The Netherlands has something like this: Rijksoverheid (state-gov) fonts.[1]

They were designed by Peter Verheul[2] and were used in replacing all the logos of Dutch government agencies with a new style that is easy to recognize, combined with the new Rijkslogo.[3]

For Non-Germans: This is the official font of the German government to download. There is license information, but it seems to be - just as the font - behind a registration wall. So I didn't go and see what the license is. Would be interesting to know if it can be freely used, however I don't want to sign up.
