Copenhagen
sans-serifgrotesque
A revival of the sans serif lettering found on municipal signs across Copenhagen, retaining its utilitarian, industrial character.
About
Drawn from the vernacular sans serif found on Copenhagen's citywide municipal signage, this three-weight family preserves the no-nonsense quality of its source material. The letterforms carry the slight idiosyncrasies of public lettering rather than the polish of a constructed geometric or humanist grotesque. It suits applications where an unpretentious, quietly distinctive sans is needed.
Classification
A revival of a vernacular municipal signage sans, fitting squarely within the grotesque tradition with an industrial, no-nonsense character typical of mid-century European public lettering.
