Macron-like umlauts for Stockholm’s new identity

Source: Stockholms stad. Posted here for the inclusion in the Fancy Diacritics group.

 

Sweden’s capital Stockholm just got a new visual identity, designed by Essen International. The typeface is the custom Stockholm Type, designed by Emmanuel Rey of Swiss Typefaces as an offshoot of his Euclid BP.

 

While the text fonts (as seen on the website) have a conventional umlaut, the display styles exhibit a macron-like “Swiss-style” umlaut. According to Swiss Typefaces, it is not an enforced export, though: the client has asked for it.
