Author's note
Baoku font by Brew and Butcher Studio is a free faux Japanese decorative typeface that gives Latin letters a hand‑brushed, East‑inspired twist. The strokes feel like ink pulled quickly across paper—slightly uneven, a bit playful, and full of motion—so text looks lively instead of stiff or generic. Its chunky curves and squared corners create a bold, legible rhythm that stands out instantly in short words and punchy phrases.
Using Baoku, this free font shines on ramen shop branding, Asian fusion restaurant logos, menus, street-food packaging, game titles, and festival or sushi-night posters. It works beautifully at larger sizes where the brushy character shapes can breathe and show off their quirks. Pair Baoku with a clean, neutral sans serif for body copy to balance the strong themed personality in headings and logos.
