Warszawskie Kroje: New Urban Typefaces Exhibition at Praga Museum of Warsaw

Warsaw's unique character is explored through a collection of new typefaces created by young designers. Inspired by historical lettering from the city's neons, signs, and murals from the 1920s to the 1980s, the exhibition showcases twelve new fonts designed for Warsaw. These fonts are made freely available to the public.

The 'Warszawskie kroje' (Warsaw Typefaces) exhibition presents a non-commercial project that resulted in the creation of over a dozen new font families for Warsaw. The inspiration and foundation for these new designs were drawn from the historical lettering found in the city's modernist neon signs, hand-painted shop signs, advertisements, and murals from the People's Republic of Poland (PRL) era, as well as the disappearing traditions of urban typography from 1920–1980. The exhibition at the Praga Museum of Warsaw displayed twelve distinct fonts designed for the city, accompanied by documentation and examples of their application. These newly created fonts are made available for free under an open license on the project's website, kroje.org. The project involved young designers including Ania Wieluńska, Beata Kurek, Joanna Angulska, Ludmiła Niezgoda, Maciej Połczyński, Maciej Włoczewski, Mateusz Machalski, Rafał Buchner, Robert Jarzec, Szymon Sznajder, and Zuzanna Rogatty. They worked under the guidance of experienced type designers such as Łukasz Dziedzic, Michał Jarociński, Wiktoria Grabowska, and Adam Twardoch. The curators and coordinators of the project were Jan Franek Cieślak, Michał Jarociński, and Rene Wawrzkiewicz. The project was organized by the cultural association Miastodwa, with support from the City of Warsaw and the Praga Museum of Warsaw.
