STREET SIGN AT THE AMALIENBORG ROYAL PALACE

During the restoration of the Amalienborg Royal Palace in Copenhagen, the Agency for Palaces and Culturel Properties ordered a street sign from Lars Klint to Frederik Street which displayed the same quality as the palace - not just a building with a mounted street sign.

This tradition is known elsewhere in Copenhagen, where several houses are equipped with street signs that adapt to the house, including the distinguished Engelhard-signs with gilded capitals.

The inscription is based on the typeface Scripsit from Fredensborg Royal Palace Gardens, but obviously with lapidary design changes. Scripsit was designed as bronze letters, the requirements for a carved font is different but of course with the same basic design.

Project content:
Design of a typographic identity based on the original Danish bronze letter type tradition "Frederik V", which is seen on several statue inscriptions.
