Stanislav Marso Designer (1910-1976) at Grafotechna of Vega (1956, a grotesk), Public (1955-1958, a heavy short-ascendered face), Grafotechna Garamond (1959), Prazke Kamene (1958, an elongated condensed sans; also spelled Prazske Kamenne; some mention the date 1956; revived by Patrick Griffin at Canada Type in 2005 as Trump Gothic, and as a rounded version in Trump Soft Pro in 2013), Orion (1960, a sans), and Marso Grotesque (or Marsova Grotesque, or Marsuv Grotesk, 1958-1960; revived by Steve Matteson in 1960 at Ascener as Miramonte). Public was quite popular in Czech newspapers, books and magazines. There are two digital revivals. The first one, from 2002, is called RePublic and was created by Tomas Brousil. The second one is called Publikum, and was published by Jakub Caja in 2013. Vegan (2014, Vojtech Riha) is a modern, structured sans featuring delicate, humanist elements, inspired by Marso's Vega.
