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.

Good For

  • Editorial covers
  • Fashion campaigns
  • Posters
  • Album art
  • Cultural projects
  • Quote graphics
  • Streetwear graphics
  • Exhibition titles

Not designed for body copy.

Character Set

  • A–Z (uppercase)
  • 0–9
  • Basic punctuation

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.
