Kyoto's Features
Bold slabs.
Soft teardrops.
Impact with grace.
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.
