Author's note

Kremlinology is a free retro distorted display font with towering, tightly drawn letters and an aggressively angular silhouette. Its uneven stroke widths and abrupt cut-ins make the forms look roughly assembled, almost like lettering carved into sheet metal. The narrow spacing adds pressure.

Designers working with industrial, political, or underground themes could use it for music posters, game graphics, editorial covers, and merchandise. The repeated notches and blade-like corners can echo factory machinery, stark architecture, or fractured propaganda imagery, making the lettering part of the subject rather than a neutral caption.
