Petra-D Type Foundry [Petra Docekalova] Type foundry in Prague, Czechia, est. by Petra Docekalova, b. 1991, Ostrava, Czechia. Petra studied at the UMPRUM Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and is a member of editorial team of TYPO9010, a book about Czech digital typefaces created between 1990 and 2010. Her graduation project consisted of a book about Jaroslav Benda and his typefaces. In 2014, she was working as a type design intern at Suitcase and Briefcase Type Foundry, and started her own typefoundry later that year. In 2025, she contnued under the name Petra-D Type Foundry. Petra studies at the Type Design and Typography studio of the Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague and intends to write a PhD thesis about New Script Forms. Her first commercial typeface, Monolina (2014), is a contemporary monolinear script that is based on the contrast between classical (beautiful) calligraphy and quickly jotted manuscript (sketches). As all styles are based on the single stroke of a round nib pen, the letter is rounded. At Petra-D Type Foundry in 2025, she started with seven script / signage fonts---PD Americano, PD Donut, PD Everyday, PD Kakabus, PD Monolina (updated), PD Monolina Brush, and PD Writer---as well as six custom fonts. Petra received the TDC Award of excellence 2017 for her diploma project dealing with Czechoslovak calligraphy and new hand lettering forms. Speaker at ATypI 2019 in Tokyo.
