Latikana

by Adam Rucki · Website

Latikana is a bold novelty sans designed to make Latin characters look like Japanese kana at a glance. Each letter is carefully constructed with sweeping curves, angular cutoffs, and bamboo-like strokes that echo the visual logic of hiragana and katakana. The result is a genuinely inventive display face that plays with cultural perception and works well anywhere a Japanese aesthetic is needed without sacrificing Latin readability.
