Pieter van Rosmalen studied advertising and graphic design at SintLucas in Boxtel and graduated from the postgraduate TypeMedia program at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 2002. He runs <a href="/type-foundries/bold-monday/">Bold Monday</a>’s Eindhoven office and the boutique foundry <a href="/type-foundries/caketype/">CakeType</a>, typically working on ten different typefaces at the same time. He has designed retail as well as custom typefaces for clients worldwide, such as NBCUniversal, Audi AG, General Electric, IBM, and football club PSV. One of Pieter’s designs is used for street signs in South Korea.

Bilo Thai, designed by Promphan ‘Boom’ Suksumek, is the Thai script companion to Pieter van Rosmalen’s Bilo family. The modern loopless design shares many of the unique details and flavour you’ve come to love in Bilo, for instance the slightly pointy-eared terminals and wide, round shapes – remnants of van Rosmalen’s initial experiment to draw a low-contrast sans-serif version of Bodoni. The moderate x-height of Latin Bilo made it easy to match the proportions of the Thai and its need for room for vowels and tone marks above and below the middle (consonant) height. Bilo Thai aims to capture the same playful yet versatile tone as Bilo’s Latin counterpart. The family is available in nine weights for uses in all kinds of sizes and display applications. Alternative forms for Dodek/Totao and Ngongu let you choose between a more rounded or angular appearance. And of course, Bilo the dog came along, too! Each style includes 18 different dog-related icons designed by Dirk Uhlenbrock.

Cake Mono is a monospaced version of Cake Sans, developed for use on the CakeType website. It adds Cake Sans’s undeniable flair to coding, office correspondence, and screenplays – Hollywood, here we come! To make each letter advance the same width, certain forms (i, j, l, t) took cues from a typeface used for the Robotron 202 typewriter, also known as Optima 202. Alternates for these glyphs are available via stylistic sets. Like its sibling Cake Sans, Cake Mono looks wide-eyed at the world.Cake Mono comes in three styles and supports Latin Extended, including Vietnamese and Cyrillic. See the PDF specimen for the complete character set and OpenType feature overviews.

Cake Sans originated from letters drawn in 2006 for use in the logo of Bureau Jeugdzorg Noord-Holland. Back then, it was a stencil alphabet consisting only of capitals. Pieter developed the original design into the current bold weight, then added light and regular weights. With its open letterforms and narrow width, Cake Sans remains supremely legible while fitting more letters on a line. Its squarish shapes with straight sides feel equally at home on paper and the pixel grid. Pieter introduced a few idiosyncratic details to add warmth and whimsy to the space-saving sans serif. Cake Sans’s letterforms may be condensed, but its vision is expansive. Besides Latin Extended, the font family supports Vietnamese and the Cyrillic alphabet.

Other foundries can be unspeakably cruel to their fonts when creating stencil variants. They cut up innocent letterforms, mercilessly slicing stems and curves until the characters are reduced to fragments of their former selves. We at CakeType prefer to take the organic approach. Cake Sans came to life as a stencil design. It was then nurtured, patiently and lovingly. The letter parts grew at their own pace until they fused together to become Cake Sans. However, the original Cake Stencil was also carefully preserved in our typographic greenhouse until it was ripe for general use. The type family includes a rough Applied variant.

Is Cake Mono not typewritery (typewriter-ish? typewriter-esque?) enough for you? Cake Type–the typeface, not to be confused with CakeType, the foundry; notice the space–is a rough version of Cake Mono. Its irregular contours soften up the technical appearance of the letters by suggesting ink spread on paper. Hear the clickety-clack of typewriter keys triggering the arms; feel the metal type bars hit the page. If not, may we suggest sounding out the rhythm with your mouth while typing? Cake Type acquires materiality that adds a human touch to your text.
