About

Akkurat is a grotesque sans-serif designed by Laurenz Brunner, released through Lineto before Element Type. It draws from the Swiss rational tradition while avoiding the coldness of Helvetica. Widely used in contemporary graphic design, it includes a companion monospaced family.

Classification
