Jambo

Comic, Display, Kids

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 jumbo amount of diacritics.

Blue Sheep

Comic, Kids

It’s been a while since I named a font after a sheep, so I figured it was about time. The Blue Sheep, or Naur (Pseudois nayaur), is actually an existing species of sheep. It is found in the Himalayas and is a major food for the very rare snow leopard. Peter Matthiessen wrote a book about it called The Snow Leopard. My…

Snippity Snap

Display, Kids

Snippity Snap is a font made up of glyphs I cut out from black paper with some household scissors, then pasted onto white paper.

Butterfly Ball

A font I made ages ago! The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper’s Feast is a 70’s concept album/rock opera by Deep Purple’s Roger Glover.

Sugary Pancakes – ahh, my kids love them. We don’t make them too often, as they are ‘energetic’ enough as it is. This calorie-rich font is ideal for Children’s Books and posters: it is fun, bouncy, very legible and full of character. Comes with a topping of diacritics and a stack of happiness.

The Cats Whiskers

Comic, Kids

A font I made a long time ago… Ok. Another font with cats in it. I asked my son, Sam (age 4), to draw some cats and I have to say: I’m very proud of what he created. The tiger I asked him for became a spinosaurus mom with her baby and I also got some happy hearts thrown in for good…

Yellow Balloon

Comic, Fat, Kids

Yellow Balloon is a typeface I made a long time ago. It was named after my (then) two year old son’s favorite book: The Yellow Balloon by Dutch author/illustrator Charlotte Dematons. Every night before he goes to sleep, he wants to read the book and manages to find the yellow balloon on every page. Yellow Balloon is a cartoonesque font with an…

Lille Snemand

Comic, Kids

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 glyphs. It is a very legible font and has that ‘unevenish’ look – making it a great typeface for packaging and books.
