Author's note

Dwiggins Initials KK from Koeiekat is a free groovy display font with bold geometric capitals. Its letters reduce familiar forms to circles, triangles, and broad verticals. The silhouettes are stark and architectural.

It speaks most directly to audiences drawn to experimental modernism and retro-futurist graphics. Poster titles and music packaging can use its hard angles and circular cutouts as dominant graphic shapes. Fashion branding and arts event programs also suit the font's theatrical geometry.

Dwiggins Initials is free to use as long as it is not modified. It is based on an unnamed 1930 sketch by W.A. Dwiggins. It contains initial capitals only.
