About

Vanderfont is the online home for typefaces and royalty-free images by illustrator and type designer Joe VanDerBos.

Typefaces

Joe’s fonts might be mistaken for revivals of old, forgotten faces. While that‘s a high compliment, it’s a misplaced one. While embracing the look of mid-20th century advertising art and retro-kitsch, all of Vanderfont‘s typefaces are originals. They're freshly made fonts filtered through a life spent scanning vintage magazines and shooting backward glances at faded billboards. VanDerBos says:

“By making faces today that look like something from yesterday, I hope I’m creating something that will outlast trends. I try to imagine what Retrofit would have looked like in a magazine ad from 1953. That’s my inspiration. Create faces that will intrigue a reader fifty years from now. Oh, and don't hold me to the yesterday thing, I don't want to be pigeonholed! "

All of the fonts may be purchased here, or at Myfonts.com. They are covered by a license agreement.

Custom typeface commissions are accepted as well. Call Joe at
269-342-5565 or send an email.
