Cupio, patres conscripti, me scelere parricidioque iunxerunt, proficiscere ad impium civitate tanti facinoriis inmanitas aut extitisse aut non vindicata esse dico aperte, consules desumus. Decrevit quondam senatius, ut cogitas, quod non ego non modo audiam, sed etiam videam nocturna duo equites Romani Ciceronem consulem illa extinguetur atque delebitur non modo haec tam adultia rei publicae pridem ista tua cupiditas effrenata ac furiosa rapiebat; neque in re publica, relevatus istius poenia vehementius reliquis vivis
Sztos (2018-2022) is a remix of one of the most famous grotesques used in Poland – Baccarat (published by Jan Idźkowski i S-ka in 1922). My version loosely refers to the original. On the one hand, I wanted to modernize the drawing and proportions, on the other hand, I did’t want to lose the historical flavour and details in which you can still feel traditional printing. In addition to the fairly wide version of the normal style, there is also a narrow version. Thanks to this contrast, Sztos gives the possibility of expressive combinations of different styles. The whole family consists of 10 weights, two widths and an additional slant version.
