Kosetsu Display Font is an all-caps modular display typeface designed by Archie Heaslip and released by Signal Type Foundry. Built on a strict geometric grid, the typeface is constructed entirely from a single isosceles right-angled triangle, resulting in bold, angular letterforms with a strong graphic presence.
The design balances influences from broad-nibbed calligraphy and retro 8-bit digital aesthetics, merging handcrafted sensibility with a distinctly modern, pixel-inspired structure. Varying letter heights introduce a dynamic, syncopated rhythm, while alternate glyphs allow for flexible and expressive typographic compositions.
The name Kōsetsu, meaning “snowfall” in Japanese, reflects the typeface’s origin in a board game concept where triangular forms symbolized mountains and falling snow. This conceptual foundation reinforces the font’s geometric and modular nature.
Kōsetsu is available in four styles—Solid, Outline, Grid, and Incised—all derived from the same underlying system. Designed primarily for display use, the typeface is well-suited for headlines, branding, posters, and experimental graphic work where a bold, structured, and distinctive visual identity is desired.
