Aquawax's logo design roots are obvious in its design details, from the blade-like tail of the Q and the fin-like right leg of the K to the intentionally reversed uppercase W.

Created as a custom brand typeface in 2008 by Francesco Canovaro, Aquawax is one of Zetafonts most successful typefaces - having been chosen, among the others, by Warner Bros for the design of the logo for the Aquaman movie. Its logo design roots are obvious in the design details, from the blade-like tail of the Q and the fin-like right leg of the K to the intentionally reversed uppercase W, as well as the rounded edges softening the stark modernist lettershapes. While this details make the typeface extremely suitable for logo and display design, especially in the bolder weights, the open, geometric forms of the letters and a generous x-height make it extremely readable at small sizes, making it perfect for body text and webfont use.
In 2019 the family was completely redesigned by the Zetafonts team, expanding the original glyph set to include Cyrillic and Greek and adding three extra weights and italics to the original six weights, for a total of 27 weights (including 9 pictograms). The restored and revamped version, named Aquawax Pro, also includes full Open Type features for Positional Figures, Stylistic Alternates, Discretionary Ligatures and Small Caps, and adds to the typeface new alternate glyph shapes, accessible as Stylistic Alternates. Optimized for maximum screen readability, it covers over 200 languages that use the Latin, Cyrillic and Greek alphabet, with full range of accents and diacritics.
NB: Original Aquawax styles are included in compatibility packs of matching weights.

The right one for you
The secret for a good typeface choice is all in the connection to the brand voice.
Brand voice: the typeface should reflect it, at the same time being easy to read and not too decorative. You should also consider various things, from your audience to the overall tone of the website, when choosing the right typeface for your finance website. Doest this make it an almost impossible task? Don't worry. We have some tips that can help. The first step is to understand the voice of your brand. This will help you to narrow down the typefaces that are right for your finance website. If your brand is serious and authoritative, you will want to stay away from playful or decorative fonts. Instead, look for fonts that are classic and easy to read. On the other hand, if your brand is more modern and youthful, you can afford to be a little more playful with your font choices. Just make sure that the font is still easy to read. Once you have a good understanding of the voice of your brand, you can start to narrow down your choices. There are thousands of fonts out there, so it's important to be selective. A good place to start is by looking at the fonts that are already being used on similar finance websites. This will give you a good idea of what is popular and what is working well. Once you have a shortlist of potential fonts, it's time to start testing them out. The best way to do this is to create a mockup of your website using the different fonts. This will allow you to see how the fonts look in context and how easy they are to read. It's also a good idea to ask for feedback from friends or colleagues. They may be able to point out things that you haven't noticed. Finally, don't forget to consider the overall tone of your website. The font you choose should complement the other elements on your site. If your website is serious and professional, you will want to choose a font that reflects that. On the other hand, if your website is more fun and playful, you can afford to be a little more daring with your font choices. Ultimately, the best way to choose the right font for your finance website is to experiment and test different options. By taking the time to understand your brand and your audience, you can narrow down the choices and find a font that works well for your site. But don't forget print materials! The same rules apply when choosing fonts for your printed collateral, such as business cards, brochures, and flyers. Again, you'll want to consider the voice of your brand and the overall tone of your materials. And don't forget to test out different fonts to see which one looks best. Sometimes we can have a typeface that looks great on screen but doesn't translate well to print. A good trick is to find typefaces that have both a text and a display version. This will make sure you can use the same font across all of your materials, both online and in print. Type design is a complex and fascinating thing. In the past years we have seen amazing typefaces being created, from the revival of old classic serif typefaces to the creation of new modern grotesque typefaces. Choosing the right one for your brand requires a lot of research, understanding and testing.
