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

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
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
Crayon Crumble Font
Crayon Crumble is exactly what it reads on the package: it was made using cheap crayons, since the cheapies crumble a lot. It is a fun, kiddie font, with a grown-up look to it. It has been used for packaging,
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….).

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
Plakkaat Font
Plakkaat is a fat brushed font, made with wide brushes and paint. Since it is a very easy to read font (and not to be missed), it is ideal for advertising campaigns, or demonstration signs.. This 2019 version comes with
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
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

Breakfast Burrito Font
Recently I have been watching some re-runs of Dexter. In season 1, Debra has a rough morning and complains she cannot make it through the day without eating a breakfast burrito. The name stuck, a font was born and the
