Designed by Jan-Christian Bruun, Arkibal Mono is a sans serif font family. This typeface has six styles and was published by JC Design Studio.
The Mono version is a little different from Sans family, where the letters have a straight shape in the top bottom.
The idea was to make a classic mono typed version with different selection of letters.
The inspiration comes from some old documents and store signs from my great-grandfather’s old gold listfactory from 1838.
He delivered hits for many artists of that time, and various museums in Copenhagen.
I priority increases to make a mixture of the classic letter with a modern lift.
Seems it was fun to try to reproducesome of the old characters and make a new font.
Uppercase ìGî was the first letter of the startingpoint. G stands for in danish ìGuldrammeî, which means ìGoldframeî. Arkibal is coming from an almost old danish tradional name “Arkibald”, only without “d”.
