Festival De Achtertuin
Identity for a Festival de Achtertuin (“Festival the Backyard”), a music festival in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The website uses Kayak in four of its five weights. For browsers with support for variable fonts, the designers made use of this format, and included various animations and scrolling effects that interact with the weight axis of KayakVF.
Design: Koen de Graaf & Niels Bal. Web development: Robbert Lokhorst.
Animation on the festival website, playing with Kayak’s variable font for the date.
The “Line-Up” heading gets lighter (and narrower) as the visitor scrolls through the artist images.
The festival logo – with stacked and justified caps from various weights of Kayak, featuring mirrored and hyper-extended glyphs – cut in plywood in different sizes and used as stencil for a handmade eroded look.
