作为一款热情、质朴且充满活力的字体，ITC Oldrichium字体家族是在向捷克设计师Oldrich Menhart的书法和字体设计表示敬意。 “十年前，我偶然发现了Menhart的一款字体。” ，ITC Oldrichium的设计师George Thompson说，“从那以后，我一直在收集他的作品。”Thompson出生于芝加哥，在印第安纳州西北部长大。他说：“我从事教育工作和平面设计师已有30多年了，刻字和字体设计一直是我工作的一个重要部分。”汤普森现在将大部分时间都花在设计字体上。ITC Oldrichium巧妙地融合了Menhart的Manuscript字体形状和比例以及Thompson自己的设计技巧。结果就是一个独特的功能强大且用途广泛的字体家族。

ITC Oldrichium提供Light、Regular、Demi Bold和Bold字重，并为除了粗体之外的所有字重提供相应的斜体，它可以轻松的设置文本和显示正本。除了基本字重，Thompson还为需要特别强调声明的时刻创作了一个Engraved版本。

Spirited, unaffected and buoyant, the ITC Oldrichium type family pays homage to the calligraphy and typeface designs of Czech designer Oldrich Menhart. “I came upon one of Menhart's typefaces over a decade ago,” says George Thompson, designer of ITC Oldrichium. “I've been collecting examples of his work ever since.” Thompson was born in Chicago and grew up in north-west Indiana. “While I've been an educator and general graphic designer for over 30 years, lettering and type design have always been an important part of my work,” he says. Thompson now spends much of his free time designing typefaces. ITC Oldrichium is a subtle melding of the shapes and proportions of Menhart's Manuscript typeface, the energetic strokes of his calligraphy, and Thompson's own design skills. The result is a distinctive, powerful, and exceptionally versatile typeface family. Available in light, regular, demi bold and bold weights, with corresponding italics for all but the bold, ITC Oldrichium is comfortable setting both text and display copy. In addition to the basic weights, Thompson has created an Engraved version for those times when an especially powerful statement is called for.
