Typography / Display Typeface

Keanu is a display typeface loosely inspired by west coast graffiti.

Keanu [keˈjɐnu]

From ke (“the”) +‎ anu (“coolness”); coolness is a symbol of happiness and romance in the warm Hawaiian climate.

I wanted something blackletter-esque that works big, with long stems and sharp angles.
