Colporteur Font

A Colporteur is a peddler of books, newspapers, and similar literature. When I was young, we often got visits from colporteurs – mostly they wanted to sell us a very expensive encyclopaedia. I haven’t seen them for a while –

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

Vlinder Font

Vlinder means butterfly in Dutch. Vlinder font is a cute and curly typeface with fluttering glyphs and an overall happy feel to it. Use it for childrens books, posters and invites. Comes with flowery fields of diacritics. Published by HanodedDownload

Whale Song Font

I grew up with the ‘Save The Whales’ slogan: I remember watching the news and seeing little Greenpeace dinghies taking on huge Japanese whalers, and activists clinging on for dear life. I haven’t heard that slogan for a while: maybe

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

Languedoc Font

Languedoc is a former province of France. Most of its territory lies in what is now the Occitanie region. My family and I love camping there and I figured I’d name a font after it! Languedoc is a beautiful and

Blueberry Jam Font

Rabbit Escape Font

Lately I have been thinking about rabbits. Not that I have a particular love for rabbits – they’re cute, but also kind of stupid. But as Christmas dinner is approaching, I see more rabbit carcasses lining the shelves of supermarkets.

Starlight Lovers Font

I have always loved gazing at the stars. Too bad that you don’t get to see a true starry night these days – mostly because of light pollution. Starlight Lovers is a messy serif. It is hand painted, using a

Smooth Brushings Font

When I was painting this font, I suddenly had the movie Cool Runnings (1993, directed by Jon Turteltaub) in my head. I had to name the font, so I came up with Smooth Brushings. Of course, this font has nothing

Midnight Chalker Font

Midnight Chalker is, well, a chalk(ish) font and it was (fro the greater part) created around the midnight hour. That’s usually when I get my inspiration. Midnight Chalker is a tall, eroded font – all caps, but the upper and

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

Tartufo Font

A Tartufo is a truffle in Italian. I have to admit, I have never eaten one, so I couldn’t really tell you if they’re any good. I suppose they are, but you’ll have to find that out for yourselves! Tartufo
