Duplex Collection
One spacing system, two editorial voices
Berton Hasebe designed Duplex Serif and Sans for Ribergård + Munk's overhaul of more than a dozen MittMedia daily newspapers in Sweden. The two typefaces share identical spacing so editors can swap serif for sans without altering copyfit, letting upmarket and downmarket titles differ in tone without diverging in layout.
