Carte Blanche Font

Carte Blanche literally means ‘Blank Ticket’. Yeah, yeah, it is also a very 007-ish catchphrase, but I wanted to give this elegant font a ‘stylish’ name and Carte Blanche popped up. All glyphs were hand drawn on a rather expensive

Aye, me lovelies, this be Scurvy Dog, a grand font! The letters were etched into a dead man’s chest with a blunt rapier, pickled in brine and covered in spew. Ye could be using this crafty penmanship for yer logs

Buntaro Font

New Beginnings Font

A new year has begun, new resolutions have been made. Fresh ideas are popping up and a new life is about to begin. All in all, I figured New Beginnings was the perfect name for my first font in 2016.
