Disloyal: A Bold Brush Font for Creative Projects
There I was, staring at a blank brand board, trying to figure out how to bring a new café’s identity to life. The client wanted something warm, approachable, and a little bit edgy. After a few rounds of sketching and brainstorming, I found myself reaching for a font that felt right—Disloyal. It wasn’t just about the look; it was about the feeling it brought to the table.
Disloyal is a modern hand brush typeface with a distinct personality. Its strokes are lively, almost like they were drawn with a brush in hand, giving it a sense of movement and energy. The curves are soft but confident, and the sharp angles add a touch of structure. It’s the kind of font that feels both spontaneous and intentional, making it perfect for brands that want to stand out without being too loud.
Testing Disloyal in Real Design Work
I started by placing it on a logo draft. The first thing I noticed was how it commanded attention without being overwhelming. It worked well as a headline font, especially when paired with a clean sans serif for body text. The contrast made the design feel balanced yet dynamic, which was exactly what the café needed.
As I moved into packaging design, I tried it on a coffee bag mockup. The font added a personal touch, making the product feel more authentic. On a label sticker, it looked natural, almost like it had been handwritten by the café owner themselves. It wasn’t just a font—it was part of the story.
For social media graphics, I used it on a post promoting the café’s opening. The font stood out against the background, drawing the eye and creating a sense of excitement. It worked equally well on a flyer and a poster, proving its versatility across different formats.
Disloyal in Brand Identity and Beyond
When building a full brand system, I found that Disloyal excelled as a display font. It wasn’t meant for long paragraphs, but as a headline or logo font, it shone. It gave the brand a unique voice, helping it differentiate from competitors who relied on more traditional fonts.
Readability wasn’t an issue in short-form text. On a business card, it looked sharp and professional. On a shop sign, it felt inviting and bold. It even held up on a homepage hero section, where it added visual interest without distracting from the message.
One of the things I appreciated most about Disloyal was its ability to adapt. It worked well with a variety of design styles, from minimalist to eclectic. When paired with a serif font, it added a touch of elegance. With a sans serif, it brought a modern edge. And when used alone, it was enough to make a statement.
Practical Tips for Using Disloyal
If you’re considering using Disloyal in your work, start by testing it in different contexts. Try it on a mockup, a social media post, or a packaging design. See how it interacts with other elements in the layout. Pay attention to how it affects the overall mood of the design.
Check the font’s features—does it include alternates, ligatures, or multiple weights? These can be useful for creating variations and keeping the design fresh. Also, make sure it supports the languages you need. If you’re working on a multilingual project, this can save you time and effort later on.
When it comes to licensing, make sure you understand the terms. Disloyal is PUA encoded, which means it’s easy to use across different platforms and applications. That’s a big plus for designers who work on a variety of projects and need flexibility.

As I wrapped up the café project, I realized how much Disloyal contributed to the final result. It wasn’t just about the look; it was about the emotion and connection it created. That’s what makes a great font—something that doesn’t just sit on the page, but speaks to the audience.
For any designer looking to add a touch of personality to their work, Disloyal is worth exploring. It’s a font that doesn’t just fit the design—it becomes part of it.
