The Danish Type Design Tradition

As the host institution at the Royal Danish Academy, we are pleased to offer a comprehensive introduction to the Danish type design scene for the ATypI audience. Denmark has a rich sign painting tradition, which has significantly influenced the development of modern Danish type design. The broader historical context will be outlined by Sofie Beier and Matthias Horneman-Thiecke, followed by individual short presentations by Danish type designers.<br/><br/>A group of innovative Danish type designers will share their unique perspectives on the matter. The invited designers will each present a brief focused talk. Each designer will be asked to provide a personal take on how Danish heritage has influenced their own practice.
