Reykjavik
PSY/OPS Type Foundry · Stefan Kjartansson · 2001
A sans serif in two distinct stylistic families — One conventional, Two informal — each spanning four weights with italics, designed by Stefan Kjartansson and released in 2001.
About
Reykjavik offers two parallel design approaches across the same family structure. The One style favours a standard, neutral construction with a double-storey 'a' and open 'C', while the Two style adopts a warmer, more expressive character with a single-storey 'a', looped 'k' and curvy 'E'. Both subsets share the same four-weight gauge system with accompanying italics or obliques, and include Western and Eastern European character sets with ligature support.
Classification
A sans serif with two distinct stylistic variants: One is more conventional with double-storey 'a' and open 'C', while Two takes a more informal humanist direction with single-storey 'a', looped 'k' and curvy 'E'.
