ABOUT

Ales Najbrt

Czechoslovakian designer (b. 1962, Prague), who studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague from 1982 until 1988. In the early 1990s, he worked as the art director of the Reflex magazine and as editor of the Raut magazine. In 1994 he co-founded Prague-based Studio Najbrt and Lev (founded by Ales Najbrt and Pavel Lev), which affiliates prominent Czech designers. Together with his co-workers, he is the author of many brands and visual styles, film and theatre posters. Since 1995, he has co-operated with the Karlovy Vary film festival on its visual style.

The Czech Centre London states: "Studio Najbrt was founded in 1994 and is closely connected with the Prague arts scene, designing for theatres, book publishers, film makers, magazines, the National Gallery and art festivals. Ales Najbrt, himself an active artist and performer, works with Zuzana Lednicka and Pavel Lev and their work is recognized for its humour and clear typography. Studio has received many important awards for their poster and book design." His creations include the very East-European poster typeface Prazska Petka (1989, for a film poster), Jedovlym Pismem (1988, a hairy logotype done for the Sklep theater).

At Briefcase Type, he published the typeface BC Thomas Ruhller in 2014.
