Author's note

Kenia, designed by Julia Petretta, is a free decorative display font with tall, tightly fitted letters and a distinctly theatrical silhouette. Broad rounded strokes narrow abruptly into fine joins, giving the lettering a fluid, pinched construction that feels both elegant and eccentric.

Fashion, music, and nightlife are especially convincing subjects for its dramatic proportions. It can shape poster titles, record packaging, and boutique branding with the ornate impact of custom lettering. The swollen curves and narrow gaps echo cut-paper shapes, linking the font to abstract illustration and repeating patterns.
