Pavel graduated from the TypeMedia Master Programme at KABK in the Hague in 2023 and attended the Book, illustration and printed graphics course in the National Art Academy in Sofia. He’s working in studio PUNKT while also freelancing as a type designer and planning a future foundry.

He is keen on drawing letters, especially Cyrillic, carving words in stone and experimenting with coding. He loves projects that make people feel better. His favorite color is green. When he’s not working on letters, he loves trekking, birdwatching and playing bass.
