About this typeface:
Kautiva is a comprehensive modern sans serif family that includes true italics, small caps, and unicase variations. Kautiva was developed to be efficient in both text and display environments. Kautiva serves as a refreshing middle ground between serious geometric and overly humanistic design. This gives it a balance, allowing significantly more flexibility than is normally expected from a sans serif typeface. Versatile in its functionality, Kautiva is also extensive in its features. The OpenType format Kautiva Pro family is available for layout architects who want to take advantage of the numerous features of the format: from true small caps to a variety of ligatures and stylistic alternates, through proportional and tabular figures and complete support for a multitude of Latin-based languages, as well as Cyrillic and Greek scripts.
