Attaboy

Brush, Display, Experimental

Attaboy is a posh word for ‘well done’. It was made with a broken marker pen to give it that ‘eroded’ look. It is an all caps typeface, but upper and lower case can be mixed. Attaboy comes with stylistic alternates for the lower case glyphs and all the diacritics you need.

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! What more could you possibly want?

Carte Blanche

Display, Experimental

Carte Blanche is a font I made in 2012. It 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.

Display, Experimental

Buntaro

Brush, Experimental

I am reading a great book by David Mitchell, called Number 9 Dream. One of the characters is called Buntaro, so I decided to call my new inky font after him. Like the book, Buntaro is quite unusual: it has no real baseline, comes with some strange characters, feels familiar, but surprises you nonetheless. It was made with a broken bamboo satay-skewer,…

Meowtant Kittens

Comic, Experimental

My youngest son Boris has his birthday in a week. He turns 8, and he loves to play with those Danish building blocks – you know what I’m talking about. Last year he developed an interest in Star Wars n(no idea how that came to be), so we bought him some Star Wars-themed blocks for his birthday. I am now watching the…
