Chank created this rigid industrial font in 1993, naming it after the German granddaddies of techno music, Kraftwerk. Just as the band, the font has a mechanical rhythm to its design. Kraftwerk contains only caps; uppercase letters are slightly bolder than the lowercase. This useful display font is the predecessor to Liquorstore, one of Chank's most popular fonts.

The completion of the Computer World tour in the Winter of 1981, then precipitated an almost decade-long hiatus in Kraftwerk's live activities. The unit did not perform again until 1990; by this time, Flür had left the band three years earlier and was replaced by Fritz Hilpert. A few loosely played secret shows took place in Italy, which were the last to feature Karl Bartos.

For many years,rumors circulated that Kraftwerk was about to release a new album. But the band, which is notorious for its aversion to public interviews and publicity hype, didn't make information available on the album's due-date.

In the 1998 movie The Big Lebowski, there is a German techno-pop band called "Autobahn," which is a parody of Kraftwerk. When The Dude is going through Maude's albums, he pulls out the fictional "Autobahn" album, which is behind Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream And Other Delights, which is a real album.
