Author's note

Penta Light, created by A. Kustov for Type Market, is a free modern geometric display font with lean caps and a cool early-digital mood. The letters feel stripped back to simple arcs and straight strokes, with wide open shapes, squared turns, and a few pointed joins that give the set a clean, schematic rhythm.

This free font fits poster titles, magazine cover lines, gallery identities, record sleeves, and title cards where a sparse, architectural voice works better than decoration. It also suits monograms and short wordmarks, because the caps carry a distinctive mix of rounded bowls and sharp angles that keeps even brief settings visually active.
