In the mid-1950’s Dick Dooijes had started the development of a typeface that would come to be known as Mercator, the dutch Helvetica. First presented it proved to be an immediate, sensational success. The years passed, and yet, there was still no great version around. When we started our research we wanted to take inspiration but modernize the weights. Finding cues in archival specimens the result was an artistic take on a classic. Dooijes Sans, named after it’s creator has been entirely reworked and expanded from multiple weights, including italics and alternative character styles.
