ABOUT

Orjan Nordling

Örjan Nordling (b. 1958) is a partner in Pangea Design AB in Stockholm. He studied graphic design in Stockholm and at Basel's School of Design. His typefaces include Nordling BQ (excellent Swedish design award, 1996), DN Bodoni (for headlines in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, 2000), and custom typefaces for Göteborgs Posten, Helsingin Sanomat, and If Insurance. Nordling and Fredrik Andersson co-designed Berling Nova (2003-2004) and Berling Nova Sans (2007) at Linotype with advice from Akira Kobayashi. Both typefaces grew out of Forsberg's Berling (1951-1953). In 2002, he created a matching sans for Dagens Nyheter, DN Grotesk. This evolved in 2009 into a pay font at FontFont, FF Dagny (FF Dagny OT Thin is free!). Enighet, done for The Swedish Trade Union Confederation in 2008 together with Fredrik Andersson, won a merit award at the EDAwards in 2008.
