About the family


Warugaki captures the restless energy of mid-century Japanese design and channels it into a condensed, rough-edged sans serif. Each letter feels carved rather than drawn, giving the typeface a handmade immediacy that’s both compact and bold. It’s a look that recalls storefront signs, silk-screen posters, and improvised street lettering—raw but still sharply legible.

This makes Warugaki a natural fit for projects that thrive on grit and authenticity. Use it on book covers or exhibition graphics that dig into cultural history, or in documentary titles that call for a lived-in voice. In music, its dense rhythm works on album art, gig posters, and festival branding where space is tight but impact is everything. For packaging, it lends a tactile honesty to craft beer, street food, or streetwear labels, while still holding up in signage for indie shops or creative venues.

Warugaki supports a wide range of languages, making it versatile across regions and industries. Whether you’re building a cultural identity, shaping an independent brand, or designing graphics for subculture scenes, Warugaki delivers a compact punch of character without sacrificing clarity.
