Heneczek font was created in 2017 as a part of a project called 
Through the font to the book. Following in the footsteps of Teodor
Heneczek, the Piekarys printer, prepared by Public Library in Piekary Slaskie.
The idea to create the font was born in association with the 200th anniversary of
 the printer's birth and the 170th anniversary of his opening the first Polish printing company in Piekary.

"Heneczek" font is based on the font used in the book Matka witych Polska, albo ywoty witych,bogosawionych,
wielebnych, witobliwych, pobonych Polakw i Polek, printed in Deutsch Piekar (now Piekary Slaskie, Poland)
in 1850 by Teodor Heneczek. The project was co-financed by the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw, within the "Patriotism of Tomorrow" program.

The author of the font is Damian Langosz.
