Inspiration & Concept
Krakato Fraktur draws its inspiration from the historic elegance of Fraktur scripts, reimagined through a contemporary lens of destruction and resilience. Its fractured strokes echo volcanic eruptions and geological cracks, symbolizing both chaos and creation. The design carries the spirit of medieval manuscripts, yet its broken textures bring a distinctly modern and rebellious twist.
The name—Krakato Fraktur—is a tribute to the mighty Krakatoa volcano, reflecting explosive energy, power, and a raw aesthetic that leaves a lasting mark.
