ABOUT

Veronika Burian

Born in Prague in 1973. She grew up in Munich, where she studied Industrial Design at the University of Applied Sciences. She worked as product and graphic designer in Vienna, Austria and Milan, Italy. She graduated with an MA degree in type design from the University of Reading. She joined Dalton Maag in London in the autumn of 2003. In Milan, she was at Die kleine Fonderie, a studio headed by Andrea Braccaloni as part of LeftLoft. In 2005, she and José Scaglione founded Type Together.

Her typeface Maiola (2003), spiced up by the prototypical Czech angular design elements, received the Type Directors Club award in 2004 (Certificate of Excellence in Type Design) (see here) and was the "Judge's Choice". FF Maiola, released in 2005, includes Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters and ligatures. For Maiola Cyrillic (2004), she received some help from Maxim Zhukov. In 2010, the Maiola family was published at Type Together. Other designs include Ronnia Sans and Gitter. She created LL Mila (2002, Leftloft: a condensed sans with a trademark "g"), which was part of the exhibition "Contemporary Type Design in Italy" during AtypI in Rome (2002). In 2005, she collaborated with Gerard Unger on the 12-weight corporate family Allianz. With José Scaglione she created the text typeface TT Carmina (2006), which can be had via MyFonts as Karmina (2007). Also with Scaglione, she did the humanist sans family Ronnia (2007, Type Together). In 2007, her slab serif family Crete was published at Cabinet Type. She won an award at Granshan 2008.

In 2015, Veronika Burian and José Scaglione finally published the 18-style editorial sans typeface family Ebony. It is unrelated to the 1890 Marder & Luse font Ebony.

In 2016, Veronika Burian and José Scaglione co-designed Portada, a sturdy serif typeface family for use on screen and small devices. It comes with an extensive free set of icons. Winner at Tipos Latinos 2018 of a type design award for Portada.

At ATypI 2004 in Prague, she spoke about Oldrich Menhart (see also this PDF file).
