DT Phudu is a display sans-serif typeface that combines elements of traditional Vietnamese hand-lettering with modern design principles. Inspired by billboards from the old days, DT Phudu focuses on readability at large scales and is easy to assess.
With support for up to 192 languages and special diacritical marks, DT Phudu is a versatile and inclusive font. It comes in 5 weights ranging from Light to Black, and the lighter weights are extended to increase readability compared to other narrow, lightweight typefaces. In addition, DT Phudu's details are carefully crafted to be cutting-edge but not sharp, making it easy to read at a distance.
The name DT Phudu, which means "revival" in Vietnamese, was chosen to reflect the font's blend of traditional and modern elements. While it pays homage to Vietnam's lettering styles of the past, DT Phudu is designed to fit modern-day styles and improve upon them. Its name also carries a sense of timelessness, as the characters can be read as "phù du," which means ephemeral.
Overall, DT Phudu is a unique and stylish font that is easy to read and suitable for a wide range of design projects. Whether you're looking to create an elegant and luxury logo or add a touch of sophistication to your design, DT Phudu is the perfect choice.

DT Phudu is a display sans-serif typeface inspired by Vietnamese hand-lettering billboards in the old days, that supports up to 192 languages and has special diacritical marks. It focuses on readability on large scales and is easy to assess because it's free for personal, commercial, or whatever uses. DT Phudu now consists of 5 weights from Light to Black, and the lighter it gets, the extended it becomes, for people to read it easier compared to other lightweight narrow typefaces. Some details are cutting-edge and not sharp for this purpose too.
Why I made this?
In the progress of learning and crafting types, I have always thought about what makes a Vietnamese typeface. If we rewind to the past, we can see our lettering styles on the billboard stores, when the artists adapted Latin typefaces and then added marks based on their styles. Among those, there were mostly all-caps sans-serif types played as descriptions or sometimes the store's names themself. To make a new easy to read and easy-to-get typeface, I mixed some of the research from the story above with letters. I don't want to just revive the types, I want to improve them, so they can fit the modern-day styles but still have "Vietnamese" souls in them. The typeface was named DT Phudu (phục dựng) - "revival" in Vietnamese, and has a meaning of timeless (quite the opposite of the name when it can be read as "phù du" - ephemeral).
