About
Aichel takes its name from Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel, the Czech Baroque architect, and was drawn in 1999 for an inscription on one of his buildings. Its lower case has a playful, almost childlike energy against the gravity of the capitals, which is why Storm points it at headings and invitations rather than long paragraphs.
