About Biwa Font Family
Biwa is a straight-sided family of formally nuanced grotesk typefaces available in both OpenType and Variable Font formats. Biwa’s lighter weights feel subdued, cool in tone, and neutral, while the heavier weights are more robust and full of personality. Developed over the past few years by Ian Lynam and James Todd, the 14-member Biwa family and the accompanying 14-member Biwa Display family are paeans to the immediate moment when phototype arrived on the global scene — partially smooth and partially machined. Biwa and Biwa Display are neutral in tone, have enlarged x-heights, and look amazing on-screen and in print. Each weight is designed to be highly readable in print and on-screen. The italic variations are true italics, having a single-storied italic a and have been designed for smooth, fluid reading and text-setting.
Biwa Variable and Biwa Variable Italic combine the entire Biwa and Biwa Display family, containing both weight and optical size axes so that you can adjust them to look exactly the way you want in any situation.
Lovingly spaced and kerned, the Biwa family works equally well for text typesetting and for display design work. Languages supported include Western European, Central, and South European as well as Vietnamese. The entire Biwa family is comprised of a range of weights and a matching display family that features rounded terminals for large-scale display work.
An agate version of Biwa Black is provided for free.
