We have been shortlisted for this year’s CCA → Type Design for DR – Danmarks Radio.

Since 2019, we have been working on DR’s bespoke type family, DR Publik.
Rounded is the newest extension of the superfamily. It moves from elegant and refined in the lighter weights to softer, fuller, and more playful in the heaviest. 

Thanks to DR for the trust and for a great collaboration — we look forward to following it through to the grand final!

Kunsthal Spritten (KS)
Visual Identity - Website - Brand Strategy

Kunsthal Spritten marks a new chapter in the history of De Danske Spritfabrikker. As the former distillery transforms into a thriving kunsthal, its redesigned visual identity and website reflect this evolution — bridging industrial heritage with a contemporary cultural vision.

With the redesigned website, Kunsthal Spritten prioritizes clarity, usability, and conscious design choices. An integrated eco-mode further reduces the site’s environmental footprint, reflecting a commitment to responsible transformation — both architecturally and digitally.

Say hello to DR Publik Rounded.

DR, The Danish Broadcasting Corporation, is Denmark’s largest public service media organisation. Across news, radio, TV, podcasts and streaming, typography is one of the core elements that holds the brand together.

Across DR’s many platforms, from news and radio to podcasts and streaming, DR Publik appears in a wide range of weights and styles: from functional text cuts to expressive condensed and ultra-bold variants.

One family. Many voices.
Now joined by DR Publik Rounded.

–––

Over the years, we’ve designed and developed DR Publik — a bespoke type family — built for clarity, expression and screen performance, it balances a functional Danish mindset with international usability. It’s yours, mine and everybody’s.

Huge thanks to the DR Design team, Marcus Fuchs, Niels Rinder and Julian Sonne Hansen, for another strong collaboration.

Although Kunsthal Spritten is currently being developed in the almost 100-year-old distillery in Aalborg, it is already making its mark on the Danish art scene.
We have updated the visual identity to reflect Kunsthal Spritten’s new focus as a center for experimental contemporary art. The revitalised identity features a refreshed logo, new typeface, and brand colour inspired by the site’s archaeological tones, alongside streamlined layout principles. However, strong references to the former distillery known as Spritten and the city’s history remain: the logotype, drawn from the old distillery’s rooftop lettering, is unchanged, but its application is now used more subtly as a distinctive identity marker.

Every year, engages nearly a million guests through a rich variety of musical experiences. To ensure the concert hall resonates with today’s audience, we have revitalised its visual identity and digital experience.

A flexible grid system and the signature oval shape provide a cohesive framework for showcasing diverse musical genres. Together with a vibrant colour palette, the identity captures the artistic ambition of being both a world-class concert hall and a stage for emerging talent. The result is a bold, playful, and confident evolution for this well-established brand.
