Theo van Beurden Theo van Beurden is a Dutch graphic designer based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He graduated from LUCA School of Arts, Ghent, Belgium, class of 2012. In 2015, with Bauke van der Laan, 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). From 2016-2018 he was a regular guest lecturer at LUCA School of Arts.
