About Benjiro Font Family


Benjiro is a Japanese name for boys. It means ‘peaceful’ or ‘enjoy peace’, which is something we all really need right now. I settled on a Japanese name, as this font was made with ink and a broken bamboo satay skewer. A few years ago, I made my first font with a broken satay skewer and called it Buntaro, which is also a Japanese boys name, so I thought I’d stick to that tradition.

Benjiro is a rough, all caps brush font. I used really cheap supermarket skewers, because they break in all the wrong places, making it a joy to work with, as you never know what you’ll end up with!

Benjiro comes with extensive language support and a nice set of alternates for the lower case glyphs.

About Kitchen Table Type Foundry

Kitchen Table Type Foundry is run by me, David Kerkhoff. I also run Hanoded Fonts, which some of you may actually have heard of! :-0KTTF was created as an inspirational boost; a playground for new ideas and possibly font designs that may not fit the Hanoded Fonts brand - but I am not too strict about this rule. Since I design all the fonts, you may come across similarities - but that, unfortunately, is not something I can avoid. After all, it is just me, my laptop computer and the kitchen table I sit at when I design fonts and for which this foundry was named.
