Aeonik font is a modern sans-serif font family. London designers Mark Bloom and Joe Leadbeater built it between 2015 and 2018 and launched it on 30 Sept 2018 through Bloom’s London foundry, CoType. Their brief: make “the next Helvetica” a lifelong workhorse that looks crisp on a 12-pixel phone button, a 3-meter billboard, and a cheap Arabic receipt printer.
The font family
- Aeonik (core) – 8 weights + italics
- Aeonik Pro – adds Cyrillic, Greek, Vietnamese, and one variable font file
- Aeonik Mono – true fixed-width for code
- Aeonik Fono – looks mono, but letters have natural widths for smooth reading
- Aeonik Condensed – narrow for tight layouts
- Aeonik Extended – wide for loud headlines
Total: 186 font files, every weight from Air to Black.

Logo & look
CoType writes its name in Aeonik Extended Black, with tracking tightened 10 units. The letters themselves are wider than Helvetica, with an x-height 4.8% taller, closed apertures, a spurless ‘t’, a flat-topped ‘j’, and perfect circles for ‘o‘.
Hidden bits
- The Bitcoin sign has a one-unit overshoot – a nod to crypto volatility.
- A scrapped Hairline 18-unit weight lives only in lecture slides.
- Pirated v1.000 still carries a Day-1 “Ta” kerning crash – easiest bootleg spot.
- Buyers get a 64-page fluorescent-yellow specimen book and free variable fonts.
