BT KIKO
About
BT Kiko is a reverse-contrast display typeface inspired by the strut and swagger of its namesake rooster. With thick horizontals, concave stems, and droplet terminals that echo tail feathers, it brings personality in every stroke. Drawn at a 135° angle from the natural tilt of my writing hand, Kiko embraces its quirks with pride. Designed for bold expression, it shines across packaging, headlines, signage, and eccentric visual identities.
