Overview
Kostas is a raw, angular display typeface inspired by early Greek letterforms and carved inscriptions.
It feels hand-cut. Slightly irregular. Intentional.
Built for statements — not paragraphs.
Use it when you want something that feels philosophical, cultural, and slightly confrontational without being loud.

Minimal. Focused. Enough to speak clearly.
The Feel
Kostas sits somewhere between:
- Ancient inscription
- Bas-relief carving
- Early philosophy
- Hand-drawn rebellion
It doesn’t try to be polished.
It tries to feel human.
