Three fonts for spooky season

In 1996, three student letterers went into the forest looking for the mysterious fonts used to letter Spawn: Blood & Shadows.

They never returned. A year later, their fonts were found.

The woodcuts of Czech artist Vojtech Preissig inspired Czeska. The spirit of the handmade strokes is reflected in the alphabet, where imperfection is a virtue, providing the vigour and graphic power of the unique and unrepeatable.

Each stem and contour reveals a vivid wood texture. This vitality creates a rhythm that, while unconventional, maintains legibility.

Artigo Display came about as an exploration of the Artigo text typeface. Artigo Display reimagines the beauty of handwriting shapes in a display version of the italic.

It is an expressive and retro style. It has five weights that bring flexibility to this display family.
