Does this font feel Canadian to Canadians?
The Dutch government also has its 'own' typeface [1,2], used on everything from the official weather reports to tax forms and road signs. Dutch people recognize anything written in it as something meant to be taken seriously.

- kps 11y agoI don't think there's any typeface that Canadians would recognize as particularly Canadian. The federal government uses Helvetica. But then, to me, ‘Dutchness’ in a typeface brings to mind the styles of the 17th century when the Dutch were at the center of printing.
