The Akko typeface family is the first new style from Akira Kobayashi in an extremely long time - and it is well worth the wait. Picture a commercial strength typeface like the Isonorm ™ style. Now blend this with an organic design like the Cooper Black ™ typeface. It was the concept of the combination of these two style ideas that influenced Kobayashi to draw Akko.

„ My preliminary concept was to create a sanserif type with a ‚ soft-focus' result," states Kobayashi. „ From here, the design evolved into 2 households, the robust and structured sanserif Akko and soft and friendly Akko Rounded."

Akko has a vast array of weights, with choices including complementary italics and a new Condensed variety. The Akko typeface household is available as a suite of OpenType ™ Pro font styles, enabling for the automatic insertion of little caps, ligatures and alternate characters. Pro typefaces also provide an extended character set supporting most Main European and lots of Eastern European languages. And brand-new Paneuropean variations present assistance for Cyrillic and Greek.
