1 / 9About Kilau Font
Kilau's heavy, commanding letterforms draw from classical blackletter tradition but with a contemporary sharpness that reads as both theatrical and refined. Created by Majestype, the Indonesian typefoundry in collaboration with designer Erwin Indrawan, the font was developed for Coldiac's recent single artwork and has since become a versatile choice for designers working in bold, expressive typography.
With over 250 glyphs and a full set of OpenType alternates, you can swap characters to fit your creative direction. The kerning is tight and deliberate, so headlines sit cleanly even at display sizes. Use it for band poster designs, vinyl record sleeve typography, vintage wedding invitation suites, and hand-illustrated craft labels. You'll find it works equally well for album artwork, boutique packaging, or any design demanding visual weight without apology.
Kilau works best for projects that lean into drama and personality rather than subtlety. Designers building gothic aesthetic branding, alternative creative studios, or experimental music packaging will find the letterforms respond exactly as intended. The font includes commercial licensing, so you can put it straight into client work. It's available on Creative Fabrica.
