Great font! I’m surprised you found it.

Great stuff.
Could you please publish the full posts in your RSS feed?
I’ll probably be dropping you if you don’t.

If that’s a threat, that’s sad.

Hi - where is the font - I cannot for the life of me see the download link on the page? Any clues??

joey / February 24, 2005 @ 7:43 am

It appears that the Danes have pulled the font! I don’t suppose anyone can translate the page that’s up there now?

Looks like they’ve got a bit miffed with so many downloads. From what I can make out, you now need to e-mail them for the file. Unless anyone else can read it properly…?

Richard Earney / February 24, 2005 @ 7:58 am

anyone willing to share it ;-)

Harm Wimmenhove / February 24, 2005 @ 8:01 am

Yeah,

I would like it to, searching for Union since a while now.
Anyone?

It seems to be a copyright issue, rather than bandwidth hoarding. The font, as best I can tell from my basic survival Danish, was intended for use on Danish Ministry of Education related projects only.

Other uses need to be cleared with the font’s designer, whose address is given here.

Isn’t someone willing to share it?? I would like very much to have it…

Please, if you can share it with me, publish a post in my blog [ snip ]

Thanks a lot…

I’m a dane so here goes:
the site is for the social care and social education department who had the font developed to make it easier to read (dyslexics are having a hard time with sans serifs and normal serif fonts alike) so its made to make it easier to distinguish between letters.

you can have it from them if you use it in education or social care remit. if you want to use it (in the nice way without just nicking it) then you need to email its designer … I’m not affiliated, so essentially I don’t care what you do, just know that when someone steels some of mine It’s nice to be credited or at least thanked, no!

the guy is Morten Rostgaard Olsen.
and he’s at mro@mail.tele.dk.
