Boris Brush Font

Boris is my son: he was born on January 7th and he is as cute as can be. Boris Brush font is a very loud, very useful brush typeface, which I created using some fine-haired brushes and black paint. It

Dizzy Edge Font

My Dizzy Edge font is really not that dizzy! Actually it’s quite steady and legible – super good for packaging, greeting cards and perhaps even commercials for toys, candy, t-shirts, movie posters…yep, that list is long! What’s more interesting is

Garden Gnome Font

I am not really fond of Garden Gnomes, but this font is kinda cute and I figured it’d be a nice name. Garden Gnome is a very happy, easy to read Children’s Book font. It is bouncy, rounded and comes

Coal Brush Font

Coal Brush is a bit of a misleading name. It looks as though it was made with a brush, but it was, in fact, made with a almost dried out old marker pen. But a font named ‘dried out old

Face Your Fears Font

Face Your Fears was created using a brush, paint and ink and a lot of paper. Due to the horror-like nature of Face Your Fears, the font looks great on websites, games and – of course – halloween cards. It

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 –

Snippity Snap Font

Snippity Snap is a font made up of glyphs I cut out from black paper with some household scissors, then pasted onto white paper. When I was cutting out the shapes, my children asked me what I was doing, and

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

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

Mr Stickman Font

Mr Stickman is a happy clappy kind of font, inspired by an older font of mine called Oranjerie. Oranjerie is an all caps typeface, but Mr Stickman comes with lower case letters – AND – a Stickman Action Figures pack!

TT Walls Font

What do you use to write a price tag at a store or to design a wall menu in a cafe? What to choose – a marker or chalk? Now it makes no more sense to be torn apart by

Lille Snemand Font

Lille Snemand, in Danish, means Little Snowman – like the Little Mermaid, but then colder… Lille Snemand is kin to the original Snemand font, which is an all caps typeface, but unlike its big brother, Lille Snemand comes with lowercase

Prince Frog Font

Prince Frog started out as an attempt to ‘pimp’ Rabbit On The Moon font. It quickly evolved into an entirely different typeface with just a hint of ‘Rabbit’ in it. Prince Frog is a very happy, very legible font and

Porceleina Font

Porceleina is elegant, what more can I say? This handmade and hand drawn font comes with a heavy loadful of diacritics – and the Opentype contextual alternates makes sure that the font cycles between the six different…yes SIX different…versions of

Cinnabar Brush Font

Cinnabar Brush is a font named after a mineral – mercury sulfide to be precise. I quite like the name and the color, so naming a font after it made sense. Cinnabar Brush is a very bold, very outspoken brush

Junkyard Plush Font

Junkyard plush has six different versions of each letter! This is called “contextual alternates” which makes your text look random and like something authentic hand-made… which of course the font is! Included are ligatures for double-letters… if the contextual alternates
