Balgarianovinite.com An agreement to provide the Bulgarian News Agency’s (BTA) LIK typeface was signed by BTA Director General Kiril Valchev and Panagyurishte Mayor Zhelyazko Gagov on Friday.
“Today, on this memorable day, when we pay tribute to the sacrifice of the heroes who restored Bulgaria’s freedom, we are signing an agreement with Panagyurishte Mayor Zhelyazko Gagov to provide the BTA LIK typeface for use by the municipality. This is a font developed by the National Academy of Art at the request of BTA, with the idea that it should embody the spirit of our letters, just as they were created by the disciples of Saints Cyril and Methodius,” Valchev said before signing the agreement.
“We used elements from the oldest Bulgarian inscriptions in Cyrillic. At BTA, we have already begun rebranding the agency because we used all sorts of fonts on our website, in our publications, in LIK magazine, in the book on the history of BTA that we published, in our signs at the national press clubs, and the letters we wrote were a mix of different fonts,” he added.
“You are the eleventh institution to use our font. To date, BTA has provided the LIK typeface to the Sts Cyril and Methodius National Library, the Culture Ministry, the Diplomatic Institute, the State Institute for Culture under the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the National Institute of Justice, the University of National and World Economy, Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, the Executive Agency for the Promotion of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, and the Philip Koutev State Folk Ensemble. It was surprising that the first municipality was Tundzha, which has no administrative centre of its own other than Yambol, so Panagyurishte is the second municipality, but one of great significance. This is a symbolic day, and I am glad that this agreement is being signed today. It is a sign that we preserve the memory of those who gave their lives so that we could write in our own letters,” Valchev added.
“After discussing it with the municipality’s media team, the LIK font made an impression on us. We really liked it because we understood the message it conveys regarding Bulgarian symbolism and tradition. The documents we will sign from now on will not only have administrative content but will also carry the Bulgarian spirit and blood within them. Thank you for your partnership on this matter as well, it is an honour for us to be the eleventh institution to use this font,” Gagov said at the signing of the agreement.
BTA launched its LIK typeface on February 16, 2025, the day marking the 127th anniversary of the release of its first bulletin. The typeface was developed by the National Academy of Art, led by Rector Prof. Georgi Yankov, and a team headed by Assoc. Prof. Svetlin Balezdrov and comprising Prof. Kristina Borisova, graphic and type designer Jacklina Jekova and Nikolay Petroussenko.
