Description:

Silesiana is a typeface created for Silesian local authorities, who
held all rights to this font. Silesiana will be used in all official
letters and documents.

Font was first introduced on 17 October, 2006. It was created after
research of typefaces of the past centuries collections of letters
from Silesian Library and Ksiaznica Cieszynska.

Henryk Sakwerda (Silesian master of calligraphy) and Artur Frankowski
(typographer) decided that the typeface should be made in italics and
based on traditional calligraphy. Silesian typeface refers to the
activity of Heronim Wietora, a 16th century publisher and typographer
as well as to the Silesian Currenta, a handwritten typeface derived
from Gothic.
