The Czech designer Frantisek Storm (born 1966 in Prague) created the fonts ITC Biblon™ (2000), ITC Malstock™ (1996) and ITC Tyfa™ (1998, with Josef Tyfa).
The idea for ITC Malstock is based on a sign painting technique that uses a flat brush and a Maalstok, a long bar with soft padding which is used as a rest for the painter's hand and a guide for vertical lines.

ITC Týfa is a joint effort of Frantisek Storm and Josef Týfa. The original metal face of Czech artist and designer Tyýa was inspired by the work of architect P.L. Nervi. "In the past, type design was primarily based on the esthetic values of the faces. Mine were inspired by the forms of modern architecture," says Týfa. Storm began digitizing the typeface under Týfa's direction and feels the design shows "a little touch of baroque typography." While it is possible to see the influences of older Czech designers, ITC Týfa is a unique typeface with a distinctive character all its own.
