ABOUT

Filip Tofil

Polish designer of the free font Makkabi (2020), as part of the Afiszuj Sie project. Makkabi is an interwar typeface that was used in two Warsaw printing houses (W. Spiegelstein and the Rekord printing house). The original wood type character set consisted of only upper case letters and was so limited that some letters in the composition had to be replaced with letters from other typefaces. Originally, the typeface was used in sports posters encouraging participation in football matches of the Makabi club---the Jewish Gymnastic and Sports Association. This typeface is known from the covers of books by Szczepan Twardoch ("Krol", "Kingdom"), designed by Rafal Kucharczuk.
