Slavoboj Tusar

Czech type designer, 1883-1950. MyFonts writes: Slavoboj Tusar was the brother of Czech prime minister in the 1920s and 30s. His typeface [note: Tusar Antiqua] was introduced at the Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1925, revised and manufactured by Lanston-Monotype in 1926 and redesigned and digitized in 2004 [note: by Frantisek Storm, as Tusar Text, Tusar Book, Tusar Deco]. Tusar's advertising and typographic activities and writings are unique inspiring sources for today's young designers. Tusar Antiqua was originally cast by Prumyslova Tiskaran in Prgaue. The Monotype version, a year later, was slightly different.
