Modern

Modern is a proportionally spaced typewriter typeface that traces its origins back to the IBM Executive typewriter. This digitisation of Modern was done in collaboration with and under the direction of Jonas Williamsson.

Situated on the island of Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, MDT (Moderna Dansteatern) is a theater dedicated to contemporary choreography and performance. Their visual identity incorporates Modern as a key element.
