Kawaru™
Kobu Foundry · Brígida Guerreiro · 2020
A free variable display sans by Brígida Guerreiro, offering uppercase-only characters with a width axis and a built-in glitch effect for bold digital titling.
About
Released in 2020, Kawaru is built solely around uppercase letterforms and covers Western European diacritics, numerals and basic punctuation. The variable font format allows users to slide between condensed and wide proportions, and a secondary axis introduces a glitch distortion effect. Alternative characters extend the expressive range for headline and screen applications.
Classification
An all-caps variable sans designed primarily for bold titling and digital display use, featuring a glitch effect and adjustable width axis that push it firmly into the display category rather than a functional text face.
