Akhen, our new Egypto-Slab typeface with its tight spacing is perfect for asymmetrical layouts. Its rigourous design and short serifs make it a great choice for creating unique and visually appealing designs.
In the 19th century, in France as well as in Europe, the rise of printing and the industrial revolution favoured the emergence of new typographic aesthetics, including rectangular, so-called égyptienne typefaces. The name Akhen (short version of Akhenaten) is a nod to this typographic history, paying tribute to this period and the fascination with Egyptian civilisation.

OpenType features allow stylistic sets for capitals and lowercases, which were common in 19th-century layouts due to limited type availability. Below are two examples of OpenType features:

The Akhen Unicase feature offers various combinations, allowing for a minuscule capital mixture, similar to lowercase letters, or larger capital letters. By combining other features, it enhances the customisation of headlines and logotypes.

The Akhen Peignot feature combines capitals and lowercases, preserving the ascenders from the lowercase. This results in a fine mix of capital, small capital and lowercase sets.

With three widths each featuring eight weights and more than 850 glyphs per style, including capitals, lowercase, small capitals, various numerals, arrows, and other glyph variants, Akhen offers a comprehensive type family capable of meeting any contemporary need, be it unconventional or historically inspired.
