The Riks stencils, completing Sindre Bremnes’ Telefon family, is in part based on the seven letters adorning the sides of the telephone kiosk by the same name, designed by architect Georg Fredrik Fasting in 1932. In Bremnes’ all-purpose Telefon typeface the original stencil ‘O’ is relegated to a stylistic set – in Riks its stencil logic is applied to the entire character set.
