Coolkit first saw the light of day in January 2022. It started as a three-week semester project at my Alma mater, UMPRUM (Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague). Not a single curve was left untouched, but the core idea stayed the same – building weight through the outline.

Coolkit version 0.1. Up to a certain point, as long as your marker isn’t too chunky or bleeding everywhere, Coolkit works like a stencil font. That’s why the outcome wasn’t just a bunch of risograph prints, but a stack of stencils too.

Loads of fun. The slow build-up until POP! Coolkit shares it all with these iconic bubble gums. The typeface construction mechanically grows from thin hairlines, just like an expanding bubble. Source

Why make it complicated when it can be easy? Just segments of circles and lines – that’s what the entire Coolkit is built from.

Let it glow! Let it glow! Summer street nights, neon signs, good drinks, and fun — that’s what Coolkit lives for. Stack a few weights on top of each other and BOOM — instant neon vibes.
