About this font family

Why Baka Expert?

There’s actually a simple answer. The original Baka was done as an experiment of sorts. I wanted to quickly capture a rough, frenetic handwriting style that broke normal conventions. Commercially, it was successful, received some accolades...but I wasn’t completely satisfied so I went back to the master art and the lettering explorations and produced Baka Too. It addressed some of the line items I wanted to refine from Baka. I liked it. More…

Each font has been out for a few years now and I have seen them in use. I’m very critical of my work and I could still see things—e.g. modulations of strokes, angle of the nib, ink swell, and so on—that I wanted to change, refine and reorder.

For me, it is typographic indulgence, but I wanted to take this handwriting ‘font’ and turn it into a robust ‘typeface.’

So I did just that and a bit more by adding back in more of my initial flourish concepts, attained tighter, consistent control of the modulation, optimized points, added titling options and expanded the character language set. Baka and Baka Too had to exist to produce this entirely new re-envisioning of a old friend...and they all play well together :)
