RP Digital Type Foundry [Radim Pesko] RP is a small scale digital type-foundry established in 2009 by Czech designer Radim Pesko, who currently lives in London, and before that, Amsterdam. He is a regular contributor to various publications including Dot Dot Dot magazine.

A sans workhorse family. A-Gothic (2020). Boymans was originally designed in 2003 as part of the identity developed by Mevis & Van Deursen for Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Its primary inspiration was the typeface designed by Lance Wyman for the Olympic Games in Mexico City in 1968. Boymans responded to the identity's need for a flexible as well as playful design. Designed in ten weights, each font has three versions: single line, double line, and triple line. By combining, layering, or coloring these versions, Boymans can generate an endless number of variations. Correspondance: a reconstruction from memory of the typeface created by Adrian Frutiger for the Parisian Metro signage system. Its shapes might resemble those of Frutiger's famous typeface Univers. Dear Sir / Madam. Based on Eric Gill's signs and lettering for W.H.Smith (1903-1907). F Grotesk, in 3 weights. Fugue (2010, 2 weights): Fugue was originally designed for Wonder Years, a book published in late 2008 by Roma Publications to mark the tenth anniversary of the Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem. It contains genetic material of Paul Renner. Girott (2011-2016). A condensed sans. Larish Alte (2006) was originally designed for the identity of the contemporary art space Secession in Vienna. Its primary inspiration was a series of prints designed by Rudolf von Larisch and published at the turn of 20th century.

Septima, a typewriter or monoline face, has asymmetrical letter forms that are individually adjusted---according to the space they occupy in a glyph window---in order to achieve equal tone of letter as well as to create highly recognizable forms for each character. Septima is a monospaced font available in a single weight supporting twenty-three Latin and five Cyrillic languages. Septima Cyrillic was developed in collaboration with Roman Gornitsky. Sol (2004). This 3d typeface was created as a continuation of Sol LeWitt's 1974 project entitled "122 variations on incomplete open cubes" which consisted of 122 views of unfinished cubes constructed from wooden planks.
