Does anyone know any Hawaiian type designers, and typical Hawaiian typefaces, aside from the Font Diner and House stuff?

Like in, historic art, culture, that stuff.

Cheers, err.. Mahalo!

Maybe 'Kon Tiki Aloha', 'Kon Tiki Hula' or 'Kon Tiki Lanai', and others, from Jukebox Type.?

All pretty nice, but with "Like in, historic art, culture, that stuff." I was hoping to see some local art. Hawaiian typedesigners' stuff, maybe even good Hawaiian fonts with their special accents.

As fond as I may be of the Tiki Room places, that's not exactly what I was looking for, but I may buy those anyway (THANKS!) :-)
