The rupee symbol is a blend of the Devanagari letter βRaβ and the Latin capital βRβ, the former has a sharp top right angle, so I guess itβs not weird designing the rupee symbol with this angle.

New CakeType release: Vandertak CAPSLOCK!
As its name suggests, Vandertak CAPSLOCK is an all-caps version of βVandertakβ. But it is also much more than that. Referencing the architectural origins of the typeface, the five βstackableβ styles have a dimensional look.

NEW RELEASE β Rigby Mono!
Our small Rigby type family got a little larger: now also available in a monospaced variant that makes monospaced text extra personable. Nevertheless, Rigby is still not overwhelming you with a confusing number of styles.

This is Frivolityβmy very first attempt at designing a serious font. The file says it was from 1996, so almost 30 years ago. What was your first attempt?

Poster FC Eindhoven against Vitesse
Jan-Willem van der Looij (not on Bluesky) and I letterpress printed an art poster for the football match between FC Eindhoven and Vitesse. For the poster I made two linocuts, one with vertical stripes (both clubs have stripes on their home jerseys) and one with text. We think the result looks great.
