捷克設計師Oldrich Menhart（1897-1962）一生致力於字體創作。他是一位書法傢、刻字藝術傢及字體設計師，已經擁有二十多款字體瞭。Monotype字體Menhart是他的第二款設計。
Menhart於20世紀30年代初期開始設計，並於1934年將其最終作品交給Monotype Drawing Office。第一次裁切的尺寸是14 Didot（Didot點是傳統的歐洲字體測量系統，大致相當於當今的數字字體通用的點系統）。14D字體後面還有18D和24D，這表明該設計最適合顯示工作。然而，後來應Monotype客戶的要求，又根據相同的主設計圖切割出瞭10D。
Menhart的設計輕盈而開放，顏色均勻，帶有輕微的方形感。”由於捷克字母包含15個重音字母，因此Menhart將這些變音符號納入到他的設計中，而不是事後才想到。用Menhart設置的帶重音的正文具有其他字體所沒有的內聚性。
Monotype最新數字版本的Menhart是自鑄排版字體以來的第一次復興。Menhart Display基於原始的Monotype繪圖，是為文本大小創建的一個稍粗的、間距經過重新排列的版本。這兩個版本都提供瞭OpenType格式的全部功能，例如自動插入老式風格數字、連字以及小型大寫字母。除英語之外，擴展字符集還支持大多數中歐和許多東歐語言。
Menhart的終生目標之一是通過繪制獨特的捷克斯洛伐克文學作品字體來分享他的捷克文化的豐富性。用他的話說：“我認為一款捷克風格的字體首先來自於它的設計精神，這賦予它自己獨有的’特征’，而不是裝飾性的構圖，更不是創作的地理位置。” Menhart的字體體現瞭他的價值觀。如今，Menhart Pro和Menhart Display Pro抓住瞭這一永恒設計的獨特個性，大大擴展瞭它的使用范圍。 ”
Czech designer Oldrich Menhart (1897-1962) devoted his life to making letters. He was a calligrapher, lettering artist, and typeface designer with over twenty faces to his credit. The Monotype typeface, Menhart, was the second of his designs.
Menhart began work on the design in the early 1930s and turned over his final artwork to the Monotype Drawing Office in 1934. The first size cut was 14 Didot (Didot points are the traditional European system of type measure, and are roughly equivalent to the point system commonly used by today’s digital fonts). The 14D font was followed by 18D and 24D, indicating that the design was considered most suitable for display work. However, a 10D size was later cut from the same master drawings at the request of a Monotype customer.
Menhart’s design was light and open, with an even color and a slight squareness" to its round shapes. Because the Czech alphabet has 15 accented letters, Menhart included these diacritics as an integral part of his design, not as an afterthought. As a result, accented copy set in Menhart has a cohesive quality rarely seen in other typefaces.
Monotype’s new digital release of Menhart is the first revival since the hot metal fonts were cut. Menhart Display is based on the original Monotype drawings, while a slightly heavier, re-spaced version has been created for text sizes. Both versions offer the full capabilities of the OpenType format, such as the automatic insertion of old style figures, ligatures and small caps. In addition to English, the extended character set supports most Central European and many Eastern European languages.
One of Menhart’s lifelong goals was to share the richness of his Czech culture by drawing typefaces that uniquely served Czechoslovakia literature. In his words: "I believe that a Czech style of type comes above all from the spirit in which it was designed, which gives it its ‘signature,’ and not so much from decorative composition, and even less from the geographic location of its creation." The typeface Menhart is a tribute to his values. Now, Menhart Pro and Menhart Display Pro capture the unique personality of this timeless design while greatly extending its range of use. "
