Jasper Roks
Welcome to my site. This is the place where I publish my handlettering.
My name is Jasper Roks
and I'm an Art Director with a love
for handlettering, advertising and design.
I've been working in the creative industry since 2001 and I always strive to improve myself.
Temet Nosce (Know Thyself)
In 2013 I started with handlettering because I love the craftsmanship and detailing of developing beautiful type.
In my portfolio you'll find my latest work.
I currently work as an Art Director
at TBWA\Neboko Live.
Creating ideas for great brands.

Through my career I worked for different agencies where I also did a lot of designwork. Because of that I've grown my expertise which I use today in my work and all of my handlettering.
Royal K
While I was playing around
with double stroked letters I suddenly
had the idea of visualising it in
a Heraldic/Royal style.
Turned out exactly how I had it in mind.
Don't fight
I wanted to create a word
with thicker letters than usual and
with some swing.
Logo Robert Denneman
Name logo that I created for a friend.

Request Denied - CGI
Created this visual
with the use of Cinema 4D.
Infertility - Studio Pienter
Got a request from a former collegue,
she wanted to create
an intense picture about 'Infertility'
combining photography and handlettering.
After some sketches we picked
the version written with a
(handcrafted)ruling pen.

Infertility - Second version
I like the clean
look and feel of this one.
Infertility - First version
This first attempt for
the word 'Infertility
turned out to be a little bit
to swirly.
Still like it though.
Gee
Extreme flexible looking 'G'.
Think Outside The Box
You should!
Muze
When I start working on the
overall look and Feel,
I sometimes
end up with something I didn't expect.
This one turned out to be very colorful.
Type e
I drew up the letter E,
I liked it so much that I decided to
vectorize it and create
a catchy visual of it.
Eat the Pain
Decided to work on a
RGB distorted glyph effect
in Photoshop.
Prime Quality
Made this one on an early
Sunday morning.
Quality
Looked up an old photo
and gave it a
frosted glass look.
Request Denied
I really like
the shortness of the letters
in combination with
the sun flare.
Bink
Bink is a nickname for
the girl who's
signature letters - HM -are
underneath this piece.
Bash
Created under my old
tag name Nesx.
Force
Played around in Photoshop
to blend the color waves with
the typography.
Custom
One of my earlier drawings.
Somehow this piece always appeals to me.
I droodle the word 'Custom' a lot too.
Dig
Drew this one when
I was droodling and goofing
around trying to come up
with an extreme looking G.
Levitate
I like the spider web-
kinda-feel of this piece.
Handmade Stories
This is a logo that I created
doing some first attempts
on vectorizing
my handmade type.
Tag
I really like
the roughness in
these letters here.
Stand United
Drew this with a
Pentel GFKP Pocket
brush pen.
Game Over
This is the end,
no really!
