Henceforth Font - Image 1

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

Flagellum Dei  Font

Flagellum Dei is Latin for ‘The Scourge of God’. It is a title given by later generations to Attila the Hun (406-453 C.E.). Flagellum Dei is also a rather scary font, which I made with the use of a  stiff

Yuli Font - Image 6

Yuli  Font

Yuli is my daughter – she was born on February 13th, 2014. I named this font after her, because there are some similarities. Both are bouncy and happy, playful and quirky, funny and happy – and above all: cute  and

Running Hipster Font - Image 7

Running Hipster  Font

Running Hipster is a tall, thin and all caps font with a funny name. The upper and lower case letters differ and can be mixed. You don’t necessarily have to use it to market your free range sheep woollen jumpers

Pastis Font - Image 8

Pastis  Font

Pastis is an anise-flavored drink from France – and a lovely font as well. Pastis is an all caps typeface with a different set of glyphs for upper and lower case. Use it for books, posters, ads and product packaging.

Abeille Font - Image 9

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’

Kitsune Tail Font - Image 10

Kitsune Tail  Font

Kitsune means ‘Fox’ in Japanese. It really has nothing to do with Japanese foxes, but I am going to Japan in a few weeks, so I figured a Japan-inspired name would be perfect. Kitsune Tail is a messy brush  font

Clochard Font - Image 11

Clochard  Font

Clochard is a handmade, Bodoni-like font. It is a little loose, a little rough in places and a little uneven, but it all adds to Clochard’s charm. Comes with plenty of diacritics! Published by HanodedDownload Clochard

Scrawny Cat Font - Image 12

Scrawny Cat  Font

Scrawny Cat is a bit of an unusual font: it was made with a brush and some China ink and has no real baseline. It is messy yet legible and in a strange way beautiful. The font is all  caps,

Bocadillo Font - Image 13

Bocadillo  Font

A Bocadillo is a sandwich. I guess I was craving one when I had to name this font! Bocadillo is a sweet Brush script. It is all caps, but upper and lower case are different and like to mingle.  It

Notaris Font - Image 14

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

Jambo Font - Image 15

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 - Image 16

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….).

Sensory Overload Font - Image 17

Sensory Overload  Font

Whenever I create a font using a Chinese brush and ink, it almost always comes out scary-looking. Sensory Overload is not like that: it is quite a neat and tidy font, even if it is a little rough around  the

Cortese Font - Image 18

Cortese  Font

As usual, I stumbled upon a great 1971 Italian movie poster when looking for something else. The poster for “La Morte Cammina Con I Tacchi Alti” (directed by Luciano Ercoli), was made by an unknown artist and comes with  a
