Copenhagen has been in need of a typeface that unites the city’s many visual expressions.
The three designers Morten Rostgaard Olsen, Henrik Birkvig and Ole Søndergaard have designed and developed the typeface FP København. Now available from MyFonts in 44 styles: Serif & sans serif, uprights & italics, small caps, pictos-characters, stencils, sprayed style, OT-features, ligatures, contextual alternates etc.
The shapes of the letters are inspired by the city’s culture and the visual environment and design in Denmark in the 20th century.
It is relatively low and wide as the city itself and with rounded corners that give it a warm visual mood.
