Since 1648, the Royal Library in Copenhagen has collected and shared the collective written knowledge of Denmark. In 2017, it merged with the State and University Library (Statsbiblioteket) in Aarhus under the name the Royal Danish Library (Det Kongelige Bibliotek).
The selection of typefaces used for the Royal Danish Library comes from the Berlingske family – a superfamily that comes in many styles. Berlingske Sans and Serif are available from Playtype.
