Killernuts specimen from Dharma Type

A wood type display face whose serifs are drawn to resemble brush strokes, blending Western letterform structure with the gestural energy of Japanese Shodo calligraphy.

About

Built on wood type proportions, Killernuts replaces conventional serifs with forms that echo the tapered, expressive marks of Japanese brush calligraphy. The result is a Latin display face with an unusual cultural charge, suited to posters, logotypes and headline work where strong personality is required. The fusion of Eastern brushwork and Western wood type gives it a distinct visual tension that sets it apart from standard decorative serifs.

Classification

Classified as display due to its wood type origins and highly expressive serifs rendered to resemble brush strokes; the serif treatment draws from Japanese Shodo calligraphy, placing it in decorative rather than conventional serif territory.
