Dx Grove
Dirty Line Studio · Hendra Maulia · 2022
A hand-drawn vintage serif with four styles, swash alternates and a condensed sibling – competent within its 90s-nostalgia lane but narrow in scope.
About
Dx Grove is a hand-lettered display serif from Indonesia's Dirty Line Studio, built around soft, irregular stroke qualities and decorative swash alternates that give it a period-appropriate warmth. The family spans regular and condensed cuts, each with italics, plus a variable TTF – more range than most marketplace novelty faces, though it remains firmly display territory. It suits signage, packaging and branding at larger sizes where the nostalgic grain reads clearly; it has no role in body text.
Classification
Hand-drawn serif with irregular stroke qualities and decorative alternates. OpenType features include swash, stylistic alternates and discretionary ligatures. Classified as display/serif; not suited to body text. The condensed variant extends its range beyond pure novelty.
