Forschungsstation Jungfraujoch stamp
From Monika Rohner’s website:
One year ago (August 2021) Swiss Post contacted me and asked if I would be interested in taking part in a competition for a stamp to celebrate the research station on top of Jungfraujoch. Swiss Post invited three studios for the briefing to the “Top of Europe”. We spent an amazing day at 3’500 meters above sea level and came back with a lot of impressions, information and fotos on our smart phones. After a clearly defined design process, a committee at Swiss Post decided whose stamp design should be produced. I was the lucky winner and, in addition to the stamp, was also allowed to design the sheetlet of 10 stamps and the first day envelope with a special stamp.
The stamp depicts the Sphinx Observatory, one of the highest astronomical observatories in the world, which has a viewing platform at a height of 3,572 metres (11,719 ft). The typeface chosen by Rohner is Steradian.
