I hope to explain my decision to discontinue GMK Perestroika, and why it will never run again.
Perestroika, the backbone idea behind the set, initially aimed to celebrate reform and openness by combining English and Cyrillic characters. I hoped its symbolism would empower its users with the possibility of progression and unleash new veins of thought.
However, current political turmoil and conflicts involving Russia leave no room for the message I intended for GMK Perestroika. The devastating war in Ukraine could not take us further away from these sentiments and I believe, in these desperate times, its running is insensitive and could be hurtful to many.
I want to respect our community, and my actions must align with our values. This is why, GMK Perestroika will be discontinued completely.
As part of this decision, I will not allow others to run the set using my design. It will always connect to its origin and original designer.
I also want to apologise first for any upset its running may have caused, and secondly for any disappointment in its discontinuation. I ask for your understanding of this decision. Your support throughout this journey has been invaluable, and I'm grateful for all of it.
Thank you.
