About the family


Tansei takes its name from the Japanese concept of a composed, dignified, and well-proportioned form, a grace that comes from balance rather than rigidity. The design brings this idea to life by blending a clean geometric grid with subtle, organic touches where the lines meet, keeping the text smooth and highly readable.

Built for editorial, branding, and product design, Tansei offers a voice that is neutral yet deeply intentional. It finds the middle ground between mechanical perfection and human touch, staying out of the way without fading into the background.

About KU Type

The focus is on creating typefaces that express quiet sophistication through clarity and restraint. Each design begins with an appreciation for proportion, rhythm, and subtle detail, elements that allow typography to feel both modern and timeless. The primary goal is to craft letterforms that carry emotion through structure, communicating elegance without excess. These work is inspired by the meeting point between simplicity and refinement, where every design decision has meaning. Each curve and connection is considered to bring balance and poise, resulting in type that feels graceful, contemporary, and enduring. Our believe that true beauty in typography lies in precision, calmness, and the space between forms.
