Introducing Warugaki: a typeface that defies convention and eschews predictability. With a bold, untamed energy that is deeply rooted in mid-century Japanese style, Warugaki captures the essence of a bygone era while remaining firmly anchored in the present. But don’t be fooled by its seemingly disorganized appearance—this headline typeface is the result of a meticulous subtractive process that imbues each letterform with a sense of organic authenticity. The edge technique used is reminiscent of a handcrafted silk screen or wax dye resist, resulting in compact letterforms that exude a sense of raw, unbridled energy. But Warugaki is more than just a typeface—it’s an experience. With bespoke letter combinations and alternate letters in the lowercase position, each word you create with Warugaki is a unique expression of your own creative vision. No two designs will ever be the same, and that’s exactly the way it should be. So if you’re looking to break free from the constraints of traditional typography and embrace a more spontaneous, expressive approach to design, look no further than Warugaki. This is a typeface that will take your work to new heights, and leave a lasting impression on anyone who sees it.

Makiritare is a display font for headlines that originates from a research work on pure geometry of great simplicity from a Venezuelan ethnicity artisanal form from men called Makiritare or Yecuana. These rivers sailors and architects of the jungle live in the village of Santa Maria de Erebato on the border with Brazil. Despite having a prodigious symbolism in their art, they didn't have until recently a font that is tailored to your expression. It all started with a trip to the Amazon in 1976 with the notion of creating my thesis as a graphic design student. In 1992 I created the first letterform that was evolving to a more elaborate version being presented and selected at the International Typography Biennial Letras Latinas in 2006. Today JMTF presents Makiritare with a more complete and mature family of three weights, alternative characters, small caps, ordinals and ligatures. Makiritare fits any application that have an innovative and modernist purposes. Recommended for titles or short phrases, with striking large-scale use.

Cypher is a techno looking font that attempts to employ the Gestalt principal of closure. It may, at larger sizes look like some sort of code or a bunch of dots and dashes, but when viewed at smaller sizes it falls together into legible words. This font family was first inspired by an experiment to try to make a legible upper and lower alphabet with the smallest grid possible that would still describe the letterforms. The original conclusion was that it could be done in a 3x6 grid. This made a fun design exercise, but it makes a lousy font. The grid was expanded a bit for aesthetic reasons to a 3x8 grid, But not restricted so severely and so occasionally goes wider than 3 for the certain letterforms. From this a whole family of widths and weights was born, and rather than simply obliquing for italics, a true italic of sorts was created. Cypher is a versatile family of 24 fonts – 4 widths, each with 3 weights and their accompanying italics.

This was a patented design, so we know who designed it and when. August Will was a type cutter who sold his work to a number of foundries. We worked over this design to open up the space between the strokes to accompdate smaller sizes.

In October 2010 I released a font called “Zanoix” It was based upon a an old horror movie poster. I looked through and old folder, and found the font that served as a base for this the grungy font. Zonaix is opposite to Zanoix, because it is super clean, pointy and is made entirely of straight lines! With the sharp pointed serifs and whacky lines, it is a good choice for a legible seriffed font - not necessarily for anything scary!
