Here I present another variation of Como Splitt (startet in 2014) in grayscale. Some glyphs have been modified in their breaks, as well as a few other details such as curves and size.
db Como is one of my oldest typeface families, and I still enjoy working with it very much. It comes in various styles, such as Mono, Stencil, Sans Serif/Mix, as well as different weights. -

Interesting variation on your Como family. I can foresee the splits being used in other ways, like pizza slices, stained glass, or cardboard cutouts. (✯ᴗ✯)
I don’t know how you manage this; pretty much everything you put out is a polished masterpiece.
@faux_icing: I beg to disagree. This would be far more applicatory at a bouldering gym. ;)
@groan or a factory, i think
@faux_icing wdym with pizza slices?
Heavy sans serif with playful stencil cuts at various angles. Extended Latin set. Great addition to the Como family. 10/10
PS: stray pixels at letter a and ‰.
@Gr4ftY @Luca: Perhaps this would make it easier to understand what I meant. But of course @beate these are just fun suggestions. The world is your oyster!
@faux_icing: Apologies, this was meant just to be poking fun—didn’t mean to start a debate. Sorry about that.
@faux_icing ok i get it now
@Frodo Oh, thanks, I was having that old problem with the twisted bricks. I guess I overlooked them ; )
@faux_icing There are certainly many ways to decorate the pieces with various themes or patterns. It’s just like your favorite pizza…
: )
I’m glad you stopped by and appreciate your comments.
Pretty nice font, but glyph alternates (possibly via .rand through Glyphs) to add variation would make it even better.
(The pizza themed A in that sample is making me hungry)
@BWM
Okay, I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here: about .rand through Glyphs? Do you mean the left boundary of the glyphs? Show me an example.
An excellent variant on your previous work!
@beate The left boundary of glyphs refers to the “lfbd” feature, which is called by the “opbd” feature, which stands for Optical Bounds, which is a GPOS feature. “Rand” stands for glyph randomization, which is a GSUB feature (preferably via type 3). The feature is especially useful for handwriting fonts and to add variation in words with multiple of the same letter in them.
The “through Glyphs” part means that Glyphs supports the creation and editing of color fonts.
An example of where this is used is a font called Punk Nova, which is an OpenType version of Donald Knuth's Punk font (sample in this comment shows the word Bookkeeper in the font mentioned, where the O's, K's and E's look different from each other).
(I keep putting “above”, when the sample is positioned below the comment it's attached to)
@BWM does the font “Barrio” use .rand ?
