It's here! Our completely revamped release of Sailor's Fat Tattoo! It's been a long time in the making, a huge undertaking, requiring a ton of new characters to be drawn, and accent locations to be fiddled with for a large volume of characters. Now, for the first time, Sailor's Fat Tattoo has numbers, it has punctuation, it has special characters, and it has accented characters! Here are a few of the most important updates that I've made: I finally drew numbers. I worked off some of the existing glyphs and created a new Photoshop brush to match the old hand-drawn lines. I also drew special characters and punctuation. I drew accents, and added accents to most of the glyphs in...
Ever have trouble finishing a painting or merch design because you couldn't find the right font? Sailor Tattoo Hand Modern was developed as a way to solve some of the challenges I had with using the original version for some professional flash paintings. The flash paintings required less ornamented text in a heavier weight. To accommodate these painting projects, Sailor Tattoo Hand Modern was developed. Ornamentation was removed, stroke weight was doubled, and letter sizes were adjusted to balance out the removed serifs. The character set was streamlined to ensure a faster deployment, that is: I wanted to use it quickly, so I didn't fiddle around with all the accented characters. Sailor Tattoo Hand Modern is a gift to anyone...
Today we are very pleased to introduce the world to our newest brush script: Plum Brush Script. The Goods Plum Brush Script is a hand-painted modern brush calligraphy script. Plum has been designed as a semi-connected script with a ragged edge to emulate a wet brush. Plum Brush Script is perfect for branding and packaging where you're looking for a hand-painted charm. The Story I was painting in my sketchbook one day over quarantine when I decided to build out a new brush alphabet. We've always received emails about missing characters from our existing brush alphabets, so I set out to do a full glyph set, including uppercase, lowercase, numbers, accents, punctuation, and special characters.

Ghoulie Tattoo Script was inspired by a photo of a knuckle tattoo script I saw many years ago, when I originally began designing fonts. The photo had only the letters E, R,and C. From there, I interpreted the letters with a little more intensity, and then extrapolated a full alphabet. I always held off of digitizing my work, because I recognized that it's not okay to infringe on someone's personal style or livelihood. In the years since, I never came across another sample of the lettering. A few days ago, I was cleaning and came across my original sketchbook, with the full alphabet tucked inside. Not wanting the work to vanish without a trace, I finally scanned and digitized the...
Today we are very pleased to introduce the world to our newest font family: Bubble Frum. The Goods Bubble Frum is a family of hand-drawn bubble fonts. The initial release features four variations: regular, black, shadow, and 3D. Characters are limited to uppercase, with the lowercase letter set having alternates without the shine detailing. The Story Bubble Frum was inspired in two ways. First, by some bubble letter graffiti that I came across randomly, and second by the struggles I had with our Backtrack Regular font. When Backtrack Regular was released, it really took off very quickly. When I went back to make new variations of the font, I realized that I hadn't left myself the resources to make any...
