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

Marydale Font

As a casual handwriting face, Marydale works well in diagram legends, cutlines or other display type, product packaging, movie credits—in fact, in any situation when the idea is to simulate the kind of informal hand-lettering you might find on a

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

Yuli Font

Yuli is my daughter – she was born on February 13th, 2014. I named this font after her, because there are some similarities. Both are bouncy and happy, playful and quirky, funny and happy – and above all: cute and

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

Running Hipster Font

Running Hipster is a tall, thin and all caps font with a funny name. The upper and lower case letters differ and can be mixed. You don’t necessarily have to use it to market your free range sheep woollen jumpers

Pastis Font

Pastis is an anise-flavored drink from France – and a lovely font as well. Pastis is an all caps typeface with a different set of glyphs for upper and lower case. Use it for books, posters, ads and product packaging.

Abeille Font

Abeille means bee in French. I am a little worried about the world’s bee populations, as whole colonies collapse due to monoculture and pesticides. I have planted many bee-attracting plants in my garden and even put up a ‘bee hotel’

Kitsune Tail Font

Kitsune means ‘Fox’ in Japanese. It really has nothing to do with Japanese foxes, but I am going to Japan in a few weeks, so I figured a Japan-inspired name would be perfect. Kitsune Tail is a messy brush font

Clochard Font

Clochard is a handmade, Bodoni-like font. It is a little loose, a little rough in places and a little uneven, but it all adds to Clochard’s charm. Comes with plenty of diacritics! Published by HanodedDownload Clochard

Clair De Lune Font

Clair De Lune is part of the famous Suite Bergamasque, written by Claude Debussy in 1890, and published in 1905. It means Moonlight in French, a kind of romantic name. The name is exactly what I had in mind for

Januar Font

Januar is a quirky handwritten font. This playful sans-serif will look so cute on your logo’s, cards, invites, and any other fun projects you are working on. This font also works perfectly when pairing it with a script font. Published

Scrawny Cat Font

Scrawny Cat is a bit of an unusual font: it was made with a brush and some China ink and has no real baseline. It is messy yet legible and in a strange way beautiful. The font is all caps,

Bocadillo Font

A Bocadillo is a sandwich. I guess I was craving one when I had to name this font! Bocadillo is a sweet Brush script. It is all caps, but upper and lower case are different and like to mingle. It

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

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….).
