- colinmford 11y agoThat g in type design circles is often referred to as the "Copenhagen" or "Danish" g because of its prevalence there... it seems like the Danes just don't like writing the last part of the g! For instance, this sign from 1897 [1] contains many examples of it, even on the street sign on the top right corner. For more examples, I suggest a browse through http://www.copenhagentype.dk/ http://www.copenhagentype.dk/ [1] http://www.lundwp.lamp.magnifik.dk/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Amagerbrogade-KBH-S-1897-1024x690.jpg http://www.lundwp.lamp.magnifik.dk/wp-content/uploads/2013/1...
