The tail of Kola’s ‘Q’ is a completely-vertical stroke. The dynamic-placement of the stencil-bridges is particularly novel in Kola’s ‘K’, ‘j’, and ‘r’. The capital ‘I’ and ‘J’ have contrasting designs so that they are easy to tell apart. Many letters in the font have designs that are reduced the ‘n’ for instance, is almost geometric. In terms of proportion, Kola looks a bit like a contemporary condensed-style sans serif typeface. They tower above the ascenders, capital letters, and numbers, and are very legible and identifiable, even when the font is used in small sizes.
