Kroptokin was created just by observing. At the time I was looking at a lettering book. A certain typeface caught my eye. The typeface was introduced by Helvetica, but it didn’t come off as anything like the Helvetica I knew. Something about the deep blackness somewhere seemed unrefined. I could see it clearly in my eyes. I don’t know if at the time, I was thinking about making a typeface with the unrefined characteristic I love or not… At first I traced it out neatly. I was satisfied just doing that. But then I felt like it was missing some kind of unrefined quality. I thought about what I could do to make it give off that unrefined quality that I love. After going over it in my head, I came up with making the vertical and horizontal angles appear as even as possible.
