Suitcase Type Foundry

Suitcase Type Foundry is an independent type foundry, founded by Tomas Brousil in 2003 in Prague, Czech Republic. We are specialised in the design and digitisation of quality fonts for professional use.

Most of all, Idealista relishes juicy magazine titles, typographic logotypes and propagandist posters. Yet it works equally well in places where you need to stick a label onto that gardening tool, computer box, or spaceship. Unlike cold, technicist typefaces, it has great zest for life, so there's no wonder that in each of the letters, intuition wins over intellect. Owing to this, the text set in Idealista has a special, voluptuous quality and unmistakable temperament - in a single typeface, Idealista combines the best of sans-serif, blackletter, as well as geometric and calligraphic construction principles, coming down to one impressive, expressive cocktail.

Metalista is a blackletter typeface with monolinear proportions and combines upper and lower case letterforms. The strengthened horizontal strokes are aimed at softening of the "gothic" feel of the face, and add to its contemporary character.	Gloriola is a monolinear sans serif, whose extremely broad range of nine cuts offers endless creative possibilities. Gloriola Std cuts with corresponding italics are suited for the needs of common typesetting.

Sidecar font was designed for the performance "You're just the Side-car" which uses the typography as part of the stage design. It is a narrowed version of our font Orgovan Brush. Sidecar font and other Orgovan's weights are used in print materials as well.	Face to Face exhibition catalogue Design: Robert V. Novak Font: Katarine Std & Experts
