Manual Grotesk A

About

The classic Slovak street plate typeface.

Manual Grotesk A typeface is, almost without any divergences, based on the Richard Pípal’s original model for manually constructed typeface from the mid-20th century.

This iconic typeface, practically omnipresent during the socialist era, remains in declining usage today – on Slovak street signage plates. Therefore, its digitization is an effort to preserve it as well as an attempt to re-introduce it in a new context.
