The various angles in the font take their origin from the bridge itself, while a bold basis combined with sharp yet subtle line-work make these letters reminiscent of the Erasmus bridge profile; thin as a needle, wide as a harp. The evocative characteristics of the font lean into the industrial nature of the city’s harbour. Erasmusbrug25 is a gift from Rotterdam to the world, and is available for free to download below.
