The specific thing about digitizing historical typefaces is that as much attention as creating the right curves needs to be paid to research, to finding the right original background and context. Often chance or luck plays a significant role, but it is detective work every time.

We love this graphic design experiment by @ilya___bazhanov
There are not many typefaces that look divine cut in stone. Menhart’s fonts are born for it. Explore the endless malleability of his timeless fonts.

Antiquarian book shopping has its charm in the occasional subtle surprises. Such as this 75-year-old New Year's card by Oldřich Menhart, set in Manuscript Romana. Labore & Constantia - Hard work and constancy. A successful new year to you all.

Lettering “Karlův Most” [Charles Bridge] shows Menhart’s typical design of Uring. The ring accent is connected to a stem, and its stroke is usually open.
