A playful marker-inspired script font brings a touch of fun! Easy to use and bursting with personality, Kakabus is perfect for branding, packaging & web design!
Kakabus is a script typeface that has been designed with user-friendliness in mind. It doesn’t need any OpenType features (like hidden ligatures, forced contextual alternatives, stylistic sets or contextual substitutions) to connect seamlessly. It feels connected because the letters slightly overlap, making it easy to use. The cursive forms of the characters (e.g. r and s) have been replaced by their upright alternates, further enhancing the font’s readability. The only exceptions in the features are fake small capitals, which you can use to set texts in all capitals.
The key characteristic oval stroke is defined by the round Centropen marker, whose tip is sharply terminated. Writing at a slight slant forms an oval with one sharp point. It happens when writing at slight angles, where the marker’s body is almost lying on the paper, and you write with the side of the tip. That way, the script can be written very quickly because the hand rests on a relatively large area of the paper and is confident. The stems are naturally bending when writing vertical strokes, according to the hand’s anatomy. When writing horizontal strokes, the rotation of the hand at 90° makes the stems a little darker than the vertical ones. A characteristic sharp bend is produced at the corners and eyes when writing rounded strokes.
