Henceforth Font

Henceforth is a hand-drawn, all caps didone-style typeface. It is a little rough, a little uneven, but lively and elegant as well. Personally I think it has a certain poshness about it: I mean, it wouldn’t look out of place

MonsterPie Font

Say hello to MonsterPie. This font brings the funny appearance of irregular designed characters together with the classic look of the Didone typefaces from the 18th century – that makes it a good choice for theme parks, movie posters, games,

Aardvark Dreams Font

Aardvark Dreams… Yes, I guess this is the first font ever to have an aardvark in its name! Aardvark Dreams is a bit of an unusual font. It is didone-ish in style, but the glyphs are slightly warped, giving them

Bodiam Font

Two years ago I went on a camping holiday in England with my wife and (then two) small children. The first stop was a nature campsite near the village of Bodiam in East Sussex. My son wanted to see a

Abeille Font

Abeille means bee in French. I am a little worried about the world’s bee populations, as whole colonies collapse due to monoculture and pesticides. I have planted many bee-attracting plants in my garden and even put up a ‘bee hotel’

Toverheks Font

A Toverheks in Dutch means ‘witch’ – well, actually it means ‘magic witch’ (it doesn’t translate well). The reason for this kind of weird name is the nature of the font: it reminded me of a book of spells –

Notaris Font

Notaris (‘Notary’ in Dutch) is a hand-drawn, all caps didone-style typeface. It is a little rough, a little uneven, but lively and elegant as well. Comes with an abundance of diacritics and, lo and behold, some end-ligatures as well. Published

Closet Skeleton Font

Some time ago I stumbled upon a little book called ‘De Sprookjeshoorn’ (‘Horn of Fairy Tales’) by Anton Eijkens (1920 – 2012). It was published in 1946 and contains several authentic and unique fairy tales – unfortunately unreadable to modern

Jambo Font

Jambo (‘hello’ in Swahili) is a cute and bouncy typeface. I guess you can say that it is didone-ish in nature, but comic would also be an apt description. Jambo has generous curves, swirls and curls and comes with a

Saffron Walden Font

Saffron Walden is a small market town in Essex, England. When I created my first ever connected script font, I decided that a ‘flowery’ name would be best (since that seems to be the most popular choice for connected fonts….).

Garden Bed Font

A couple of weeks ago, I found my ink well, which I thought I had lost. I decided (there and then) to create a bunch of inky brush fonts, which resulted in Dirrrty and Scrawny Cat. And now, Garden Bed.

Fraktura Font

“Fraktura” and “Fraktura Plus” is a set of classical Fraktur (Blackletter) in a modern interpretation. The two fonts differ in the amount of embellishments and can and should be mixed. I only sell the pair, but for a fair price.

Imbue is a new take on a condensed Didone. It's characters are elegant and memorable, and most importantly, capable of getting attention at large and small sizes. It was designed in the June/July 2016. Published by Tyler Finck Download Imbue
