That g in type design circles is often referred to as the "Copenhagen" or "Danish" g because of its prevalence there... it seems like the Danes just don't like writing the last part of the g!

For instance, this sign from 1897 [1] contains many examples of it, even on the street sign on the top right corner.

For more examples, I suggest a browse through http://www.copenhagentype.dk/
