From the foundry
Kuro is a precisely rendered sans-serif type family that blends modern geometric forms with subtle detailing to create a charming, straightforward, and versatile design. The lighter weights bring a contemporary touch to body copy while the bold weights add strength of character to branding, identity, video games and packaging. Features eight weights, over 450 characters per style, manually edited kerning and comprehensive OpenType features. Kuro takes influence from RPG and multiple choice games, particularly the Portal video game, and explores game theory. This connection to strategic decision-making and mathematical precision informs the typeface's carefully considered letterforms.
