TilburgsAns is an art project. Sander Neijnens and Ivo van Leeuwen designed a typeface that’s inspired by the character of the city of Tilburg: raw, self-willed, humorous, experimental and surprising. The typeface not only contains letters, but also icons of specific Tilburg locations, persons, events and words. The typeface is distributed for free. By using TilburgsAns people get connected to the city and to each other.
