I have upgraded my existing font software and also bought new font software to play around with. It takes some time getting used to working with it; the upgraded software feels similar to what I am used to, but handles things differently and the new software is intuitive, but comes with its own language and ways of doing things.

I spend most days reading the handbooks and watching online tutorials, but I did manage to create a font.

Steamed is a hand drawn all caps display font that comes with a whole bunch of accented glyphs (even Vietnamese) to play around with.

My eldest son Sam always wanted to visit Japan and he has been saving up for a ticket for years now. We should have traveled there this year, but due to the pandemic, that was impossible. We’re now trying to go next year.

Sam and I did make some kind of itinerary and I told him how we were going to get around, as I have been to Japan many times. I told him about the Shinkansen trains, the cute Tram in Nagasaki and the immense subway system in Tokyo. One of the lines in Tokyo is the so-called Yamanote Circle Line, which I have used on numerous occasions.

A new font name was born and it stuck to this particular font!

Subway Circle is a 100% handmade font. It is rounded, slightly slanted and comes with a sunny disposition. I am sure that, when you use it, you will find your 生きがい… ;-)

The typeface Brush Hand Marker is designed from 2020 for the font foundry Typo Graphic Design by Manuel Viergutz. The rough sans-serif display typeface with 4 font styles (Italic, Invert, Shadow, 3d) is inspired by handwriting.

For use in logos, magazines, posters, advertisement plus as webfont for decorative headlines. The font works best for display size.
