About Ukiyo Mind Font Family


By chance I stumbled upon an unfinished font in my fonts folder (while looking for something else). It had a stupid working name, but when I opened it, the font looked really nice! I have no idea why I never finished it.

I renamed it Ukiyo Mind, because the font looked a bit like Japanese brush strokes.

Ukiyo is a Japanese term which roughly translates as ‘the fleeting/transient world’. In mediaval Japan, the word was associated with Buddhism, but later it was used to describe the urban lifestyle and the pleasure seeking aspects of it. Nowadays it refers to a ‘living in the moment’ state of mind.


Ukiyo Mind is a really nice brush font, which I probably made using Chinese ink and a brush. It comes with extensive language support and a 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.
