Almost Japanese Smooth

by Galdino Otten · Website

Almost Japanese Smooth is a decorative outline face from Galdino Otten that mimics the look of Japanese brush calligraphy through thick, rounded strokes with an open interior. The letterforms are Latin but styled to read as faux-Asian, landing it squarely in novelty territory for restaurant signage, themed events, and packaging that wants to suggest an East Asian aesthetic at a glance. It's a display-only face, best kept to headlines and short text where the gimmick works and readability isn't under pressure.
