  1. Letterpress version and type specimen of Bona Mateusz Machalski started the project in 2011, when he was in his second year at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. The font had only existed in metal type and it was available in the typesetting room of the academy. When Machalski became interested in the font, his professor arranged a meeting with its designer Heidrich. “I was surprised that he did not laugh at my projects. It made me more confident and I told him about my idea. He reacted with real enthusiasm” Machalski remembers. Digitization started quickly after that meeting, but the work remained unfinished for a few years. In 2016, together with Leszek Bielski, the project was revived again. More meetings with Heidrich took place and an extended type family (regular, italic, bold) was planned. Bona was Heidrich’s only full type design. But as graphic designer in those days, lettering for book jackets for example was a typical job. But there was little choice for body copy texts. “We always worked with 12 pt Times or Garamond—to the point of boredom. Each book looked the same inside. There was a deep need for new typefaces. For each cover or other design the lettering was custom made. It had to be drawn or painted, as there was not enough time to create and cast new letters.” Original sketches and matrices Heidrich worked on Bona as a side project—for the “pure pleasure” of it as he remembers. There was no specific brief or job for the design. The typeface was cast and a full set ended up in the typesetting studio of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where it was used occasionally. For the digitization Heidrich provided all the original sketches of the italic and the matrices could be inspected as well. But there were still so many design decisions to be made for the digital version. “With Bona Nova, the most interesting things happened during the design work. I published images and details about the progress on the internet and the Bona Nova fanpage became a stage for a typographic debate on many levels” says Machalski. Among other details, the design for the Capital Sharp s was heavily discussed on Facebook And of course a roman design had to be developed from the italic, which is rather unusual. Letters on stamps and banknotes by Heidrich helped to work out certain characteristics. The final designs got an extended Latin character set with over 1000 glyphs, including small caps, lots of ligatures, multiple figure sets and ornaments. But the family still continued to grow. Three inline versions were added and three title versions with a very high contrast. These are available as commercials offers. And there might be more in the future. “There are some plans—perhaps Cyrillic? Maybe a sans serif version … Only time will tell.” Specimen images from Bona Nova The free styles of Bona Nova The commercial styles of Bona Nova The free and the commercial styles are available on the Capitalics website.

  2. Hello, I'm looking for fonts from german newspaper from 1938. I'm working on a project named "Culture aspects of communication design". I want to make a newspaper with present polish news and put it into german layout from '38. After all I'll make a research to know what feelings are caused by this culture experiment. I have already posted it in the german version of this siie and one of the users (Wrzlprmft) suggested that one of them is "Mainzer Fraktur" and he is right (IMO) but some glyphs are different. He also suggested Unifraktur (this one have even polish diacritics) and it'a great too! I have also identify "minion" and "akzidenz grotesk" (photo "2"), but I am still looking for texture font with alternate glyph for letter "A" like in the headline from the photo "1". The rest of the fonts are not really important for me (they are stylized as the handrawn so I can simulate them by myself). I just want to be sure that I will use proper fonts in my work :) It's important to take care of the details. As one of my lecturer says "Details make the project!" :) Thank you all for your help! Best regards, Mateusz
