Ex Kata Opaque

Ex Kata Opaque font by Vic Fieger is a free Japanese brush-style typeface with a bold, inky presence. Its strokes look like they’ve been painted with a slightly frayed brush—solid, opaque black with ragged edges that feel tactile and handmade. The forms stay legible while still carrying that irregular, organic rhythm you’d expect from quick calligraphic signage on paper or wood.

Using Ex Kata Opaque, titles snap into focus with a cinematic, Japanese-inspired mood that works beautifully for posters, ramen or sushi branding, indie comics, zines, packaging, and event flyers. This free font shines in larger sizes where its textured edges can really show. Pair it with a clean geometric sans in small text to keep layouts balanced and readable while Ex Kata Opaque does the expressive heavy lifting.
