Halewyn Font
Heer Halewijn (The Song of Lord Halewijn) is a 13th century Dutch folk tale which survives in folk ballad. The story tells of a man called Halewijn, who lives in the woods and who lures pretty women with his songs
TT Berlinerins Font
TT Berlinerins is a contrast pair of typefaces which is basically our tribute to Berlin. Just like in the city itself where historicity and modernity are intertwined, the elegant script in our font family symbolizes the modern Berlin, and the
Urby Soft Font
Urby Soft’s rounded corners are complemented by Urby’s sharp-edged character and together they make up the Urby Collection. Although each has their own look, both families and their five weights each can be used interchangeably. The idea of Urby Soft
Cry Wolf Font
When I was a kid, I loved the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. I thought it was pretty stupid of the boy to trick the villagers into believing wolves are attacking his flock of sheep. But I also
Mandarin Whispers Font
In Dutch, a Mandarijn is a Tangerine. I found out that it is called a Mandarin in Australia as well! I really like Mandarins, so I thought I’d give them their well-deserved place in the spotlights by naming a font
Tangelo Font
We all learned in school: thou shalt not set script faces in uppercase! … unless, that is, they’re Tangelo. Tangelo is a fun, casual display script that could be more accurately termed a unicase – it borrows characters liberally from
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
Blithe Font
Bouncy, effortless-looking handwriting can put us at ease or make us smile. Blithe captures the casual flair of a felt-tip pen with clean monoline strokes. Laura Worthington has retained the distinctive quirks of real handwriting – such as characters that
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
I love blueberries. When my brother and I were young, we used to pick them in the forest by the bucket. Afterwards, we’d always look like victims of a serial killer, but it was all worth it, as nothing quite
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
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
TT Lovelies Script Font
Without any false modesty we can say that TT Lovelies Script is one of the most complicated projects we have ever carried out – there are 1115 glyphs, more than 2000 contextual alternates, 10000 kerned pairs and a large number
Hey Comrade Font
Hey Comrade is a very messy script font. It was made with a bamboo satay skewer (which I had soaked in ink). Hey Comrade would look good on book covers, packaging and in magazines. Comes with a 5-year plan of
