Context

A single style Display typeface developed together with ANTI Oslo for the prestigious Henie Onstad Kunstsenter. Situated on a picturesque peninsula just outside Oslo, this treasure of mid-century Modernist architecture hosts exhibitions of modern and contemporary art as well as the permanent collection initiated by Sonja Henie and Niels Onstad from the 1960s onwards.

The prismatic effect of the typeface is referencing the faceted ceiling present throughout the building. Rhythmic variation between the two sets of Capitals is achieved using the OpenType Contextual Alternate feature.
