Milka
Milka is an 8-style stencil font family created by a team of designers born
within the span of almost 70 years. It is a digital expansion on an alphabet
designed in 1979 by the famous Bulgarian artist Milka Peikova. The basic Milka
font is a clean stencil design, while the Aged, Baked, Brittle, Crunchy, Dry and
Soft styles are inspired by stencil and letterpress techniques and expand the
usefulness by adding various degrees of warmth or roughness. The Milka
font family has extensive Latin, Cyrillic and Greek character set support
including localized forms for Russian and Bulgarian as well as numerous
OpenType features. Since 2014, Berlin-based Bulgarian type designer Botio
Nikoltchev has been working with three Bulgarian female designers (the
original designer Milka Peikova, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 96,
and with Ani Petrova and Anelia Pashova, both from a young generation), as
well as with Berlin-based Adam Twardoch and Andreas Eigendorf to create a
modern revival of Ms Peikova’s inspiring stencil alphabet. Milka Peikova (1919
– 2016) was one of Bulgaria’s most famous female artists whose work has
influenced several generations of Bulgarian designers. During her impressive
career spanning almost seven decades, she created paintings, posters, book
covers, textile designs and alphabets, both individually and together with her
husband Georgi Kovachev-Grishata (1920 – 2012). To try Milka in your project,
