I released Krait on May 4, 2017. My goal was to create a contemporary display typeface that combined Art Deco influences with modern geometric principles. The design worked as a layered system, with a solid layer, an outline layer, and a fill layer that could be combined for offset effects. The numerals were a particular focus; I designed them to work well with the layering system, producing sharp and distinctive results. The character set included extended Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek.

Krait was released under a free commercial use license, but it came out at a time when interest in free fonts was waning. Despite the layered design, it ended up being one of my least downloaded typefaces. That lack of reception was disappointing and became a turning point for me, leading me to reconsider releasing new typefaces for free.

The family never included italics, and it was not expanded or updated after the initial release. In April 2024 I placed Krait into the public domain, hoping that by removing all restrictions, more designers might find a use for it.
