Viktor Mizera (1997) studies in the Type Design and Typography Studio at the Academy of Arts Architecture & Design in Prague (UMPRUM) since 2017. He completed an internship at Monotype’s Berlin studio in 2019 and is collaborating with Monotype ever since. Viktor is interested in the technical aspect of the type design and is always looking for different ways to (de)construct a typeface. He has worked on a bunch of typefaces in the last years (like Qkva, Online, Gometr, Zaun).
