Adelgade

Typeface design

Adelgade is a serif typeface with simple yet distinct characters, inspired by the hand-drawn lettering on street signs in the Nyboder district of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The name, Adelgade, comes from one of the streets in Nyboder, which translates literally to "Nobility Street."

Work in progress.
