Information
Parlament is Oldřich Menhart’s ceremonial typeface, based on models from early Renaissance humanist manuscripts. It feels calligraphed, with a soft, flexible pen with a straight nib. The distinctive breaking of rounded strokes and the bending of straight stems is particularly eye-catching in the details. In text sizes it stands out for its picturesqueness, good readability and its delicate, semi-cursive temperament. Parlament represents the pinnacle of Menhart’s calligraphic skills, and his virtuosity in converting handwritten morphology into type.
