About Kelantan Block Batik
Kelantan Block Batik captures the bold, bright register of east-coast Malaysian batik cap — copper-block stamping that prints oversized hibiscus (bunga raya) blooms and large geometric repeats across cloth dyed a saturated violet. Wax resist leaves near-white outlines drawn around every blossom, and the palette runs vivid: turquoise, fuchsia, lime, and gold against the purple ground.
Unlike the muted browns of Javanese tulis, this is a maximalist, high-contrast floral tradition. The design system translates that into a confident digital language: violet grounds, rounded geometric type, and crisp resist-line outlines.
