 56 font families by Akira KobayashiITC Woodland is the work of Japanese designer Akira Kobayashi. It is based on Kobayashis hand lettering with a flat brush or square-edged pen. I wanted to design each weight to act its own part, says the designer. The light version tends to look almost fading in small sizes, but the heavy weight is as black as Cooper Black. The cheerful ITC Woodland is ideal for graphics, greeting cards, correspondence, and other applications requiring a light touch.The Metro Office family is designed after the model of the original sans serif family Metro No.1 produced by W.A. Dwiggins and Mergenthaler Linotypes design studio during the late 1920s and 1930s. A distinctly new interpretation of the sans serif idea, Metro was a thoroughly American sans serif when it was released. However, over the ensuing decades, it became a favorite the world over. Moreover, it is one of the first humanist sans serif typefaces designed.
