ABOUT

David Engelby Foundry [David Engelby]

Copenhagen-based creator (b. Jutland, Denmark) of the four-style serif typeface Ingleby (2006-2008). In 2011, he added Engelberg (pixel face), OnO Display, ServusTextDisplay-Display, and ServusTextDisplayItalic-display (an angular text face). All of these typefaces were free.

In 2013, he set up the commercial David Engelby Foundry. The first typeface there was the text family Ingleby II. This was followed by OnO Display Pro (2013, a calligraphic typeface) and Onward (2013).

Ruth Pro (2014) is a magazine typeface family inspired by ITC Mendoza and Stone Serif.

In 2015, Engelby published the free three-style Copenhagen Grotesk, which was influenced by the rich history of German grotesques. It was followed in 2019 by Copenhagen Grotesk Nova.

Typefaces from 2016: Leducation (a didone family combined with a touch of European decadence).

Typefaces from 2017: Verger (inspired by William Morris's Golden Type), Verger Sans.

Typefaces from 2018: Space Show (an atractive rounded sans for clear and big display typography including wayfinding, infographics and posters), Comic Tantrum (free demo), Verger Book, Kiks, Gothic Tantrum, Jutlandia Slab (which was redesigned in 2020 as Jutlandia Pro).

Typefaces from 2019: College Tantrum (an octagonal athletic shirt font).
