Kake

From Dave Rowland Type

Kake is a typeface in the style of a hand-painted sign outside a temple in Ubud, Bali. The unique hand-made aesthetic can be increased using alternates to avoid the monotony of repeating letters. The attention to design details makes for type that looks like it isn’t type. Kake is full-on display typography. Food packaging, magazine headlines, and fitness gear! It’s legible for small blocks of copy, but don’t go setting essays in it. Unless you really want to… in which case, go for it.
