Plainview Font

My latest and greatest, the widest and flyest. Plainview is large and in charge, crystal clear in ALL CAPS and lowercase. It contains glyphs for most latin-based European languages, and over a dozen stylistic alternates depending on your mood and

Juju Font

Juju was created for a wide variety of usages. There isn't a single curve in any of the 253 glyphs in each five styles. It works for your sports team, your space rocket, your CNC router, anything. Stack all five

Franklin Gothic Raw Font

When drawing a new font, there is a time when the final form is found – almost – but the curves are not slick and clean yet, that’s what I call the “raw” form. Raw – no sweeteners added! In

CA Oskar Compressed Font

CA Oskar came into being as a custom typeface for the international Traumzeit music festival. As a substantial part of the new corporate identity, it had to be characteristic, but also flexible in use. Starting with the design of compressed

Modish Font

Inky but neat. Flowing but controlled. Modish perfectly balances two predominant aesthetics of fashion and lifestyle: the casually cool hand-drawn look, and the pixel-perfect slickness of digital design. This synthesis might be due partly to how it was created: it’s

Bad Habits Font

Brother Radolf the Penitent enjoyed a peaceful life of prayer and penance… Until marauding heathens sacked his abbey and burned it to the ground. Now, there’s no more Mr. Nice Monk–he’s out to lash the unfaithful, wearing his Bad Habits.

Grandezza Font

“Grandezza” is my most elaborate script so far and it is the script for many countries that write in Latin letters as well. I designed it in 5 different parts, since I still think the “OpenType Format” is phantastic but

Hotline Font

Hotline is a monoline script designed by Locomotype. Hotline contains opentype features such as ligatures, stylistic alternates, swashes and much more. Published by LocomotypeDownload Hotline

1805 Jaeck Map Font

This “Pro” font is mainly inspired from the engraved characters of a German Map depicting Germany’s roads and parts of surrounding lands, edited in Berlin probably in the end of 1700’s. The engraver was Carl Jaeck or Jaek (1763-1808). The

Monkeytails Font

I don’t know what other type designers call those long swirling embellishment, but I call them “Monkey tails”. So when I decided on this version of my good old “Royal Bavarian”, I decided to call the new font Monkeytails. I

Nono Font

“Nono” is the nickname of my oldest son Konstantin. His little brother could not really speak yet, but he was always looking for him and said something to the tune of “wea is a nono”. From that time on I

Morning News Font

“Morning News” is the sister font of “Evening News” which I designed some years ago for use with my local newspaper “Abendzeitung”. “Morning News” is an adaption, a little bit rounder, which gives the font a much softer touch. The
