Food & Fonts
VetteLetters was our very first independent project, which we started in collaboration with Donald DBXL Beekman.
It is a unique combination of several things. When designing for clients, we often created some custom lettering. Instead of discarding it, we decided to turn it into a font. Additionally, we had a fascination for fast food, food trucks, kebab shops, and other infamous restaurants. Our primary goal was not to make a profit but to have the freedom to pursue whatever we liked.
Over the years, we were fortunate enough to have some talented type designers join our team, like Martin Lorenz, Jacques le Bailly, Dirk Uhlenbrock, Alexandre Saumier Demers, and Henning Brehm. You can check out their delicious fonts on our menu.

Do you give workshops?
