CPH Signs
A revival of Copenhagen's hand-painted enamel street sign lettering, adapted into a five-weight family with understated, calligraphic warmth.
About
Drawn from the white-on-dark-blue enamel signs still visible across Copenhagen, CPH Signs translates a civic lettering tradition into a usable typeface across five weights from Light to Bold. Its calligraphic origins give it a quiet elegance that has attracted both brand and editorial use, including SuperBrugsen's corporate identity and headline setting in the Danish newspaper Berlingske. The absence of italics keeps it focused, best suited to signage, packaging and display work where its heritage reads clearly.
Classification
Revived from hand-painted Copenhagen street sign lettering, the letterforms carry a humanist warmth and calligraphic origin typical of mid-century European signage traditions, placing it firmly in the humanist sans category.
