I am Swedish and I've never heard of the Sweden Sans font before. The font doesn't look very "Swedish" to me and is completely different from the font used on road signage, for example. For running text the font doesn't work at all imo.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoRoad signage is actually a very specific and typographically demanding use case with its own whole world of constraints and consequences. It's everywhere so very mundane to us, but it's not surprising at all that a general-purpose font isn't usable for it.
- asdfv09s9d80fu9 3y agoYou find the font on the national ID cards.
- bjourne 3y agoTrue, though it appears to be a recent change. The font is not on my id card from 2021 but apparently on id cards from 2023.
