Koto Launches CCType Foundry with Debut Font CC Timeline

Global creative studio Koto has launched CCType, a type foundry born from years of developing custom fonts for brand identity projects. The foundry's debut release is CC Timeline, a display serif that blends early British metal type, modernist Swiss and German photo-typesetting, and contemporary digital typography. CC Timeline features adjustable axes and OpenType capabilities, allowing designers to swap characters and adjust contrast while maintaining visual consistency. Koto's chief creative officer Jowey Roden stated that the foundry addresses the gap for typefaces designed for how brands operate in 2026, considering performance across websites, motion, campaigns, and products. CCType introduces a one-time purchase model to replace traditional licensing, aiming to make fonts more accessible to freelancers, studios, and agencies. The foundry plans to focus on stretch-testing type systems to ensure reliability in contemporary branding contexts. CC Timeline is available now via the CCType website.
