About Skriftkompani
Skriftkompani Origins and Mission
Store Norske Skriftkompani offers typefaces shaped from a northern perspective, exploring Norway’s visual heritage and cultural nuances. The foundry originated from Skrift i Oslo, a book and exhibition that documented signage in Oslo between 1864 and 1964. The project showcased handmade signs and lettering, aiming to reveal a local visual dialect. These sources were further refined into complete typeface families, forming the foundation of Skriftkompani. The aim of the foundry is to explore the phenomena of language and expression of dialect through typefaces, exhibitions, books, lectures, and workshops.

The License Owner is the person, company, organisation or institution represented by the typeface. This means the license is based on who the typeface is used for, not who installs the font files.
