Bona Nova is a collective revival project of Bona typeface designed in 1971 by the author of polish banknotes Andrzej Heidrich.

Besides giving the project a digital font form the aim was to expand the base character set: preparation of small caps, designing the alternative glyphs and multiple opentype features.

Working together with the author we designed two new text versions: regular and bold to give the family a form of a classic script triad.

It is accompanied by three title versions and three contour styles under the name of Bona Sforza.

All styles contains over 1200 glyphs. More Bona Nova is an unprecedented typographic adventure for our team. We hope that our work will allow the cultural heritage of Bona and the work of Andrzeja Heidricha to gain new followers and fans.

This project connected three generations of graphic designers who graduated the same school the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.

Bona Nova isnt only a typeface. We have also prepared a book about the project (including an interview with Andrzej Heidrich, my text about the digitalisation and a font specimen).

The Bona Nova release party was a big exhibition (over 1000 guests). Ive invited 26 graphic designers to prepare their own initials of Bona Nova they were presented as posters on exhibition too.

The inspiration source for MFC Stencil Borders Three are stencil patterns from the circa early 1900s Blue Label Brand Stencil booklet.

The original designs were produced as single color stencils designs, mostly as trims (without corners to complete them as borders).

We've not only added corners to make them fully functional borders, but we've also created two-color layerable chromatic styles, for more fun and diversity.

For the first time, this decorative border collection is available digitally. More You can start with a new document or work on a new layer within an existing document.

Select MFC Stencil Borders Three from the font menu. (Some users may have font previewing enabled in the font menu which will cause the font name to appear as border elements, disable this option in order to choose the name) Make certain that the point size of the font is the same as the leading being applied to the font so the borders will meet up properly.

While weve adjusted this within the font, your program may override these settings.

For instance a 12 point font should have 12 points of leading. A PDF guidebook for MFC Stencil Borders Three is available via the Gallery Tab.
