About Akira

Akira Expanded is an extended display sans by the type studio Typologic. Its letters are extremely wide and heavy, with tight counters and a strong horizontal stance, so a single word can fill a whole poster or banner.

It became a favourite for streetwear, music artwork, gaming and esports graphics, sports promotions and social media thumbnails, where it delivers instant impact. The designer shares a demo for personal use and sells a commercial license for professional work.
