Superior Type [Vojtech Riha]

Type foundry in Prague, Czechia, est. 2014 by Vojtech Riha (b. 1989), who studied at the Technical School of Ceramics in Karlovy Vary, and at the Studio of Typography of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.

His typefaces:

  • Vegan (2014): a modern, structured sans featuring delicate, humanist elements. Vegan was inspired by Stanislav Marso's distinctive shadow font Vega (1956, Grafotechna). This workhorse family has six styles and six matching italics.
  • Kunda Book (2015). This text won a bronze medal at the European Design awards.
  • The sans typeface family Hrot (2016). He writes: Grown organically from the soft aesthetics of Swiss and German airline posters, Hrot is a versatile sans-serif family with eighteen distinctive cuts. Works perfectly in elegant headlines and gives perfect impact to any logotype.
  • At Briefcase Type, he published BC Dres (partly octagonal), Kakao (hand-drawn: when drawing Kakao, he frequently referenced Bohumil Lanz and Zdenek Nemecek's book Typeface in Advertising (published by Merkur Publishing House, Prague, 1974)), BC Pramen Sans and Slab, BC Motel Sans and Slab and BC Steiner in 2014. Dres reappeared in 2019 at Superior Type.
  • In 2018, Vojtech Riha and Matyas Machat co-designed Slavia and Slavia Press + Repress. The former is a socially awkward 1910-era grotesque, and the latter two typefaces are letterpress style cousins.
  • In 2020, Riha released the geometric sans typeface family Raptor.
  • Lenora (2021). A fashion mag didone that flirts with the fatface in its heavier weights. Covering Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. John Boardley opines: A kind of RuPaul meets Bodoni in this self-assured, sassy and supremely sumptuous new family.
