This issue is the third to be published in the Typically Dutch series this year. The multi-annual series started in 2020 and, in 2024, will be dedicated to the animals we know best and are closest to us. The six identical postage stamps will be marked ‘Nederland 1’, the denomination for items weighing up to 20g destined for the Netherlands. A sheet of six stamps costs €6.54. The Typically Dutch – horses issue was designed by Senior Graphic Designer Adam Lane, Creative Director Edwin van Praet and Concept Director Huub van Veenhuijzen from Total Design in Amsterdam. Artificial intelligence was used to create a design featuring figurines in the shape of Delftware pottery. The Typically Dutch series featured stamp sheets on cows and dogs that were published on 2 January and 12 February respectively. Issues on songbirds (13 May) and cats (12 August) will follow later this year. Each stamp on the Typically Dutch – dogs stamp sheet features two dogs sitting next to each other on their hind legs. The portrait takes the form of a figurine made from shiny Delftware pottery. The image of the two dogs was created using the AI programme Midjourney, which produces images based on textual descriptions. At the bottom of each stamp is the sorting hook, the year 2024, the country (Nederland) and the denomination (1). The logo for the Typically Dutch series is printed above each stamp, with a folded Dutch banner on the left and right. Another cutout of the stamp image is repeated in a larger size on the left sheet edge. The Typically Dutch logo is repeated again on the top sheet edge, alongside with a brief explanation of the relationship between man and dog in the Netherlands to its right. The Nexa Thin and Nexa Rust (Svet Simov, Fontfabric, 2012) fonts have been used for the text on the stamps and stamp sheet. Typically Dutch – horses was designed by Total Design. This Amsterdam-based design agency has been responsible for the Typically Dutch series since 2020. For the 2024 series, PostNL asked Total Design to elaborate on the Delftware theme through a combination of photography and illustrations. Delftware did end up on the stamps, but with a contemporary twist.
