Store Norske Jazz - Contrasted sans-serif balancing rationality with playfulness, ideal for digital, branding, and editorial design.

About

Store Norske Jazz is a contrasted sans-serif typeface that conveys clarity, professionalism, and a rational sensibility. Born from a thoughtful analysis of two classic genre-defining typefaces—Univers and Permanent—Jazz balances the cold, serious tone of Univers with the charm and playfulness of Permanent. The result is a contemporary sans-serif that remains approachable while upholding a refined, modern spirit. Jazz’s clean forms and digital-friendly design make it particularly suitable for use in digital environments, ensuring excellent readability and a polished presence.

Carefully avoiding eccentric proportions and unconventional letterforms, Jazz achieves a distinct yet accessible character. Its crisp lines and confident forms make it an excellent fit for high-stakes industries such as medicine, finance, and technology, where trust and clarity are paramount. At the same time, its understated elegance has made it a favourite in art books and cultural projects seeking a clean, sophisticated look. Versatile and reliable, Store Norske Jazz stands out in branding and editorial design.

For those seeking a monospaced companion, Jazz Mono offers the same qualities in a typewriter-inspired form.
