Léman’s design is inspired by the grotesque type styles found in the mid 19th through early 20th century in Germany, England, and the US. The font family is available in seven optical sizes, drawing a bridge between between Bauer’s Breite Grotesk at text (8pt) sizes, and Berthold's Royal Grotesk at display (72pt) sizes. Léman supports extended Latin, including Pan-Nigerian and Vietnamese, as well as extended and localized Cyrillic. Each of Léman's 63 styles is available individually or together in a single-file variable font

Kinzig is a heavy and narrow blackletter inspired by the expressionistic Fraktur styles of early 20th century Germany and their contemporary use especially in music. The title of 1970's "Hard, Heavy, Mean, & Evil" by Negative Space served as the directional apothegm for the typeface. Kinzig disregards legibility even at display sizes, and contrasts a modern, digital sharpness against its painterly historical model, featuring marker-like overlaps, a compressed width, tall x-height, subtle waisting, and tight letterspacing
