The Akko typeface family is the first new style from Akira Kobayashi in a very long time - and it is well worth the wait. Photo an industrial strength typeface like the Isonorm ™ style. Now blend this with a natural style like the Cooper Black ™ typeface. It was the concept of the blend of these 2 design concepts that influenced Kobayashi to draw Akko.

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

Akko has a broad range of weights, with choices including complementary italics and a new Condensed range. The Akko typeface household is available as a suite of OpenType ™ Pro fonts, permitting the automated insertion of small caps, ligatures and alternate characters. Pro fonts also provide a prolonged character set supporting most Main European and many Eastern European languages. And brand-new Paneuropean variations present support for Cyrillic and Greek.
