Nordic Typography Profiles
Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish are separate conservative Avellio profiles collected here for comparison without pretending they share one language standard.
This page is written in English. The locale codes describe the text being typeset and the convention Avellio applies; they do not indicate the language of this web page.
At a glance
Quotation marks
Swedish uses a right-double quote model in Avellio; DA, NO, and FI quote enforcement is conservative.
Punctuation spacing
Follow the selected language and publication style; this hub does not impose one Nordic punctuation system.
Non-breaking spaces
Space grouping and protected semantic pairs are common profile features.
Dates
SE favors ISO; DA, NO, and FI accept regional slash/dot/ISO patterns conservatively.
Numbers
Space grouping and decimal comma are expected.
Currency
SEK/kr, DKK/kr/kr., NOK/kr, and EUR/€ are recognized per profile.
Units
Recognized units use protected spacing.
Regional variants
Select the exact profile rather than treating Nordic as a selectable locale.
SEDANOFIHouse-style caveat
This comparison page is English-language documentation about four locales, not a unified Nordic rulebook.
How to use this with Avellio

- Use an explicit profile when one regional convention governs the complete scope.
- Run a new Typography Audit after changing locale.
- Read locale source, specificity, confidence, and context together.
- Correct ambiguous dates, numbers, currencies, and complete quote pairs manually.
