The origins of Bering can be traced back to a small harbour in the bay near the Swedish city of Skärhamn. The name of that village was stencilled—presumably in the late 1960s—in a very peculiar way on one of the lifebuoys, which was fortunately found by the authors in another harbour in a German city called Rostock.Bering has a strict, analytical look, bringing to mind the original purpose of the stencil: it was meant to be a simple tool for drawing letters on various surfaces. The design approach, based on a multi-layered modular grid, has made it possible to reinvent the design of the original letterforms. The geometric structure of the typeface also allows the development of the proportions and weights of the type family in various directions.
