About the 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 Hanoded

Hanoded is run by Dutchman David Kerkhoff. His fonts are a mishmash of styles, as he just creates whatever pops into his head. You will find a lot of brush fonts in his collection, as his favourite tools are brushes and Chinese ink, with cartoon style fonts and script fonts complementing his repertoire. Aside from making fonts, David occasionally guides tours in far-flung places, renovates his '30's house and tries reasoning with his wife and (teenage) kids. Not an easy task!
