Kiko Display

Kiko Display is an in-progress reverse-contrast display typeface dedicated to my rooster, who brings me much joy. From packaging to signage, I picture this typeface to have a wide-range of use for different types of creatives.

Infuse work with personality and interests while learning the practical skills needed to navigate the constraints of designing a system of letters. Completed during a 10-week duration.

Influenced by the translation mode of drawing, I crafted each letterform with intent—voluptuous shapes, curvilinear stems, and exaggerated serifs reflect the rooster’s physical traits. The reverse contrast adds eccentricity and bold visual impact.
