Lost in translation?

The Czech typefounder Storm Type Foundry is notable both for their excellent types and their commentary on the types, evidently translated from a Czech original into very good but occasionally stilted and cryptic English: for instance, "Tenebra Shaded and Old Face decorate, but do not refine."

I imagine some designers won't care for the individuality and eccentricity that draw me to my faves, but you folks who came to graphic design because you love the shapes of letters will find a lot to look at. Very reasonably priced, too.
