Font magazine issue no. 200 is out — that’s CC in Roman numerals. So for the cover, we had a little fun and turned those two C’s into… céčka!
And the very first article inside is a profile interview with us. So grab your ‘céčka’ while you can!

Three years of war, of innocent lives lost, of occupation in eastern Ukraine (nine in Crimea). But also three years of heroic Ukrainian resistance, defending all of Europe from Putin’s imperialism. Let’s not forget—support Ukraine! Слава Україні!

In collaboration with Mjölk architects, we created a new visual identity for the Botanical Garden Liberec. Inspired by ‘Trails of Growth,’ it features an organic twist evoking the movement of growing plants. The identity won a public competition organized by Czechdesign.

One of the great perks of living in Liberec is the chance to go cross-country skiing in the Jizera Mountains in the morning before work. ❄️ And because Liberec is in Europe, you can get there in just 30 minutes by comfortable public bus for a little over 1 Euro. 🇪🇺

Changes are inevitable. Thankfully!
Let’s make the year ahead all about positive ones.
(And yes, it’s a tiny hint that some great changes may be happening here in 2025 😁)

Due to the substantial volume of other work, I haven’t had much time to continue developing my type designs lately. And honestly, some of the recent geopolitical events—and the outlook they suggest—have drained a fair amount of the creative energy.

At the ongoing ‘Identity’ exhibition at the Kampa Museum in Prague, you’ll find a selection of bespoke typefaces by Czech type designers—three of which are ours, and we’re thrilled to see them featured! So, it’s the perfect chance to show them here as well.

Seems I totally forgot to post the result of my ‘Grrrrravel project’—custom paintjob (and lettering) for my beloved original n bike (i.e. the first in n+1 formula for ideal number of bikes, where n is current number of bikes). So here it is! #cube #cross #gravel #custom #paint

Another preview of our upcoming geometric sans, Bezirk. This time in a bit unusual colours (’cause we need to somehow balance the greyish autumn there). It still needs some care before we can release it for public, but if you would like to use Bezirk now, just let us know :)

I was going to take a picture of my (old) gravel bike (new) paintwork today, but the weather is not really cooperating—so for now, at least a peek of another letter!

Sneak peek of a personal project: my (J.) gravel bike deserved a new paint after almost 10 yrs of intensive use, and what kind of type designer would I be if Glyphs app didn’t come into play 😇 More peeks (and photos of the bike) coming soon! 🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️

Oh the feeling of starting new typefaces!

Za dnů visí na větvích lesů mlha; není hustá, dává jen lesům větší tajemnost a hloubku. Vichry zametají nízko nad krajem. Hukot a praskot, všechno zbytečné se navrací k zemi.“

„Listopad má veliké kouzlo a nejvíc patří k Jizerským horám. Po lesích mohu tehdy volat, a nedovolám se. Liduprázdno. Ze země prýští vlhkost, mechy jsou vodnatné a smrkové haluze, větrem a stářím na zem sražené, jsou černé a slizké. (1/3)
