About the family


1923
Think oddly.

In the heart of Den Haag stands a brick pillar marking the beginning of a new road in 1923 — the same year Queen Wilhelmina’s 25th government was joyfully celebrated. This structure, a testament to history and endurance, embodies the spirit of this city. Inspired by Den Haag's rich heritage and this enduring pillar, 1923 embraces asymmetry and unconventional forms, presenting an amalgamation of peculiar shapes and a set of numerals that spark curiosity and inspire unconventional creativity. The robust strokes of the typeface echo the strength of the bricks, while the elegant curves reflect the grace and dignity associated with royalty.

1923 provides a versatile array of ligatures and alternates to help you infuse your text with a distinctive flair. Whether you prefer an original or a more organic look, its features enable you to customize your text precisely to your liking and achieve a unique result that embodies your style. 'Think Oddly' serves as a guiding principle, encouraging a departure from the commonplace and fostering an environment where unconventional shapes and innovative design concepts flourish.
