Infos
PP Kyoto is a slab serif that naturally bridges tradition and modernity. With a solid structure, distinctive features, and expressive character, it was designed to stand out, especially in headlines. Its bold slabs contrast with soft, teardrop terminals, while prominent dots create a rhythmic flow, adding energy to the composition.
The design remained on the shelf for years, slowly maturing into its current form. It all began as a study of Japanese writing systems, an exploration of how a slab serif could visually connect with the Japanese writing systems. The result is a unique typeface, shaped by trial, error, and persistence, now brought fully to life.
The family includes 9 weights, from Thin to Heavy, each with matching italics, maintaining consistency and presence across applications. What truly sets PP Kyoto apart is its range: beyond a full Latin character set, it offers complete support for hiragana and katakana, with a carefully considered approach to bilingual typography. A broad set of Japanese punctuation allows for expressive and practical use in multilingual layouts.
With 692 glyphs, stylistic alternates, including an alternate Q, and meticulous attention to detail, PP Kyoto offers both control and flexibility. It’s a typeface built for designers who seek visual impact with technical consistency, in projects that demand both elegance and extended language support.

PP Kyoto is a bold and expressive slab serif typeface that gracefully balances traditional influence with modern clarity. Designed to command attention in headlines, branding, and editorial design, it pairs strong slab serifs with soft teardrop terminals, creating a rhythmic visual flow that feels both structured and soulful. What sets PP Kyoto apart isn’t just its form, it’s its origin story. Born from a typographic exploration of Japanese writing systems, the typeface began as a conceptual study and matured over the years into a robust design system. Its goal? To bridge the aesthetic of Latin slab serifs with the calligraphic spirit of hiragana and katakana, creating a typographic voice that resonates across languages and cultures. With 9 weights (from Thin to Heavy), matching italics, and a full Latin + Japanese character set, PP Kyoto is engineered for bilingual typography, offering seamless integration in multilingual layouts. It includes support for hiragana, katakana, and a wide array of Japanese punctuation, enabling rich typographic expression and professional-grade typesetting in both scripts. The typeface includes 692 glyphs, with thoughtful stylistic alternates (including a refined alternate Q), making it ideal for projects where design nuance and technical consistency matter. Whether you're working on international branding, editorial publications, or digital interfaces that require cross-cultural fluency, PP Kyoto delivers both elegance and precision. More than just a display font, PP Kyoto is a story in form, a slab serif evolved through trial, craft, and cultural curiosity. For designers who seek authenticity, beauty, and global functionality in their typography, this typeface is built to resonate.
