Typeface design by Displaay Type Foundry and Metric
Bespoke typefaces are vital part of the brand identity, as they lend a unique and unmistakable voice to our message. For the purpose of this project two typefaces were designed exclusively for Nasjonalmuseet. The characters for both type families are inspired by works in the museum's collection.
Museet Sans is a monolinear sans-serif, grotesque font family, while Museet Serif is a serif text font family with a renaissance, old style look.
