Flipflop Font

This font makes the impression to be a blackletter font (Fraktur) but it really only is little squares and triangles stuck together in a flip or flop way to form the glyphs. Only a few times did I have to

Dylan is a Sans typeface in the best American tradition. In order to keep corners open and to make the font more readable in small sizes it has deep cuts where curves join straights. I designed 8 finely tuned weights

Retrograde is round, simple, and crystal clear. It reproduces incredibly well at any size, and was created with the physical world in mind. Each character is the same width, in both regular and bold weights, which makes applying it in

Monem Font

“Monem” is the word for “the smallest significance-carrying part of a language”. I thought that was a good name for a clean, straightforward Sans typeface. “Monem” is very sturdy and usable for lots of occasions. I am using this font

Edito Font

“Edito” is a completely new body copy-font. The special thing about this font is, that all serifs have the same height. So no matter if you take the thinnest cut (A) or the fattest (F), you will always have aligning
