Author's note

Herbe Rouge is a free handwritten display font with spare, ink-drawn strokes and a Japanese calligraphic influence. Its letters combine long horizontal sweeps, narrow loops, and tall vertical marks, producing an open but restless silhouette. Stroke widths shift slightly, and the uneven joins keep the writing raw rather than polished.

For music packaging and restaurant branding, the wiry lines offer two different ways to suggest an independent, handmade identity. They also suit festival posters and editorial covers built around East Asian art, experimental fashion, or brush illustration, since the lettering can become part of the drawn material. Its strongest role is in titles that benefit from slender, gestural forms and surprising letter shapes.
