This is Munken

In 2020, we rebranded Munken and, as a tribute to that rebranding, we presented you with the new Munken Sans font. This new font was inspired by the Swedish typeface Tratex, designed by Kåge Gustafson, for national road signs in the 1960s.

Munken Sans is the outcome of a collaboration between Munken and with Laurenz Brunner and Selina Bernet, in dialogue with Jonas Williamsson and Cornel Windlin (Lineto). The Swiss typographers from Lineto have further developed Tratex timelessly beautiful and characteristic design for Munken Sans. Unlike Tratex, which consists of only one weight, Munken Sans is available in three weights: regular, medium and bold.

The copyright of the font is with Laurenz Brunner as designer and lineto.com as publisher. For any licensing questions or any further information in conjunction with Munken Sans, please contact service@lineto.com
