Polish illustrator and graphic artist, b. 1928, Warsaw. He created the beautiful cursive text typeface Bona. He also did nice lettering on some film posters, and designed bank notes, postage stamps, postcards and book covers. In 2017, Mateusz Machalski contacted him for advice on the momentous revival and extension project Bona Nova, published by and available from Capitalics and MyFonts. For starters, Machalski had to design a regular upright style to match Heidrich's italics. Bona Nova is supplemented by the extreme contrast typeface family Bona Title and the inline typeface family Bona Sforza. Participants in the project also include Leszek Bielski, Ania Wielunska and Michal Jarocinski. Interview with Andrzej Heidrich, and the story of Bona Nova (PDF format, 2017).
