Occupant Modern

Occupant Modern is Cyrus Highsmith’s exploration of the Didone or modern classification of typefaces. It was inspired by Kocho, a high-contrast Mincho-style typeface by the 20th century Japanese graphic designer, Ikko Tanaka, who got his inspiration from the 18th century Italian punchcutter, Giambattista Bodoni. Marie Otsuka drove the design of Occupant Modern’s italics and assisted with production.
