When the city of ’s-Hertogenbosch dug out their underground parking lot named Sint-Jan in 2015 they found a mass grave of 67 french soldiers of the revolutionary army. In honour of these anonymous soldiers who died in the harsh winter of 1794 the local government decided to put up a monument.

The physical design for the monument was already decided for. For this monument a custom font was made: the Ceremony, a minimal serif, yet classic font with calligraphy-inspired features and a large set of unorthodox ligatures.

Only the characters needed for this monument design were developed. The copyright is still with us, so Ceremony is available for purchase.
