Handwriting

Open Source

Each character displays powerful strokes with determined character suggesting confident assertion and bold statement-making. This bold brush grunge style suits assertive content, strong branding, and designs requiring typography with unapologetic presence. The bold brush aesthetic communicates confident strength.

Zidan comes from the work of Syaf Rizal. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.
