A revival of Vojtěch Preissig's 1912 Antikva, with newly designed italics that never existed in the original.
About
Preissig Antikva preserves the shape nuances of Vojtěch Preissig's original drawings, a design he worked on from 1912 onward. Storm is upfront that the italics are an exception: since Preissig never drew any, these are entirely new. A separate Text cut adjusts the design for smaller reading sizes.
Classification
A revival of painter and graphic artist Vojtěch Preissig's Antikva design, begun in 1912; the roman preserves his original drawings closely, while the italics are newly designed since none existed originally.
