Crissov: FontStructions

Landkauf

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

Inspired by the ‘K’ logo of Kaufland supermarkets. Some lowercase letters used for alternate glyphs. Basic Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

Moon 4x4 White

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

Clone of Moon 4x4 Black.

Simplified Playing Cards

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

A first proof of concept for a very simple card set with language and script neutral identifiers. Clubs: A-M (black, cross or box) Spades: a-m (green or blue, upwards triangle or disc) Hearts: N-Z (red, downwards triangle) Diamonds: n-z (yellow, rhombus) Ace/1/11 (circled dot), 2-9 (dice), 10 (circle), Jack (neutral), Queen (female cross), King (male arrow); Joker (star)

Just1s

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

just one symbol. A proof of concept, not intended to be usable.

Geascript 39 angular

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

Geascript 39 with (tri)angular corners, still based on the original AEG MIS Geascript 38.

Geascript 39 round

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

Geascript 39 with rounded corners, still based on the original AEG MIS Geascript 38.

Geascript 39

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

Clone of Geascript 38 with one additional segment (in the square below the center) and new minuscule glyphs for those that should have a descender. The font includes many Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and Katakana letters. I admit I cheated a bit with the character count, because most capital and some lowercase letters with a diacritic mark(s) have only the base glyph assigned to them, this especially applies to Latin Extended B.

Just1s times4

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

Just 1 segment wide, 4 segments high majuscules, 2 segments high minuscules. Another proof of concept not intended to be usable.

Raphigraphy

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

Raphigraphy by Louis Braille (1839), according to http://www.fakoo.de/raphi/raphigrafie-alphabet.html

Moon 3x3 square

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

Clone of Moon square4 in a 3x3 raster.

Moon 4x4 Thin

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

Latin alphabet for partially sighted people after William Moon (1818–1894). Edgy square design. N and Z are ugly.

Albers

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

‘Schablonenschrift’ by Albers 1920s. ‘v’, ‘w’, ‘x’, ‘z’ are broken. I would have made a different ‘s’.

Moon 4x4 Black

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

An embossed script for the partially sighted, developed by Moon in the middle of the 19th century. Black or Extra Bold style in a 4x4 square. This of course wouldn’t be usable for the blind. H isn’t perfect, but needs to be distinguishable from O. R and S are the same as in Moon Bold.

Moon 4x4 Bold

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

An embossed script for the partially sighted, developed by Moon in the middle of the 19th century. Bold style in a 4x4 square. The diagonals in N and Z are probably too bold.

QWERTZ de Mac

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

QWERTZ keyboard layout as found on German Apple computers. Yeah, it could be prettier.

QWERTY

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

English QWERTY layout, only letters, no digits or punctuation. The middle row should be shifted half a block to the right.

Daumen

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

‘Letters’ for entering latin characters on mobile phones. Inspired by Text Thumb as illustrated in “Shapes for sounds” by Timothy Donaldson.

Daumen 9

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

Clone of Daumen, without placeholder signs for ‘1’, ‘*’ and ‘#’.

5x7 int

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

‘int’ stands for ‘international’ as this font covers multiple scripts. It’s not beautiful, but it has a lot of (uppercase) glyphs to start from. It’s more like a showcase of what is possible in a rectangle 5 pixels wide and 7 pixels tall.

Geascript 38

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

AEG MIS Geascript 38 (with added glyphs), monospaced http://www.aegmis.de/PRODUKTE/GEAVISIONELEMENTS/SEGMENT/tabid/587/language/de-DE/Default.aspx There’s basically no reason to use this font instead of Geascript 39, except if you dislike the novel lowercase letters (‘g’ etc.).
