Entry Description

The history of Christiansborg Palace dates back more than 800 years. Today the palace both provides the setting for official royal events and welcomes the public into the royal chambers.

To visually support this narrative, the brand identity reinforces Christiansborg Palace as a living palace – anchored in the past, yet writing the history as we speak. At the heart of this identity is a bespoke typeface: a classic serif with a contemporary edge inspired by the palace’s interiors, and a clean, modern crown inspired by King Christian V’s crown from 1671.
