Katakana, block

by Inoue Yoshikazu · Website

Katakana, block is an experimental display face by Inoue Yoshikazu that reduces letterforms to rigid grid-based modules, giving each character the dense, encoded look of a barcode or machine-readable pattern. The geometry is uncompromising, with blocky shapes built on a strict square grid that prioritizes visual rhythm over conventional legibility. It works best at large sizes for headlines, posters, or digital art where the goal is to blur the line between typography and abstract pattern.
