Vesterbro is an expressive serif named after the Copenhagen district where the old Western Gate once stood. Blending historical influences with contemporary warmth, it spans from the high-contrast Poster weight to confident Text styles, where supple curves and short serifs add charm and readability. Supporting Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Arabic, Vesterbro is offered as both static and variable fonts, delivering a sophisticated yet inviting tone for branding, editorial, and digital storytelling.
Like any software, fonts are licensed for specific uses. All of our licenses
allow commercial use — the right one simply depends on how you plan to use
the fonts.
Embed fonts directly in a mobile app. Licensing is based on the number of app titles and covers distribution across platforms like iOS and Android, for apps with up to 25,000 monthly active users.
Install fonts on your computer to create static assets like logos, social media images, presentations, and print materials. Each person who installs the font needs a license. Embedding in apps, automated systems, or hosting on a website requires a different license.
