Brand New: Bangkok Restless
I have been walking around the streets of Bangkok with my good old film camera taking photos the way like back in the day. I think there is something magical and authentic in it. Guess what, the first day I went out with that camera I stumbled upon a place is called Fotoclub BKK they develop film rolls how cool is that! I shoot all the 36 photos at the Silom area, taking random photos most came out off centred subject, wrong settings, blurry just like the way I wanted! Soon after I was working on a handwritten script that is a perfect match to the overall topic of my stay in Bangkok so I named it after this exceptional adventure I have had here. The font contains all European diacritics and special characters, some double letter ligatures and stylistic alternates for better flow and more organic and natural look. I hope you guys like it and it will add some spiciness to your next creative project!
Any feedback or questions, character request please don’t hesitate to contact me either here or on social.
Have a great day and good luck with your work,
Cheers, Roland
LATEST NEWS
I am presentating on Typelab Asia Channel at Typographics conference online via Zoom about Hungarian Rovas Script. Click on the image for details!
2022.04.29 I have released my latest font “Midnight Diner” which is a 2 year long collaboration with the amazing Calligrapher Leah Chong from Singapore.
My Story
My sister and I, we used to draw all the time as a kid. It was always a magical world to me, I loved especially copying the fancy, colourful logos from soda cans and candy bars. I have taken specialised art classes in High School where my favorite subject was “Lettering and Composition”. Then I went to college where I studied Law 
that I hated and struggled a lot with. After 3 years I quit and went to the Netherlands to explore myself and the world on my own. I had various jobs from line worker to dishwasher and later, cook. I finally found my true calling (again) and reconnected with my young self with my passion and love for drawing while I was practicing drawing letters on my laptop in almost all my freetime I had besides my dayjobs.I have started out with type design around 2012 with a font I have created from my own handwriting for fun. I still prefer handwritten casual script typefaces and calligraphic styles that’s what most of my fonts are to date.
Mission
My love for type design brought me closer to my cultural heritage which is Hungarian Rovas Script, often referred as “Old Hungarian” which supposed to mean it’s extinct. Which is not true because it is the only script that has managed to survive throughout History despite it was never an official writing system. My goal is to raise awareness and encourage its everyday use by design and modernisation along with technical solutions such as right to left typing, keyboard layout and furthermore, various Typefaces. So the way I see it: “Old Hungarian is the New Hungarian” 😉
My Fonts
The majority of my fonts are in the category of handwritten modern calligraphy but you can find some experimental typefaces from Serif to Sans Serif, variable fonts and more. Stay tuned in the latest news announcements or subscribe to receive updates and special intro offers for future releases!
