The first movable typefaces – invented in Germany in the mid-1400s –‑ were inspired by the “Gothic” handwriting used by German monastic scribes at the time. An example of one such font is Textura, which Gutenberg used to print his Bible in 1455. In 1470, a new font appeared in Venice: Jenson. Named after its creator, Nicolas Jenson, this typeface was closer in form to the handwriting of Italian scribes. Until the start of the 1800s, all typefaces had pointed, curved or rounded end strokes. They were all serifed. Over the years, serifs have evolved, first becoming more geometric (Baskerville, Bodoni, Didot), then finer and more squared with slab serifs (also known as Egyptian). Egyptian typefaces first came to prominence in 1815 with Figgins Antique, while the first typeface with clean, unadorned stroke ends appeared in the 1816 catalogue for the William Caslon type foundry, listed as Two Lines English Egyptian.

Switzerland’s national flag was adopted on December 12, 1889, which is one of the world’s oldest flags. The Flag of Switzerland is a red field, a white cross whose arms are one-sixth longer than their width. The relationship between the span of the cross and the width of the flag has not been established, but in practice the ratio is about 2:3 or 7:10. The Swiss cross on a red field ultimately derives from a similar banner of the Holy Roman Empire, and thus has strong Christian connotations. The Swiss flag traditionally stands for freedom, honour and fidelity. The motto "Honor et Fidelitas" was inscribed on the cross of several Swiss mercenary flags of the 18th century. In modern times, through association with consistent Swiss policy, the flag has also come to mean neutrality, democracy, peace and refuge.

State, political organization of society, or the body politic, or, more narrowly, the institutions of government. The state is a form of human association distinguished from other social groups by its purpose, the establishment of order and security; its methods, the laws and their enforcement; its territory, the area of jurisdiction or geographic boundaries; and finally by its sovereignty.

Conclusion
The history of fairy tales in Slovakia is rich and deeply intertwined with the country's folklore and cultural traditions. Slovak fairy tales, like those of many other cultures, have their roots in oral storytelling, passed down through generations before being documented in written form. Slovak fairy tales were primarily part of an oral tradition shared in villages and family gatherings. These stories often featured elements of mythology, magic, and moral lessons, reflecting the beliefs and values of Slovak society.
The 19th century, a period of national awakening in Slovakia, saw the beginning of the systematic collection and documentation of fairy tales. This was part of a broader effort to preserve Slovak cultural heritage. Common characters included supernatural beings such as witches (bosorky), fairies (víly), and various mythical creatures. Themes often revolved around good versus evil, cleverness versus brute strength, and the triumph of the underdog.
In the 20th century, Slovak fairy tales continued to be a vibrant part of literature. The history of fairy tales in Slovakia is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Slovak people. From their origins in oral tradition to their documentation and adaptation in modern times, these tales continue to play a vital role in Slovak cultural identity. The work of collectors like Pavol Dobšinský and Ján Francisci has ensured that these stories remain an integral part of Slovakia's literary and cultural landscape.

What does it mean to create a perfect Swiss grotesque from the perspective of a designer from a post-Soviet country? Is it a utopia? Can it work? Will the result differ from other modernist attempts to create a single, true neutral font? Is it a dream? The Gruezi font is our response and reaction. It’s the typeface of choice for any designer who appreciates the Swiss Style and its legacy. This movement emerged from the schools in Basel and Zürich in the 1950s and aimed to present information objectively. Also known as the International Typographic Style, it is characterized by sans serif type typically set flush-left, in grid-based layouts derived from the content. The RL Gruezi typeface is the contemporary equivalent of the type used by the pioneers in Switzerland and beyond. Whether you want to uphold their modernist approach, reference this aesthetic in more playful or even ironic ways, or simply seek a reliable sans serif, RL Gruezi will not disappoint. With its static construction, it demonstrates that combining the qualities of classic sans-serif craftsmanship with a new contemporaneity can be a sustainable endeavor. Never striving to be trendy, elegant, or fashionable, RL Gruezi aspires to embody characteristics such as technical precision, down-to-earth robustness, reliability, and neutrality—qualities generally associated with Switzerland.
