Peter Verheul
Born in Waddinxveen, The Netherlands, 1965, Peter Verheul is a type designer and educator who lives in Den Haag. He studied at KABK in Den Haag. Professor at the KABK since 1991 (and, according to many graduates, one of the best professors in the program). Designer of these fonts: - Haganum (Dutch serif).
- Adetro (1987, sans).
- Bumper (1993, comic book).
- Illuster (1988, italic).
- FF New Berlin (1991, hookish display face).
- FF Sheriff (1996, Egyptian marries sans).
- OT Versa (1993). Until 2001 it was called Nardy. Versa, Versa Sans, Condensed and Sans Condensed are now available at OurType since 2004. Versa is perhaps most famous for its use in Jan Middendorp's masterpiece, Dutch Type (2004). An adaptation of Versa was created by Verheul, in cooperation with Irma Boom, for the custom typeface of the magnificent Rijks Museum (Dutch National Museum), which houses many great Dutch paintings from the 17th century, including from Rembrandt.

- Rijksoverheid Serif and Rijksoverheid Sans (2008), created at Studio Dumbar for the new identity of the Dutch Government. This project was the subject of his talk at ATypI 2013 in Amsterdam. The abstract: The identities of 13 ministries and about 175 departments of the Dutch government are being redesigned into one single identity by Studio Dumbar in 2008-2010. Together with this operation a typeface family has been designed to play an essential role in this new identity. In about nine months from the start, the core of a font family had to be ready for use. Rijksoverheid Serif for logos and text, Rijksoverheid Sans for headings. Later, at the end of 2009, based on new insights, a text version of the Sans was designed plus additional Greek glyphset for all the fonts. In January 2013 the latest addition to the type family has been delivered. Discussion by Sander Baumann.
