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.
Specimen is typeset with Simon Mono by JP Haynie and Robert Janes.
