Heidrich Sans
Capitalics · Mateusz Machalski
An elegant sans-serif by Mateusz Machalski, developed from research into Andrzej Heidrich's Bona typeface and the broader typographic legacy of one of Poland's foremost graphic designers.
About
Rooted in Machalski's 2017 digitisation work on Bona Nova, the family draws on original sketches by Andrzej Heidrich and archival research conducted with Leszek Bielski. The six-style family spans Regular, Bold and ExtraBold, each with a companion italic. It reads as a considered tribute to a significant figure in Polish graphic design rather than a generic revival.
Classification
Described as an elegant sans-serif inspired by sketches for the Bona typeface and the broader typographic work of Andrzej Heidrich, suggesting a humanist rather than geometric or grotesque approach.
