Description

Kawasemi is a bold, expressive brush script inspired by Japanese calligraphy. Created from experimental sketches drawn with a Crayola marker, it captures the raw energy and fluid hand movements of traditional brushwork while maintaining refined control. Kawasemi brings the authentic spirit of the brushstroke to your designs.

This calligraphic handwritten typeface features a selection of character alternates, ligatures, and expressive swashes, giving you room to play with word shapes and create unique, dynamic compositions. The kerning has been meticulously adjusted by hand across the entire character set to ensure smooth, natural connections. While some dynamic overlaps may occur with certain swash combinations — an inherent and charming quality of lively, handcrafted scripts — the overall flow remains intentional and expressive.

Designed primarily for large-scale applications with just a few words or even a single word, Kawasemi excels in logos, titles, branding, editorial headlines, and anywhere a strong handmade soul is needed. Its tight, energetic presence adds a distinctive artistic flavor to creative projects.

I hope this typeface inspires your next design. Enjoy experimenting with its forms and layouts! For special requests regarding additional alternates, ligatures, or swashes, feel free to contact me.
