BC Vajgar
BC Vajgar is a revival of Oldřích Menhart's only poster typeface, created in 1961 and commissioned by the Stráž printing house in České Budějovice. The original was designed as a model for engraving into linoleum. The first Vajgar model contained majuscule glyphs with numerals and essential characters. In 2022, Briefcase Type Foundry released BC Vajgar as part of their Heritage of Oldřích Menhart project, adding lowercase letterforms and making this striking blackletter design available for contemporary use.
