Hello @Andrej Krátky.
First I want to thank you for answer my effusive comments about Nara; and congrats you for the beautiful typefaces that you have. Thanks for working like that, its really a inspiration to see your drawings.
I was really interested in the original drawing of Nara; but I only find some images in Typotheque blog.
I'm begining a research about typefaces with really abrupt connections in the transition points—and abrupt modulation. I find Vendôme, Preissing Pro, and begin to notice that Czech Typographic design full my expectations (I know that Vendôme wasn't czech, typophiles).
So, what I really like to see, was more about Nara original drawings, to feel the original drawing curves and to learn a lot from them. But I don't know how difficult is to reach that.
Again: thanks @Andrej Krátky; its really nice to keep in touch with the original thinker of that beauty!

Fabio,
I still do have all the original drawings for the regular variant of the typeface. They are quite large and would take a lot of time to scan:-(
Are you willing to come to Bratislava?:-)
One day I want to go to Bratislava, YES. :)
But now, I don't have the right conditions ($) to go. But when I go there, I'll definitely contact you, to see that marvelous type drawings.
I already contact with Frantisek Storm, and he gave me some resources to follow up.

So good! I've also been wondering if there are books related to Josef Tyfa?
I guess you checked this one: http://www.typotheque.com/articles/nara-the_typeface_that_never_existed
I have the Krásné písmo ve vývoji latink books, also looking for similar books.
