HK DISPLAY KK Font
Author's note
HK Display KK by Koeiekat is a free retro display font with broad, solid capitals and strong geometric construction. Straight sides meet deep circular curves, recalling early modernist posters and machine-cut signage. Several forms are sharply simplified, including the triangular A, open G, and sweeping diagonal leg of the R.
Its blunt silhouettes suit music posters and club merchandise, but they can also give cafe packaging or storefront branding a compact period accent. The mix of strict geometry and eccentric joins is especially convincing for projects that borrow from 1920s display lettering or later Art Deco revival graphics.

HK Display KK is based on an alphabet designed by Henk Kolkmeyer for a poster for the Veiligheids Museum in Amsterdam. It contains capitals only, with style combinations assigned to keys 1 through 8 and the letters A, K, and S in the lowercase range.
