Leo was developed by Patrick Griffin, Hans van Maanen and published by Canada Type. Leo contains 12 designs and household package options. p > Leo is an economic magazine and book deal with indicated for usage in sizes suitable for immersive reading, with various cuts enhanced for different body copy size ranges, like footnotes and legal text. Designed with the specific intent of relaying information without calling attention to itself, this typeface puts itself directly on the 'function' side of the everlasting dispute about kind versus material.

The roman Leo typefaces were developed with as little ornamentation as possible, with wedge serifs, a high x-height and a skeleton somehwat rooted in the designers' reflections on the modern-day, post-war Dutch archetype. Instead of follow conventional designs with totally various forms, contracted widths and steep slants, the Leo italics provide naturally subtle emphasis in reading by closely relating to the forms, stance and rhythm of their roman equivalents.

The 12 Leo fonts consist of over 700 glyphs each, and consist of support for the vast bulk of Latin languages. Consisted of OpenType features are built-in small caps, lining and oldstyle figures in both proportional and tabular sets, superiors, numerators, denominators inferiors, ordinals, automated fractions, ligatures, and optional long descenders for ideal counterspace management in book and publication text layout.
