PostFinance

Published April 24, 2026

PostFinance was looking for a typeface that could carry its voice across every channel—internally and externally, digital and print, official and everyday.

As part of its brand refresh, the company decided to replace its long-standing corporate typeface, Frutiger. The foundation became NN Nouvelle Grotesk, which we carefully reshaped into a dedicated corporate typeface for one of Switzerland’s largest banks.

The foundation stayed the same, but details shifted. Some letters were redrawn, the rhythm fine-tuned. Small interventions with a big effect: the result feels familiar, yet carries a tone that’s distinctly PostFinance. Clear, reliable, consistent – just what you’d expect from a national financial institution.

This new version now speaks wherever PostFinance communicates: on websites, customer letters, campaigns, apps, interfaces, and internal documents. A single typographic voice that adapts to all contexts while keeping the identity unmistakably coherent.

For us, the process was less about invention and more about precision. Taking Nouvelle Grotesk and nudging it towards a new role, where the design DNA remains visible, but the character shifts just enough to embody the values of PostFinance.

It’s a youthful typeface that captivates with both simplicity and originality: the expressive PostFinance Grotesk, whose clear, confident design fully embodies the bold and dynamic spirit of PostFinance.
