Don’t you like our font names? Rude. Put your own company name on it then, if it’s so important. A convenient trick that looks good in your brand manual

Norad

Norad, Norway's Agency for Development Cooperation, needed a custom typeface that could bridge their heritage with contemporary digital demands. Commissioned by design agency Dinamo as part of a comprehensive identity update, we developed a three-style font system consisting of a dynamic display face, a functional sans-serif, and an authoritative serif family. The typefaces harmonize with their iconic 1963 logo symbol while introducing a modern clarity that works across platforms. This comprehensive type system now serves as a key element in Norad's communication toolkit, enabling clear and consistent messaging from detailed reports to engaging social media content.

Quilt

A tech company founded by former Google and Tesla employees, Quilt specializes in all-electric heating and cooling systems. Manual Creative commissioned us to enhance their brand identity through targeted character modifications. We redrew several key characters with a focus on display numerals, optimizing them specifically for their control screen UI. The refined characters now serve as distinctive elements in Quilt's user interface.

The Bible

Molberger commissioned us to adapt our STK Bureau typeface for use on thin bible paper. We modified the weight distribution and redrew specific details to ensure optimal legibility on the delicate paper stock. The result is a specially tailored version of Bureau that maintains readability while preserving the tone of voice of God.

Promenaden

Promenaden, Oslo's premier luxury shopping district, needed a distinctive typeface for their new identity. Drawing inspiration from historical chiseled lettering found on a local facade, we created a custom typeface that connects the district's heritage with its luxury positioning. This bespoke typeface now stands as the cornerstone of their brand identity.

BikBok

We developed a comprehensive custom font family for BikBok, one of Norway's leading fashion brands, commissioned by Oslo-based studio Bielke&Yang. The project encompassed two distinct styles: an editorial display family featuring abrupt teardrop terminals paired with an expressive italic counterpart, and a practical sans-serif workhorse. This versatile type system is now implemented across all brand touchpoints, reinforcing BikBok's visual identity.

Grønt Lag

The Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports (NIF) launched "Grønt Lag" to promote environmental consciousness in sports at all levels. Commissioned by Molberger, we created an enhanced version of the Miso Italics, pushing its dynamic characteristics to new extremes. The modified typeface, with its increased speed and attitude, effectively communicates the initiative's forward-thinking, environmentally conscious mission.
