'POP' Pattern Font

fonts that say Pop-Art

Kapitza Shop, a new online shop specialising in picture fonts and illustrations, has launched the highly versatile graphic elements font Pop, designed for creating unlimited numbers of graphic patterns.

Pop contains 320 graphic elements in 4 weights (Pop10, Pop20, Pop30, Pop40). Each Pop element of one weight fits on top of the other weights to create new variations. In addition to this all Pop elements can be combined with each other to create an unlimited number of patterns.

Petra Kapitza, one half of the Kapitza partnership talks about the inspiration for Pop: 'We have always been fascinated by patterns. Pop was inspired by the bold and colourful fashion textiles of the sixties and seventies, particularly by their graphic simplicity, bold colours and shapes. The result is nonetheless a very modern font which makes it easy to create an endless variety of patterns of all styles, both retro and contemporary.'

Petra Kapitza continues: 'We are really excited about how the Shop is beginning to grow. We only publish work that we think is of the highest quality and the feedback we have been getting from our customers has been really encouraging.'
