FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Bauke van der Laan Dutch type designer, b. 1987, currently located in Italy. Graduate of LUCA School of Arts, Ghent, Belgium, class of 2012. In 2015, with Theo van Beurden, he set up DOGMA, a practice for graphic design and typography. They decided then to digitize Mercator, a famous sans serif by Dick Dooijes (1958, Lettergieterij Amsterdam Tetterode). In 1958, Mercator was lauded as the Dutch Helvetica, to compete with the Swiss typeface Helvetica. Mercator never took off the way Helvetica did, so Bauke and Theo wanted to retrieve it from history's dustbin. Design studio De Ronners from Rotterdam has now used this letter to design the magazine for the members of the Association of Dutch Designers BNO (Beroepsorganisatie Nederlandse Ontwerpers).
