Keno is an alternative alphabet for English created by DJ in 2002. His initial concept was to create an alphabet that only graffiti writers could read, so you could write a tag or something on a wall and the only those people who knew the alphabet could read it. As a result, he purposely wrote it in fat marker tag style, but it never used that version or the alphabet. Some years later he formalized it to look the way it does now, more like a font.
