Svedala is a type family attempting to reflect the contrast between the two major seasons in Sweden, winter and summer. With inspiration from the national typeface — Sweden Sans by Söderhavet/Stefan Hattenbach — I designed a serif version and two display weights.

Sommar is a display weight reflecting the casual, warm and light summer days. Vinter is a display weight reflecting cracked ice, snow and darkness. Vardag works well with both display weights and is used for paragraphs in smaller size.
