Insider Consulting
Description
Insider was custom made for Insider Consulting in Düsseldorf, Germany. It’s highly legible at small sizes because of the solid proportions and the well balanced inner forms. It’s optimized for setting longer texts, but also works very well in headlines and leads. With 8 styles (4 weights + italics), the family is very versatile and can be used for typographically complex designs.

Ballet Mechanique is a custom designed font for musician Jeroen Borrenbergs, aka Ballet Mechanique. For his upcoming record releases Jeroen asked me to create a special font for him. As the co-founder of Stoere Binken Design he creates his own artwork and therefor had very specific wishes. The font should be warm, soft and have soul.

Stoere Binken Design
Description
Stoere Binken Design is my own graphic design studio. We redesigned our corporate identity and to celebrate that I created a custom typeface for ourselves. The font should stand out from the competition, who often uses uninteresting corporate typefaces. We wanted something different, masculine and razor sharp. Out came SBD Block.

Magma Brand Design
Description
In 2005 Boris Kahl asked me to create a personal font for their Bastard Project - Choose My Identity. Instead I made two. Cucaracha is a real bastard. It's provocative, loud and egocentric. The idea behind Bastard was to bring together photographers, writers, illustrators, graphic designers, musicians and typographers to create a solid and unique book that also functions as a work of art.
A little Bastard!

Siventi
Description
This font was created from the Siventi Products BV logo I designed. Siventi intended to sell custom made lifestyle products. I believe that a good Brand doesn't have to be limited to one specific appearance or color scheme. It should inspire, motivate and guide the user to a higher level. That's why Siventi has a text font called 'Logo Wide' and a set of logo based icons called 'Icono'.
