We’re are launching an independent industry-wide survey for font users. We want to hear about your experiences: What works? What’s confusing or frustrating? What would you change? Your answers will help us decide how licensing works within the Fontstand Cooperative.

New CakeType release: Vandertak CAPSLOCK!

As its name suggests, Vandertak CAPSLOCK is an all-caps version of “Vandertak”. But it is also much more than that. Referencing the architectural origins of the typeface, the five “stackable” styles have a dimensional look.

NEW RELEASE — Rigby Mono!

Our small Rigby type family got a little larger: now also available in a monospaced variant that makes monospaced text extra personable. Nevertheless, Rigby is still not overwhelming you with a confusing number of styles.

This is Frivolity—my very first attempt at designing a serious font. The file says it was from 1996, so almost 30 years ago. What was your first attempt?

COMING SOON! Rigby Mono!

Jan-Willem van der Looij (not on Bluesky) and I letterpress printed an art poster for the football match between FC Eindhoven and Vitesse. For the poster I made two linocuts, one with vertical stripes (both clubs have stripes on their home jerseys) and one with text. We think the result looks great.

Maniacal manicules are included in the Archive Matrix character set! garagefonts.com/font/archive... @pietervanrosmalen.bsky.social

Weird type in use find: PSV Sans used on a bag filled with cheese balls.

This toilet sign I made in 2002 using ironing beads. On the sign you see Capibara Kees – designed for my Type and Media graduation project – peeing. Still a great sign… I think.
