Koning

Recognition: Excellence of Typography, Communication Arts, 2025
Instructor: Ryan Bugden
Koning is a display serif typeface revived from old Dutch hand lettering on a banner for Louis Napoleon, King of Holland (1806-1811), displayed in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. I was intrigued by its sturdy yet subtly grotesque characteristics.
Koning Specimen is set with Simon Mono by Dinamo.
