In December 2011, Art Director Søren Nyeland launched a redesign of Politiken, Denmark’s second-largest morning newspaper —as well as the international version, Politiken Weekly. In the new design Dr Gerard Unger’s Capitolium 2 font is used widespread in the newspaper, both for display as for text size.
