Briefcase Type Foundry is an independent type foundry based in Prague, founded in 2012 by Tomáš Brousil and Radek Sidun, with Petra Dočekalová joining as a partner in 2013. It publishes original Czech typefaces by a wide circle of authors, from young designers releasing their first fonts to established typographers whose earlier designs had never been published.
Alongside its growing library, the foundry digitises historic Czech type and champions the country’s typographic heritage through award-winning books such as TYPO9010, Jaroslav Benda 1882–1970 and the Manual of Diacritics. Its work has been recognised by the Type Directors Club, the European Design Awards and Communication Arts, and its team lectures at type festivals around the world.
