Mochon is what happens when an architect’s grease pencil leaves the blueprint and wanders into the wild. Inspired by the hand-lettering of Donald Mochon—former dean of RPI’s School of Architecture—it carries the same confident looseness you’d find in margin notes, concept sketches, and quick visual ideas from a master’s desk. Each stroke has that telltale waxy richness of a Mitsubishi Dermatograph, the slight drag of pencil against paper baked right into the letterforms.
It’s handwriting with an architect’s eye. Behind the relaxed rhythm lies a subtle geometric discipline; curves and angles balance just enough to keep even long passages readable. Thanks to built-in alternates and automatic shuffling, letters never repeat like a font—they behave like real writing, giving headlines, packaging, or presentation slides the kind of organic variation that feels human.
Whether you’re branding a creative studio, adding personality to architectural boards, or giving editorial layouts a smart, informal voice, Mochon bridges informality and authority in one textured, energetic style. And if you look closely, you might even spot a familiar little bird mascot—straight from Mochon’s own sketches—perched as a quiet nod to its origins.
Mochon: architectural authority, human touch.
