ABOUT

Picador [Maciej Wloczewski]

Warsaw, Poland-based type designer who studied at Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. His company is called Picador Studio. Some of his typefaces are also available from the new Polish type foundry Capitalics. Creator of the sans typeface Fela (2014). Fela was designed for books and posters for young children by employing simple handcrafted glyphs. Graphen (2014) is a handcrafted typeface family that seems destined for posters. Mato Sans is a large sans family for Latin and Cyrillic.

Kaboom (2015) is an animal dingbat font.

In 2016, he designed the high-contrast poster typeface family Artigua (with Wiktoria Galecka).

Praho Pro (2017) is a high-contrast didone-inspired typeface family for headlines that mixes wedge serifs with traditional rectangular didone terminals. Covering both Latin and Cyrillic, it is part of Warsaw Types---a project based on Warsaw's local typographic heritage. The project, presented at the Museum of Praga, is a collaboration of 12 young Polish type designers.

In 2018, he published the flared terminal typeface Picador Sans and the art deco typeface Disalina.

Typefaces from 2019: Kotto Slab, Jagerlay (a branding font, slightly retro sci-fi, yet strong and angular).
