About the family


I was in a bit of a gloomy mood just before I created this font. I had no inspiration whatsoever (which always affects me in a bad way). I was trying to create a font using broken satay skewers, as using those gives the letters a unique look. I broke about 25 skewers and they all broke ‘the wrong way’. Yes, it’s pathetic, I know, but that’s how it is. I decided to go to the gym and do a little workout, hoping my dark mood would pass. When I came back, I broke one more skewer and lo and behold, it broke exactly the right way! I made this font in one go, using that fantastic skewer and lots of Chinese ink. Darkness Rising comes with all the diacritics you’ll need, plus double letter ligatures and some cool underlined alternates.

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!
