Eksell Display was originally designed in 1962 by swedish designer Olle Eksell (1918–2007).

MTG Sans is a custom type­face devel­oped to play an impor­tant part of the new MTG brand, active in 40 mar­kets around the world. The type­face is opti­mized for eight dif­fer­ent dig­i­tal plat­forms includ­ing Swe­dens largest stream­ing ser­vice, Viaplay. I was commissioned by BVD to collaborate and create ­a sim­ple, clear type­face with a per­sonal and human­is­tic touch.

With input from Kurppa Hosk I have designed a unique Slab Serif typeface for Tele2. Each style in the family is optimized for its main use area. The strong, compact Heavy weight with lowered diacritics is a perfect tool for setting tight headlines. The Bold style does its magic in sub-headings and short preambles and the Regular style is optimized for body copy, both in print and on screens.
