ABOUT

Trine Rask

Danish designer Trine Rask lived in Den Haag from 2003-2004, as a graduate student at the KABK. In her final project there, she designed North (published in 2008 by LazyDogs), a book typeface suiting the textimage of the four Scandinavian languages, Danish, New Norwegian, Bokmal and Swedish.

Trine Rask teaches type design at The Danish School of Media and The Danish Design School in Copenhagen.

Author of Skriftdesign - øvelser på papiret (2009).

In 2009, Trine went commercial at MyFonts.

Her early fonts include Tommy Slim (2003, an all caps font to be used at 48 points and above), Case (a casual printed face), Pixel, Covergirl (2006, a stylish upright connected script for the fashion industry), Jewel (extra heavy with large contrast), and Brandts (sans serif).

Her rounded typeface family Rum (2009) won an award at TDC2 2010). Rum is not named after the drink, but is just Danish for "room, space". In 2010, she published Rum Sans, a humanist modular sans serif to accompany Rum. In 2021, she added a poster version, Rum Plakat.

In 2012, Trine designed Bornholm Tejn, named after the Tejn village on the rocky Danish island of Bornholm. It is a rough stone-cut polgonal typeface. It was followed some time later in 2012 by Bornholm Sandvig, in 2013 by Bornholm Dondal (stone-cut emulation) and in 2016 by the lowercase variant, Bornholm Tejn Low. She also published Rum Serif that year.

In 2013, she finished Bornholm Allinge (chiseled stone face). Rum Sans (a humanist sans in 11 styles) and Rum Soft Sans (11 styles) were part of the commercial typeface library at Incubator / Village, but showed up in 2021 at MyFonts.

Typefaces from 2019: Matita Geometric (a 5-style humanist geometric typeface designed with mathematics in mind), Matita Connected, Matita Written (hand-printed to teach handwriting), Slik.

Typefaces from 2020: Matita Informal.

Typefaces from 2022: Rum Silhouette.
