Design
Brush Dry Arcade up close
Brush Dry Arcade has upright, compact capitals whose rough outlines leave the letter shapes easy to read. The H has heavy verticals and a short crossbar, while the O forms a tall oval with an open center. The R pairs a rounded bowl with a firm diagonal leg, and the W folds into tight, uneven valleys. Stroke widths shift with the brush pressure, yet the black marks remain mostly solid. Small flecks cling to the edges and follow the strokes. Blunt, angled ends give short headings a brisk, handmade feel.

How this page was made. Brush Dry Arcade is a FontGenerator library font made with AI; before release its letters were read back one by one by independent automated checks. The design notes were written by AI from the specimen images and checked against them by a second, independent pass; every number on the page is measured from the font file.

About
About Brush Dry Arcade
Its lowercase sits low: the x-height is 68.1% of the cap height, where the median for display fonts is 74.3%, lower than 100 of the 117 other display fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 5.5% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 25.8% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 78 of the 117 other display fonts. Brush Dry Arcade runs 24.6% narrower than the median for display fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 65.7% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 74.2%). The o is an upright oval, 0.85 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.18 times the width of H. The O stops 4.7% of the cap height short of H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.
The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Ink covers 38.8% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 69 of the 117 other display fonts.
Its 148 characters include 105 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 53 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 46% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 15.3% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Brush Dry Arcade will not line up exactly.
Measured from the version 0.1.1 font file. Comparisons are with the 377 published library fonts measured on October 21, 2026, 118 of them display fonts.
