TYPEFACE DESIGN: PP KYOTO BY PANGRAM PANGRAM

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

PP Kyoto is a multilingual typeface by Pangram Pangram that combines the architectural geometry of Western slab serifs with the fluid qualities of Japanese calligraphy. Heavy horizontal slabs, sweeping teardrop terminals, and prominent circular dots create tension between structural weight and organic movement, while nine weights and matching italics provide flexibility across display and editorial settings. Its 692 glyphs cover Latin, Hiragana, and Katakana, with optical adjustments and generous counterforms designed to preserve clarity across languages and sizes.
