Information
As Denmark's national public broadcaster, DR communicates across a vast range of channels, platforms and audiences. From news and culture to children's entertainment, each has its own character, yet all must be recognisable as part of DR. The ambition was to make typography a central brand asset, creating a stronger sense of coherence across the organisation. We developed DR Publik as a core element of DR's design system. Rather than relying on different typefaces to express different identities, we created one comprehensive family built around a simple, minimalist design language. Its character comes from its remarkable flexibility, with 38 styles spanning different weights and widths, from UltraCondensed to Normal. At one extreme, a playful Rounded variation gives DR Ramasjang its own distinct expression while remaining part of the same typographic family. Designed for use across every platform, DR Publik combines expressive range with demanding digital requirements. As a variable typeface, it allows DR to work with a wide range of typographic expressions without compromising the speed and performance of dr.dk. The result is more than a custom typeface. It is a shared visual language that brings consistency to DR's many voices, giving each channel room for its own personality while strengthening the identity of DR as a whole.
