Hi there, I've been looking for ways to streamline the creation of incredible fonts since I first started making fonts back in 2013. In November I took a huge step in the right direction: I bought a pen tablet! One of the first fonts I drew up with my new pen table is called 'Sailor Tattoo Hand'. Sailor Tattoo Hand Regular is a hand-drawn monoline serif tattoo script designed for flash painters and merch designers. This new typeface is inspired by classic traditional flash in the style of the legendary Sailor Jerry. It features European and accented characters, punctuation Sailor Tattoo Hand also features a whole host of in-fill symbols stored in the Private Use Area. You can access all...
Tattoo Boss Monoline is a modular monoline tattoo font for merch designs and flash paintings. The font uses long geometric curves, is provided in multiple weights, and features a ton of alternates. Check out the full font and take it for a spin here. Merch Design Tattoo Boss was developed for use of modern merch and tattoo flash projects. The font was created as expanded and improved version of our classic Batter Up modular merch design font. The Alphabet Althought Batter Up is a reliable workhorse when it comes to merch design, there are several places where it can be improved. Tattoo Boss was developed as an easy way to implement some of those improvements, having consistent lineweights and longer...
Today we are proud to announce the release of Backtrack Regular! Backtrack Regular was a challenging font to create. The font was inspired by a graphic from the New York hardcore band Backtrack.

We then sketched out the font in Illustrator, taking care to find the perfect shading brush. We took extreme care to ensure that all the components were kept separate so that we would be able to create as many variations on the font as possible. We weren't successful! Our next attempt came in Photoshop. It took a long...
My father lives downtown each summer, next to a brew pub. Over its outdoor patio, there is a huge mural featuring its name. The pub name is painted in 8-foot tall letters on the brick facade. I love the letters, the look, the shape. I've always wanted to add something similar to our collection of fonts on offer. One day while reviewing our existing fonts, I noticed that our Turbonacular font had many of the same shapes, but had been built with round corners, instead of square corners. So the first step was going back to the original source files and squaring all the corners. After the corners were squared, we still had a number of characters, like the K...
Today we are proud to announce the release of Humbley Script! Humbley is our new favorite modern calligraphy font, a fun hand-drawn script that's perfect for your next inspirational art print, mug, postcard, pillow, etc.
Humbley was originally drawn with a Pentel Fude Touch Sign pen, and then edited to have a thick, chunky vibe. For the first release of Humbley, we've pulled out all the stops and include uppercase, lowercase, punctuation, and accented characters.
