Kappa
W Type Foundry · Diego Aravena, Salvador Rodriguez
A slightly narrow modern sans serif in 36 styles across Display and Text subfamilies, designed with an extended weight range and broad OpenType feature support.
About
Designed by Diego Aravena and Salvador Rodriguez, Kappa runs from Thin to Ultrablack in both Display and Text optical cuts, each with corresponding italics. Its slightly condensed proportions and tall x-height aim to improve legibility at small sizes while fitting more text on the page. OpenType features include small caps, alternates, ligatures, fractions and extended language support across all weights.
Classification
Described by the foundry as a modern sans serif with both humanistic and geometric features, placing it in a hybrid humanist-geometric subcategory rather than a pure grotesque or geometric.
