Peter Verheul presented his Rijksoverheid typefaces for the new identity of the Dutch government. A family of serif related to Verheul’s recent Versa, and a new sans family form the basis of an ambitious redesign by Studio Dumbar . From the press release:

The government is actively organising its services according to the 'one desk concept'. The goal is to improve communication and interaction between the citizens and government, and adoption of one house style for the entire government is part of this concept. The unified house style will contribute to clarity and accessibility, where the National Government now presents a very fragmented image. Eventually, dozens of organisations and departments that currently have their own logos and styles will adopt the designs developed by Studio Dumbar.
