Downward Fall Font

Downward Fall owes its name to one of my favorite Opeth songs, called The Funeral Portrait. The song itself is an uptempo metal composition with rather dark lyrics. This peculiar combination, a mix of good and evil if you will,

Sanseki Font

Cinnabar Brush Font

Cinnabar Brush is a font named after a mineral – mercury sulfide to be precise. I quite like the name and the color, so naming a font after it made sense. Cinnabar Brush is a very bold, very outspoken brush

Dirrrty Font

The Three Degrees had a song called ‘Dirty Ol’ Man’; Christina Aguilera danced around to the tune of ‘Dirrrty’ and my three kids leave everything that way after they have finished their meals, so I guess I really had no

Knockdown Font

Finding my long-lost inkwell was a lucky moment for me and it resulted in a whole bunch of brushy/inky fonts. The latest font to leak out of this well is Knockdown. It is a bold and wild brush face, but
