Designed by David Kerkhoff, Darkness Rising is a hand display and brush display font family.
This typeface has three styles and was published by Hanoded.
I was in a bit of a gloomy mood just before I created this font. I had no inspiration whatsoever (which always affects me in a bad way).
I was trying to create a font using broken satay skewers, as using those gives the letters a unique look.
I broke about 25 skewers and they all broke ‘the wrong way’. Yes, it’s pathetic, I know, but that’s how it is. I decided to go to the gym and do a little workout, hoping my dark mood would pass.
When I came back, I broke one more skewer and lo and behold, it broke exactly the right way! I made this font in one go, using that fantastic skewer and lots of Chinese ink.
