About Karsten Font Family


The first development of Karsten typeface was inspired by signs on some old Dutch-buildings in Java. Then in the making, it blends with modern style. It's a synthesis between two cultures, the East & the West. The typeface was named after the Dutch architect who gave major contributions to architecture and town planning in Indonesia, Herman Thomas Karsten.

It comes in nine weights from thin to black with matching italics. Its mixture of weights provide a wide range of styles that will help you find the best vibe for your projects, for headlines or a short paragraph.

About Nasir Udin

Nasir Udin is a type designer based in Yogyakarta. Before he got into type design, he had designed travel posters under the Vectro label. His illustrative style is an impression of similar posters from the mid 20th century. As a designer, he enjoy looking to both the past and the future for inspiration. That's why he love to blend a retro style with a futuristic concept. He started type design on 2016 as his side project, before he take it seriously. And now, since his wife join in the project, they merged two character as one, just like a ligature. They used to work from coffee shop here in Yogyakarta. They can spend about most of their working-time in there.You can follow @studio.nasir on Instagram, he loves to capture a lettering on old buildings (Dutch, Chinese, Arabic, blend with the local Javanese).
