Downward Fall Font

Downward Fall owes its name to one of my favorite Opeth songs, called The Funeral Portrait. The song itself is an uptempo metal composition with rather dark lyrics. This peculiar combination, a mix of good and evil if you will,

Ichabod Font

This typeface was inspired by the 1820 classic writing “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. I created it to feel 200 years old and 2 hours old at the same time. To call it “timeless” would be cliche,

Sanseki Font

The term Sanseki (Japanese for Three [Brush] Traces) is used to describe three famous Heian period calligraphers: Yaseki, Gonseki and Saseki. Not that I would ever dream of comparing my messy brush-work with theirs, but the name stuck and I

Paradise Lost Font

Liquid Embrace Font

Liquid Embrace is a rough ‘n’ ready brush font. It was created using a Chinese calligraphy brush and Royal Blue Ink (I had run out of black…). Liquid Embrace is fat and in your face, making your message stand out

Dirrrty Font

Knockdown Font

Finding my long-lost inkwell was a lucky moment for me and it resulted in a whole bunch of brushy/inky fonts. The latest font to leak out of this well is Knockdown. It is a bold and wild brush face, but
