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

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

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

Tobu Font

Tobu means ‘to jump’ in Japanese. I came across a haiku by Matsuo Bashô which reads: The old pond… a frog jumps in… the sound of water (Furu ike ya… kawazu tobikomu… mizu no oto). The font is named Tobu

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!

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

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….).

Astromonkey Font

Astromonkey – here he is, all new, all excited to be alive! Astromonkey comes from outer space, where he has rubbed shoulders with the Star Trekkers, the aliens and Major Tom, who is still floating in his tin can. The

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

Mango Smoothie Font

Summer’s almost here, so it’s time for some mango smoothies! Mango Smoothie is a tall, all caps, hand drawn font. A little shaky, a little uneven, but with a big taste and some creamy glyphs. Comes with multi-language support. Published

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

Harimau Dua Font

A while back I created a nice font called Harimau. It is a childish font, with a happy feel to it. Harimau had some unusual glyphs, most notably the ‘g’ and the ‘j’, which, for some designers, were a little

Karben 205 Font

Karben 205 is inspired by the classic, no nonsense DIN, and has a form that follows its highly legible function. Based on a lozenge, it has a clean and pure geometry with even stroke weights. Karben 205 is available in

Badehaus Font

In the German city of Bad Neuenahr you can visit a spa called Thermal Badehaus. This beautiful art deco building has an even more beautiful art deco lettering covering its facade. I had to work with only a couple of
