Bournonville

“I initially developed this bespoke typeface as a display font for a photographic book project documenting the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen. Named after the Danish ballet master and choreographer August Bournonville (1805–1879), who shaped the country’s ballet tradition and created numerous classical ballets for the Royal Danish Ballet.”

Inspired by the elegance of ballet and subtly infused with classic elements that evoke the Danish Golden Age while maintaining a contemporary feel, the typeface continues to stand on its own.
