That this golden lettering includes a lowercase #DutchIJ only makes sense ✨ Meet "Magazijn Nederland", a national monument at the corner of Spui / Spuistraat Den Haag. It was built in 1915 as a fashion department store by the architects Simons and Van Braningen, in the "Um 1800-Bewegung" style. It seems that since 1980 it's been mostly in use as offices, with retail space on the ground floor. Came across this treasure on my way to Fontstand's venue last year!

@frankrolf such a stunner #DutchIJ 🤩 (and also; what in the creepy song titles......). I've not yet seen this before, and I even attended the 'Dear, Amelia' talk in Copenhagen. Thanks for the tag, Frank! I will try to hunt down a copy..
For their 300th anniversary, the biggest Dutch lottery company, the Staatsloterij, revealed a new logo in Jan. 2026, flaunting a #DutchIJ ✨ For those who follow speed skating competitions, might have spotted this instantly..
In Bessy 'Vlucht door de Hel' (Willy Vandersteen, published by the Standaard Uitgeverij, 1980) the same #DutchIJ design is used for both upper- and lowercase 🔠🔡 It seems the typeface has an uppercase set drawn at x-height used in combination with titling caps, quite nice.. Also note the cute little baseline /g!.
An abundance of capital #DutchIJ 's in magazine 'De Flinstones en andere verhalen' number 69-01 from 1969 🗯️💬💭
Comic #DutchIJ cover of the day; De Kleine Robbe - Wijs niet met je vinger! ('Don't point with your finger'). Published by Depuis in 1991. Not a fan of this series, but quite enjoy the dotted capital /I's and /IJ's in this context! 👉
