Ehmbeecee
Mid-century inspired symbol typeface developed in collaboration with type design division, AKOFAType.
Meet Ehmbeecee, the first offering from the AKOFAType utility series of symbols created to help everyone from near-comatose-sleep-deprived art directors to project-burned creatives to the everyday occasional font fans looking for something different but with a familiar "face".

Sure on the front end the name is a bit funny but this OpenType workhorse is packed with up to 88 emblems, badges and crests that range from straightforwardly straight-laced to outlandish vintage gaudiness and back again all in a matter of keystrokes.

FUN FACT: Since we began this project with the development of the badge shapes, Ehmbeecee was originally going to be released as Badge-A-Rama or BadgeZilla!

Thankfully, we came to our senses when we realized that our catalog included emblems based from midcentury food packaging and crests from ancient heraldry materials.
