#scale

A map of northern Sweden, Finland and Norway. The coastline and border between the three countries has been drawn multiple times and different scales. The 1:110 million scale is much more angular than the 1:10 million scale. Bathymetry is shown off-shore. Lakes and rivers are also plotted along with a few settlements. The typeface of the labels and corresponding legend items mirrors the scale of the data plotted, with a more pixelated font used for the 1:110 million scale data, and a more refined version of the typeface used for the 1:10 million scale data.
