Joh. Enschedé
Exploring the printers behind pages, banknotes, and type that shaped a nation.
Noord-Hollands Archief, Haarlem (NL), 2019

Overview
The Noord-Hollands Archief launched a permanent exhibition celebrating Joh. Enschedé, the printer behind the Netherlands’ banknotes, stamps, and typefaces. A striking floor-to-ceiling window creates a vibrant atmosphere, framing three key installations: an 18th century printing press, a showcase of unique typefaces, and a banknote printer’s roll. Interactive apps and physical games throughout the space invite visitors to explore the craftsmanship behind these everyday objects.
Contribution
I was in charge of designing and producing the graphic layer and visual style of the exhibition. The design brought clarity and structure while infusing the historical stories with a fresh twist, making the world of security printing feel both accessible and fascinating.
