註釋
On boarding the train at Copenhagen airport, the type-conscious visitor to Denmark already begins to notice something amiss in the lowercase g used on signs. The city itself offers many more examples of this peculiar g that lacks most of its lower half, both in old street-name signs and in modern brand identities. This form of curtailed g was never exclusive to Denmark, but it seems to have been cultivated there more than anywhere else, and has been consciously adopted by contemporary type designers as a Danish characteristic.
