Kook
The Kook typeface is characterized as a geometric text typeface. While sharing a general structure with other geometric Perso/Arabic typefaces, the execution details are contemporary. The pen strokes have a slight angle. Some joints have breaks and sharp angles. Some letters have bends that are outside of the norm. All of these delicate details help to create a better texture in fine text and increase readability.
The Kook typeface is particularly well-suited for contemporary subjects such as advertising, user interface design, and social media content. While it is suitable for text, it may not be ideal for reading long passages.
