Long Way Home (Доўгая дарога дамоў) is an art book and collection of essays centred around the work of Belarusian artist Masha Maroz. With sections in Belarusian and English (as well as French for the introduction), the publication forms both an archive and a personal reflection on Belarusian Palessie, which Maroz has explored in her work for the past decade.
Both the front and back covers are an artwork by Maroz, Shall the Sun Shine Once Through Our Window, with the title in three languages wrapping around the spine.
The body text of the book uses Roboto, with titles set in an early version of MD Thermochrome by Mass-Driver. The latter doesn’t (yet) include native support for Cyrillic, so several characters were created ad hoc by designer Ihar Yukhnevich, reusing components from the typeface and manually placing them on the same grid.
