About

Store Norske Maleri is a display typeface that marries calligraphic tradition with contemporary design precision. Drawing from Ehmcke’s Mediaeval, a hidden gem from 1917 reimagined through the lens of geometric construction, Maleri offers a refined balance between handcrafted warmth and structural forms. What appears at first as a purely calligraphic or artisanal face reveals, on closer inspection, a foundation of circles, triangles, and squares, producing a harmonious dialogue between the organic and constructed.

Maleri’s monumental capitals exude gravitas and presence, while its flowing lowercase letters retain a touch of the handwritten, bringing versatility to the typographic palette. Its striking headline effect and distinctive character have made it a popular choice for branding and editorial projects, as well as a wide range of crafts-related applications. For those seeking a monospaced companion, Maleri Mono offers the same distinctive qualities in a typewriter-inspired form.

Store Norske Maleri is designed by Arve Båtevik.
