Eiichi Kono designed the London Transport typeface New Johnston. Eiichi’s portfolio is London, he drew the font you see on every bus, every train, on timetables, posters, signs etc. His work is the handwriting for London.
We’re delighted to bring you Eiichi’s latest creation, a wonderfully clean sans serif which carries his name. The typeface was originally designed by Eiichi for the Center for Contemporary Art Kitakyushu under the name CCAArt Sans.
The new Kono family is a highly legible humanist design, its ancestry flowing from Gill via New Johnston to these beautiful, highly legible letterforms. The character set has been expanded and an ExtraBold added for additional impact.
The Kono family includes 9 styles with weights ranging from Hairline to ExtraBold, all with extensive language coverage, figure sets & features. Take them for a spin below.
