Author's note

DeKunst-Initialen by ingoFont's Ingo Zimmermann is a free fractured geometric display font. Broad, outlined letterforms keep a strong block silhouette, but sharp diagonal gaps and solid angular fragments repeatedly fracture their strokes into an assembled, cut-paper surface.

In product packaging, its hard-edged geometry can shape brand identities for experimental fashion labels, electronic music releases, or technology products. For posters and digital graphics, scattered shards echo cut-paper collage, glitch imagery, or faceted illustration, so the lettering becomes part of the picture.

DEKUNST was created in the PostScript era using vector-based type design. Typefaces are defined by contours describing the inner and outer forms of letters and their filled areas. DEKUNST was created by distorting and overlapping these lines and surfaces while preserving legibility.
