Kindred is an organic and hand-lettered sans typeface. It has a friendly and organic feel that works great for branding, social media, and marketing!

Kindred is inspired by hand lettering art - incorporating many letters that fit into each other and swashes that add a hand-drawn feel. The corners are slightly rounded to give it an organic and friendly feel. With so many alternatives and ligatures, each word can be customized to fit the needs of your project.

The Details:

• 34 Standard Ligatures: Enabled by default to create a hand-drawn feel! (Make sure your open-type features are enabled!) These can also be switched out depending on the look you're going for.
• Over 90 Alternatives: These are the perfect way to make the type look custom-made for your project. Add small details, change double letters, or add swatches that fit around surrounding letters.
• Language Support: Danish, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, & Swiss German.

Cosmic Turtle is the belief that the world is supported by a giant turtle. It is mostly found in Hindu and Chinese mythology and the mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

I had to think of this, as the idea of the Cosmic Turtle is referenced to in the 1982 book ‘A Wild Sheep Chase’ by Haruki Murakami - my favourite author.

Cosmic Turtle is a font that I made using a broken chop stick and Chinese ink. I was actually trying to create something scary for Halloween, but this is what came out and I quite like it.

Cosmic Turtle is a fat display font with rough edges, wobbly glyphs and a set of double letter ligatures for you to play with.

Hibagon is the Japanese equivalent of the Yeti from the Himalayas, or Bigfoot from North America. It is usually sighted on Mt. Hiba (Hiroshima prefecture), hence the name.

I have never seen Hibagon myself, even though I have visited Hiroshima several times.

Hibagon font is a nice, handpainted, all caps font with a mythical feel to it. It probably won’t scare you, but it will look good on anything that needs a bit of brushwork, or a bit of roughness.

Primrose Gardens is a lovely, loopy all caps font. Mix and match loopy capitals with plain jane lowercase letters for a whimsical vibe.

The loopy alternates are coded as uppercase letters for ease of use. Hit shift on b, e, k, m, r, w, and y for a loopy alternate.

Includes characters for Western European languages.

As a family, we love to go camping. We have a big Norwegian tunnel tent (4 season - with room for a wood stove), some really warm down sleeping bags and a primitive field kitchen. Even though our camping trips are usually devoid of luxury, the kids love them! We always choose campsites that are close to nature, like a national park or in the mountains.

A couple of years ago, we toured the southern part of England and one of our camping stops was in Exmoor National Park. Minehead is a small coastal town, not far from where we camped, so I named this font after a fond memory!

Minehead is a handmade display font. It was loosely based on Haettenschweiler.

Use it for your packaging, your tourist information leaflets and your book covers.

And do visit Minehead one day!

I used to live in the English Lake District - in a town called Ambleside to be precise. It was a nice time in my life, as living in the Lake District gave me the opportunity to go out every day and enjoy the beautiful nature!

Troutbeck is a small, old fashioned village on the narrow and hilly road from Windermere to Penrith. If you ever make it there, you will discover that the area is a walhalla for hikers!

Troutbeck font is a pleasing, handmade all caps font. It would look great on product packaging or book covers, or maybe postcards reading ‘Greetings from the Lake District’.
