Kunst Imprint

The idea for Kunst was seeded by a visit to Amsterdam back in 2014, where I met up with David Quay, a type designer and co-founder of The Foundry. David was responsible for digitising legendary designer Wim Crouwel’s classic typeface Gridnik, of which Kunst was partially inspired by.

Influenced by queues from a European brutalist design aesthetic, Kunst strives for form dominated by pure geometric precision, utilising 45° angles based on a strict grid. The name “Kunst” is a word for art in Estonian, Danish, Dutch, German, and Norwegian languages.
