a little outside of the art deco era, inspired by astigmatic's "sacramento" and tortoiseshell's "sonoma," while keeping with the californian theme~

Cloned from an early-ish version of my typeface ETC Downsize Gothic where I experimented with some Greek and Cyrillic characters; suggestions for changes to these are welcome before I fully add some of these at a later date

Condensed slab serif. Elspeth: elegant, classic, feminine name of Scottish origin; from Hebrew Elisheba (Elizabeth).

Font ID: F046

Ceroba font attempt 2

2024.09.25 - asterisk swapped with the "Chujin" font

Republished with Latin accents and a few new symbols. 17.04.24

Αναδημοσίευση με τη Δημοτική (εργασία σε εξέλιξη). 23.05.24

Various glyph refinements, Latin as well as Greek,  17.06.24

Another monospace semi-slab-serif cursive-like font inspired by Rogue and a little bit by Anonoma Mono Less Characters.

To me this font seems a little too bold for coding, but it's very reasonable in my opinion (I like looking at my fs RID in my IDE more though).

This font is still WIP so it can update at any time. Expect Cyrillic and latin accents soon.

Rogue is a semi-upright slab-serif font. My first ever project to use ×2 Brick size filter.

_

This originally started out as an attempt to recreate Anonoma Less Characters. But then, things took a turn and Rogue was born.

The reason I made the font "Semi-upright" was because bold upright serifs (at least to me) tend to look cool and stylish. Though, I still wanted to keep the sense of roman serif in the font. So the a, g and u are roman. The style of v, w, x, y, z in most italic serifs look too obscure and grotesque for my design, so those are all roman with y being the only exception. Basically, a mix between upright and roman.

_

I have plans to expand the project into supporting Greek and Cyrillic as well as provide alternative glyphs for the font.

_

Of course, the font has imperfections here and there. Comments for improvements or feedbacks are all welcome.

That's all I had to say.

My first really big font!

Inspired by Sudoku.

DIDUDE (Regular) ― Contemporary Neo-classical "Didone" style serif
══════════════════════════════════
The idea revolved around the basic concept for 'Didone'-style typefaces.
A genre characterized by modern unornamented standard letterforms, which was very popular for general-purpose printing during the 19th century. DIDUDE is by no means an attempt to embarge on a quest trying to deliver a conceptual overhaul of this genre. Its main goal was to achieve greater simplicity, without sacrificing that traditional neo-classical personality. Instead of leaning towards the typically more 'Humanist'-influenced style with distinct stroke modulations and proportional forms, geometry and symmetry were introduced to design this more simplified take on the traditional historical style. It has been crafted with a structural logic of its own.

"Less human, more geometry.." A fusion of geometry and neo-classical elements that blends the past with the present.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Main distinctive features for DIDUDE (Regular) are:
Unbracketed serifs, vertical orientation of weight axes with a strong contrast between thick and thin strokes, slightly squarish-shaped round characters and its emphasized business-like nature. So the majority of important characteristics that distinguish the neo-classical style have been incorporated.
Certain features that were implemented into DIDUDE's design are somewhat setting it apart from most other, more traditional typefaces in this genre, and most notable is the more relaxed contrast ratio that was choosen for this particular project.
Further personalizing touches were made to stroke endings and curve geometry, providing slight 'calligraphy'-inspired decorative variation with occasional spurs, breaks, curved finials and plain monolinear terminals.
Topping it all off with an ever so gentle height deviation that sparks a subtle rhythm to any line of text. Last but not least, most of the optical clunkiness was addressed and either corrected or compensated.

There is a large character set that includes a little bit of everything:
Basic latin character set, latin-1 supplement set, stylistic ligatures and glyph alternatives, punctuation marks, lining and non-lining text figures, roman numerals, (Partial) Greek and Cyrillic, also numerous non-lingual technical, mathematical and decorative stuff was included.

Only partially kerning for now and this remains a WIP.

Nonetheless, I hope y'all like it so far..

Hard to believe that 10 years have passed since joining Fontstruct. The years have truly flown by and typography went from an unknown, to a delightful hobby. Many many thanks to those who helped me learn and grow on this platform, it's been such a fun adventure with such a positive impact. To celebrate, may I present "magenta" an art deco font for any typing needs. Please enjoy

This also marks a little turning point. The name "time.peace" was chosen at random and was honestly something I’d never been thrilled with. After much thinking, a new moniker is being adopted: "tortoiseshell."

"tortoiseshell" pulls from the tortoiseshell butterfly. Butterflys are seen as both symbols of time and of peace, making it a simple homage to the old title. There is another connection to tortoiseshell glasses, a style popularized in the 1920's, an era that has been incredibly riveting with its Art Deco movement. Lastly, there is a genus of the tortoiseshell butterfly native to my home.

"tortoiseshell typography" looks build upon old ideas while also growing and evolving into the future.

Cheers to the next decade and the new chapter~

Intertwined (impossible) letter O as a starting point for a yet another experiment. Emes is a word used to express negation in my language.

This is the extended version of Memo. I hope you enjoy this font.
