SEB Basic is the new typeface for Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB, (SEB) and is conceptually based on the single weight typeface SEB Basic DemiBold by Carl-Fredrik Hultenheim. SEB Basic DemiBold has always been an important part of SEB's graphic identity so therefore it was important to stay within the concept. The old typeface had however both aestethic and functional problems looking at it with eyes of today.

First the Regular style was designed with a corresponding Italic. The new Medium style replaced the old DemiBold and Light, Bold and ExtraBold also became part of the family.

The SEB Basic family contains OpenType features such as small caps, different numeral systems and case sensitive forms. The typeface also include a large number of symbols/pictograms for use in different applications. An extensive language support was also important as SEB have offices in many countries. A typeface manual demonstrating OpenType-features and typographic recommendations followed the delivery.

SEB Basic Web with a reduced character set was also produced for use on websites.
