Gadetyper

by Christian Koch · Website

Gadetyper is a Copenhagen street-found font assembled from real signs and graffiti photographed across the city by designers Christina Bruun Olsson and Christian Koch. Every character comes from a different source, so the font reads like a ransom-note collage of serif, sans, script, and hand-painted styles, each worn and distressed by real urban life. The result is something no typeface designed from scratch could fake.
