About
Designed by Luciano Vergara and published in 2015, Nordikka spans five weights with matching italics, all in a condensed proportion suited to headlines and short text. The design is characterised by clean, upright terminals and restrained detail, reflecting the clarity associated with Nordic design culture. The final stage of development took place in Olinda, Brazil, lending a cross-cultural dimension to the project.
Classification
