About the family


Heer Halewijn (The Song of Lord Halewijn) is a 13th century Dutch folk tale which survives in folk ballad. The story tells of a man called Halewijn, who lives in the woods and who lures pretty women with his songs (whom he then kills). One day a princess visits Halewijn, but when he wants to kill her, she requests he remove his robe, so as not to stain it with her blood. He obliges and when he is undressing, the princess seizes his sword and chops off his head. Halewyn is a handmade font, which was loosely based on my Languedoc font and Garamond. Use it for product packaging, books and posters. Comes in 4 weights (with italics) and a ballad full of diacritics.

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!
