Reading From The East

by James Barnardo

Reading From The East is a novelty display face by James Barnardo that styles Latin characters to mimic the visual appearance of East Asian calligraphy, with angular strokes and decorative flourishes designed to evoke that association. It's a themed, decorative font through and through, built for headlines and short text in restaurant menus, event posters, or similar context-specific uses. Worth noting that this style of faux-Asian lettering can read as reductive, so it's the kind of typeface that calls for thoughtful, culturally aware application.
