Oslo, a very weird font

OSLO is a wild display font, based on the stained-glass windows in Oslo Cathedral. It's got a wobbly, hand-drawn feel, as suited to its original context. It looks great jammed up together with text, and in high-contrast situations.

We visited Norway this summer, and Matt fell in love with some weird stained-glass windows. So we made a little typeface.

The original letterforms were designed and painted by the Norwegian artist Emanuel Vigelund, who created the entire stained glass windows in the cathedral choir area.

OSLO is a single-case display typeface. It has only uppercase letters, numbers, and most (but not all) punctuation and symbols. It's got a handful of accented characters as well! It's definitely not your choice for big sections of body text, but it's a bold choice for fun display situations.
