Josef Týfa (5 December 1913 – 19 January 2007) was a Czech type designer. He significantly contributed to the cultivation of corporate style and the development of book design and advertising in the 1950s and 60s.〔(Association Typographique Internationale : Main Program – Life and work of Josef Týfa )〕〔 Typefaces he designed include: Kolektiv, Tyfa, Juvenis, Amos and Academia, many of which he digitized with František Štorm, founder of Storm Type Foundry. He has indicated that his influences include Jaroslav Benda, Pier Luigi Nervi, and modern graphic design and architecture including functionalism.〔(Storm Type Foundry – Josef Týfa )〕〔(Linotype – Download ITC Tyfa™ )〕〔

He was born in Běloves, Náchod, Bohemia in December, 1913.〔(Josef Týfa ) – (Náchodské.info ) 〕〔(Zemřel grafik Josef Týfa ) – (Novinky.cz ) 〕 He studied graphics at the Rotter School in Prague and later became art director of the Centrotex export company.〔(Josef Týfa – Linotype Font Designer Gallery )〕 In the 50s and early 60s he designed advertisements for companies such as Pilsner Urquell Brewery, Bata Shoes and the department store Brouk and Babka.〔(Josef Týfa se zapsal i do pověstné knihovny Adobe ) – (Strategie.cz ) 〕〔(A Brief Portrait of Czech and Slovak Stampmakers ) 〕〔(On Snot and Fonts – Josef Týfa, written by Luc Devroye )〕 Later in the 60s he began to focus more on type design and won several contests announced by state type foundry Grafotechna.
