Designed by Dave Rowland, Kake is a brush display screen font published by Schizotype Fonts.

Kake's upper case letters are inspired by a hand-painted indication outside a temple in Ubud, Bali. The remainder of the font is made to fit the style.

The hand-made visual is increased by the application of contextual alternates, which automatically swap glyphs to alternate types to prevent the monotony of duplicating letters. The quantity of variations for each glyph depends on letter frequency in English; there are more a's and e's than q's and j's. Even with only two variations of some glyphs, the programs makes certain that no two matching glyphs are ever beside each other, and for the most part they will rarely be even two letters apart. This all produces type that looks like it isn't type. The glyphs bounce and subtly change weight with willful abandon.

Some of the letters on that initial indication are somewhat quirky. If you're not a fan you can engage stylistic alternates or stylistic sets to change the C, G, S, Y, c, s and y glyphs to a less idiosyncratic kind. These variations still have variations themselves, so with contextual alternates on, they will look as random as all the rest.

Case sensitive kinds and automated portions are consisted of, as are 98 accessories, varying from the helpful to the (let's simply say) esoteric. These can be accessed from the glyph combination. I understand you have actually probably never understood you require an anchor, a fuel pump, skull and crossbones and chess symbols in the very same font style before, however that does not suggest you don't!

Kake is full on screen typography. It's understandable for little blocks of copy but don't go setting essays in it. Unless you truly wish to… … in which case, opt for it.
