## About Akronim

Akronim is a display typeface drawn like quick brush lettering and then cut through with fine inner lines, so that each stroke looks plaited from two or three strands. The letters slant to the right and taper to points; in the specimen the capitals carry leaf-like side strokes and the dot of the i becomes a small comma shape. Its maker describes it as handmade in Poland, and the name is the Polish word for acronym. The official text conjures braided hair and fields of wheat, which fits the plaited strokes. Akronim has one Regular style and is not a variable font. The 253 glyphs cover Western European languages and Central European ones including Polish, Czech, Croatian and Hungarian. Grzegorz Klimczewski is the designer, Fonty.PL the manufacturer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Festival and concert posters**: The stranded strokes give a headline movement, enough to act as the illustration.
- **Logos for crafts and food**: A single word in Akronim suggests braids, grain or foliage through its plaited lines.
- **Polish and Central European titles**: Letters such as ą, ę, ł, č and ő are present, so names from the region can be set in full.
- **Book and album covers**: Set large, the inner lines stay open and read as decoration within the letters.

## Things to know

- **Inner lines need size**: In the small sample at the foot of the specimen the strands almost close up. Use Akronim at display sizes.
- **One style**: Akronim has a single Regular font, without bold or upright variants.
- **Reserved Font Name**: The copyright notice reserves the name Akronim, so a modified version must be renamed.
