Hic Sunt Leones! Recreating Ubi Leones identity was something completely new and different for. For the first time we invited other designers to collaborate. We had a great pleasure to work with world renowned illustrator Marcello Crescenzi and a rising star of modern typography, Borys Kosmynka, PhD. We’re proud to present our first collab in which alchemy of medieval and reneissance cartography meets ultimate vector precision.

Typoteka.pl is an index of typefaces created by authors associated with Poland. Various authors (type designers, artists, letterers, engravers, punchcutters) design forms of script (letters and signs), so that others can use these letters and signs to create inscriptions and to compose texts. Typoteka.pl focuses on forms of script created for the needs of typography: typefaces. Typefaces are letters and signs created for automated setting of texts (typesetting), and are reproduced as metal fonts, matrices, transfer media, and finally as digital fonts. We hope that others create similar indexes that catalog other, equally important, forms of script: inscriptions made in stone, lettering, calligraphy. www.typoteka.pl
