Journal
Inspired by my friend Arild’s handwriting, Journal was created for a Norwegian grocery chain to mimic casual handwritten shopping lists. With over 3 million downloads, it’s one of my most popular fonts. It also includes a dingbat set of little doodles people often make while jotting notes.
Has been used by LEGO, Samsung, Maarud, Prior, the list goes on…
Woody
Based on a wooden typeset found at a flea market, Woody brings vintage letterpress charm into the digital world. Its condensed sans-serif style and rough stamped texture echo centuries-old poster printing, all rooted in its solid hardwood origins. Say “Hello to Woody!”
Blocked Out
This is a dense, fat typeface designed to fill up space. Each letter fits neatly into a square, and you can arrange them in a 3×3 grid or fill them with images, colors, or graphic ornaments. While it’s not the most legible font, it’s definitely a fun and visually interesting way to make a bold statement or create unique patterns.
Mr Otis
Inspired by an old elevator plaque spotted on Instagram (Thanks jo_forresten). The entire alphabet was reconstructed from that single metal sign. Named after the inventor of the elevator, it combines vintage charm with modern sans‑serif clarity.

ShitFace
A mischievous collaboration between me and my dog Hugo, made from photos of dog poo arranged into letters. Both uppercase and lowercase included—a true meta-font where sweet messages can secretly be written in poop.
Hugo is barking from the other side now, but his work lives on❤️
DeathMix
Born from the quirky world of Letraset transfers, Death Mix is a Frankenstein mashup of several typefaces rubbed together into one. The result is a grotesque, one-of-a-kind font with a wonderfully odd personality—there’s truly nothing else like it.
MotherNature
Created through a workshop where participants gathered leaves and natural materials to build the alphabet. Each letter was assembled, photographed, traced, and turned into a font—available in both black-and-white and full-color versions. Organic, tactile, and rooted in the outdoors. Love the contrasts and roughness.
Color version will be available asap:-)
NY ABC
A playful collage of letters collected around New York during a 2014 trip. Each glyph comes from a different NYC sign or type style, forming a whimsical mixed-alphabet. Limited to A–Z with no numbers, it’s perfect for drop caps or adding a hit of New York grunge.
I ❤️ NYC
Disconnected
Created in a workshop where participants shaped letters from old unused cables. Each crafted character was photographed and traced into a whimsical typeface celebrating the cluttered drawers of cords we all keep around.
Street Art Tribute
A traced dingbat font created from photos of street art and stencils found across Europe. A raw collection of activist, whimsical, and visually striking found imagery—more a curated tribute than a designed typeface.
I love street art so please, all of you spray heads and stencil cutters, keep it up and rough!
MeTooPixzi
Like everyone at the end of the digital ’90s, I had to make a pixel font—so I called it MeTooPixzi. It’s legible at just 5 pixels high (at 5 points and every increment of 5), where it stays wonderfully crisp. Not often in use, but at very small sizes it becomes delightfully blocky.
HubaHuba
HubaHuba was my first font/Dingbat, created while studying in San Francisco. I took a digital font design class. It is based on hubcap designs, I found so many interesting designs walking the streets of SF. Always bringing my Nikon FM2, to document what inspired me.
HubaHuba earned me an award (In Search of the Next Big Whatever) for best dingbat design held by Garage Fonts and Macromedia (developer of Flash, Freehand, and many more apps). I won cash and maybe best of all a copy of Fontographer. My endeavors into the font world was set…
One more thing, I need to brag a little… The jury of this competition was no other than:
• Neville Brody • David Carson • Steven Heller • Robin Williams 🤩
