Informations
Kaio a new family of humanist-inspired sans serif fonts. Influenced by classics like “Gill Sans” and “Antique Olive”, but with a contemporary twist.
It takes its name from Master Kaio (KingKai or Kaiō-sama) of Dragon Ball Z, who embodies wisdom and power, but is also zany and grotesque. The generous and piquant shapes of the font evoke the character’s personality.
Available in 6 weights and a Display version, with more extreme shapes and round counter-forms, called “Krilin”.
