“Nordvest is a serif typeface suitable for text whose horizontals are just slightly thicker than its verticals. This subtle reversal of the traditional weighting of thick and thin strokes lends it a unique voice and texture that emphasizes the horizontal direction of the line. A versatile type family in four weights and eight styles, Nordvest combines more display-oriented heavy weights that pack quite a punch with text styles that have been carefully optimized to be useful first and interesting second. Nordvest started as Nina Stössinger’s graduation project in the type and media program at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, Den Haag, Netherlands, and was published by Monokrom in 2016.”
