We've just launched a new web page devoted to the art and design of
legendary Czech artist Alphonse Mucha.  It features samples of his
phenomenal art as well as several typefaces we've produced based on his
lettering, including our new Slava and Bernhardt fonts.

Mucha was born in Bohemia in 1860 and moved to Paris in 1890 where he
became the star of the poster-art movement under the patronage of the
Sarah Bernhardt. After World War I he returned to Czechoslovakia and
became the father of a slavic arts and crafts movement which combined
elements of art nouveau with classic national themes. In addition to
commercial art, jewelry design, interior decoration, sculpture and stage
design, Mucha experimented with lettering and calligraphy to produce
excellent source material for unique typefaces. Mucha's style is virtually
synonymous with French Art Nouveau and he is one of the most immitated
artists and designers of all time.

It's a visual feast.  Stop by and check it out at:
