Trepan

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This one's been sitting around for too long - needed to be let out.

Tools of the Trade

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A selection of items from my desk.

Sam Sleeps

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A basic design principle, namely to emulate newspaper headline type. A few details to be worked out, but it's pretty much there. Seems to work well at all sizes.

Decorum

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

More characters to come... it took me longer than expected to get this far. Includes some (barely noticeable) ink-traps and slight variations in line-width in places to maintain optical balance.

A Square Peg in A Round Hole

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A work in progress...

Dizygotic

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

An exercise in using the newer bricks to create a single typeface with two weights.

Filamentous

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Nothing special - uses 0.8 filter setting, so you may need to zoom in a bit to preview it correctly.

Bobolink

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

For now, apart from the provided 'fi' and 'fl' ligatures, all 'f-' and 'ff-' variations - and other alternatives - are within the capitals. More punctuation and to come and and any suggestions for further alternatives welcome.

Torch A Tortured Orchard

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

More of an exercise than something I actually like. It's not quite finished either - a few creases need ironing out, although it does seem to work well at all sizes.

Penkala

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A script font, intended to emulate broad pen nib strokes.

Guayule

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Not quite finished - I'm not happy with the X and a few other glyphs most likely need tweaking. Suggestions welcome, as always.

Mongrel

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I was a little bit bored, and this is what happened. The name is because I have no idea what the origin is, and it's a little ugly.

Corpus Torsion

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A quick experiment playing with the possibilities of overshoot, using the composite brick function.

Avast

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I'm not really sure how this one came about. It conforms to stencil criteria, but it's not really about that. It also reminds me of pseudo-blurry typefaces, but again that's purely coincidental. Make of it what you will.

Overfeed

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

My first Stencil font.

Sweet Henry

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Just a quick idea.

Carapace

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Fimbriae is apparently irretrievable - so this is the latest incarnation, largely faithful to the original. I'm not yet happy with the V and W, but I need to step back for a while. As always, hints and suggestions are most welcome.

Riley

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Inspired by the work of Bridget Riley.

Staring at The Sky

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A mono-height, 60s inspired font. I'm not 100% sure about some of the uppercase characters - mostly the later ones... so all comments are gratefully recieved. Oh, and more latin characters are on the way...

Inauguration

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Work in progress, improvements welcome...
