Hearken
Buy NowHearken
The friendliest condensed typeface you’ve ever seen. Bold claim, maybe. At least, that’s the goal. I made Hearken as an alternative to the much wider Cooper Black. Other than being quite narrow, it contains a variable weight axis.

Quirque
Buy NowQuirque
A wild and wacky monospace pixel(ish) font with no descenders! Three styles and a variable BEND axis to control all corners/detail. Wider language support is still in development.

Verbose
Buy NowVerbose
A sturdy, clean, mechanical looking font in a variety of widths. While it contains very nice lowercase forms, the intended use was for ALL CAPS. So I threw in some small caps, too. It’s versatile, even in only one weight.

Cinegenic
Buy NowCinegenic
Made for titles. Palindromes optional. While this was inspired by (and named for) my love of movies, this is a headline typeface made for wherever you want to put it. The ultra condensed width means Cinegenic is more of a display font, begging for a large size. The italic and backslant angles are 9º and -9º respectively.

Birdo
Buy NowBirdo
Intersected. A semi-condensed, open inline typeface for display settings. Proportional and tabular figures. Stylistic alternates. Wider language support is still in development, so use the tester to preview it.

Def Sans
Buy NowDef Sans
Def Sans is your standard neo-grotesque. It’s subtly different from most other sans serifs that you’re used to. The goal was to have it not draw attention to itself. To be unobtrusive. It gets out of the way so words can be clear, sturdy, neutral, and familiar. Basically I wanted to make a better Helvetica.

Rewrite
Buy NowRewrite
For lovers of the written word, and those unafraid of strong serifs. Rewrite draws inspiration from Century Schoolbook to Clarendon to Sentinel and everything in-between. This project already spans multiple weights from ExtraLight to Black. The goal amount here reflects future plans for overall improvement and drawing italics from scratch.

Noted
Buy NowNoted
I wanted legible scribbles. A “handwriting” font that’s readable but also not comic sans? This is it. I made Noted originally to function as dialogue/thought text in a comic I was working on. I never finished the comic, but I finished the font. It works well. It’s UNIWITH, so while it is proportionally spaced, it’s widths stay the same across all weights. Black takes up the same amount of space as Light, which is awesome. It bounces along the baseline.

Furrow
Buy NowFurrow
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. Inspired by a desire to rough up a perfectly clean sans serif. Furrow is perfect for getting attention, whether you’re using it for headlines or…stickers? Movie titles? Maybe don’t set a whole paragraph in Furrow, it is very much a display font. With contextual alternates activated, your words will cycle through all four alphabets. This is also super useful for double letters (“TT” LL” “ee” etc.) and words with lots of repetition (MISSISSIPPI, or the word…REPETITION).

Mainframe
Buy NowMainframe
A generously spaced fixed width family that maximizes readability with a tall x-height and short cap height. This project already spans multiple weights from ExtraLight to Black. The goal amount here is really just to liberate it as open source.
