The “Kiez“ is an old school style font designed by Elena Albertoni in 2016. Inspired by shop and bar signage of the sixties and seventies, which can still be found today in the so called “Kiez“ in Hamburg St. Pauli or in one or another “Kiez“ in Berlin, which means neighborhood here. It also has a cinematic touch, again: think of the sixties and seventies or your favorite b-movie.
A playful font that works well with themes such as party invitations, comics or something to do with candy or toys. 3 different versions are available: Regular, Inline and Thin. And all 3 versions has ligatures for double lettering that with jumpy alternates. Play around with both ligatures and the different versions to get a look that suits you the best.
Ithaka is a display monospace handwriting font. The typeface is a distinct hand drawn font using a fountain pen quill ink style. The Ithaka name is derived from the legendary home of the hero Odysseus in Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey (Ancient Greek: Ἰθάκα). Ithaka is great for display work, invitations, writing, books, posters, logos and headings.
Ruutu is a square but queer font presenting odd faces. Supports multiple tongues.
Crayon meets serif!
A steady and legible handmade font with ligatures for double letter substitution. Of course the font is stuffed with international letters!
Hand forged with strength & precision – Forged is a bold, powerful typeface that stands strong. Handcrafted as if by a blacksmith, this typeface has its quirks and imperfections like any metalwork which gives it a unique character. The family consists of regular, outline, bevel and fill versions. All weights are versatile and can be used for packaging, logotype, copy and headings.
Strike while the iron’s hot!
Rough monospace type with cowboy boots: Here is Justice! Initially designed in 2004, Justice has been totally rethought in 2017 for the visual identity of Ceinturama. For this new version the fixed-width principle has been used to turn this typeface into a kind of construction game. A series of decorative accessories (systems of borders, arrows and ornaments) have been developed in order to make typesetting more playful.
Designed from the outset to be as comfortable on screen, on paper as on wall, Justice has aesthetic qualities suitable for handmade signage. It’s your turn to play!
