Gradec is a typeface exclusively designed as part of the winning logotype and visual identity of the University of Hradec Králové design (created together with Michal Kukačka). The letter shapes directly follow the construction of the university mark—most of the visible angles in the typeface are exactly 20 degrees from the horizontal or vertical line. That is also how parentheses endings in the university mark are cut. This small but systematic detail helps build a comprehensive and unified visual identity of the University of Hradec Králové.
