ABOUT

DizajnDesign [Ján Filípek]

Slovak designer who lives in Bratislava. He created the sans typefaces Deva Ideal (2007, 10 styles dedicated to the beauty of women! See also here) and Poleno Sans (2007), a great custom typeface with the broken look of Preissig's old typefaces and poster type. Poleno was originally designed in 2006 for the Slovak folk dance ensemble Poleno, as a part of their corporate identity. It has 12 styles now. Dezen (2010) is a contemporary, mechanical grotesque typeface family. It includes a Stencil subfamily. Komu (2010) is constructivist.

His graduation project at the Type and Media MA program of KABK was Preto (2009), a multilingual type family which explores the impact of serifs in legibility and readability (+Sans, +Sans Basic). He says: The three core styles that structure the family (sans, semi and serif) are particularly useful in the context of multilingual typesetting to achieve an even colour in equivalent texts written in different languages.

In 2010, he created Rukou, a script that reminds me of Sütterlin.

In 2011, he made Anca (playful rounded monoline sans).

Typefaces from 2013: Preto Serif, Razom Script (an angular monoline script).

Typefaces from 2014: Preto Semi.

Typefaces from 2015: Kontrast Grotesk (Display, Grande).

In 2016, Cesar Puertas and Jan Filipek co-designed the newspaper typeface Bagatela for La Republica.

In 2018, he published Nakoso.

In 2019, Martina Rozinajova and Jan Filipek co-designed the Slovak school writing font Skolske Pismo.
