Had quite a bit of fun with this blueprint inspired font for the competition, numbers have been incorporated to best measure glyph length, angles and so forth. Please enjoy~

Love your re-interpretation of traditional Roman serifs! The exaggerated proportions (especially the big, circular bowls) really slots itself snuggly in between Art Deco and Art Noveau styles as well. Those exposed angles and technical lines also really helps give it structure and balance throughout the character set.

My only qualm is that certain letters are a bit too thick ('z') and thin ('t') in some strokes. But other than that, this is a really good conceptual typeface! All the best in the competition!

This is brilliant. 

Comment by thalamic 6th may 2024

I like this idea, 10/10. However it needs to be of certain size, to show off all its features. The only shame is, the Fontstruct preview makes the thin lines look too thick. Don't forget the numbers preview, good luck in competition.

Comment by elmoyenique 6th may 2024

i don't like the W, its just a rotates M

Comment by anonymous-2100581 6th may 2024

Brilliant. Wish I'd done it. Something will have to be really spectacular to beat this.

Comment by Peter Stanford (textgod) 6th may 2024

Great idea and beautifully developed!

Comment by four 6th may 2024

That's amazing! Although I'm not really a fan of the upside-down M for W, and there's some inconsistent styling between K/k and W/w. But great work!

Comment by V. Sarela (Yautja) 6th may 2024

Huge thanks for the kind words and input!
 

Elmoyenique, thank you for the numbers sample & thank you Petruuccio for the comparison sample~

if this one doesn't win, I don't know what else.

This is beautiful work.

Comment by moontr3 7th may 2024

@moontr3: One of the three winners will be the one with the most additions to the favorites, so this font has already won this category, I think it has won our hearts.

Comment by Dmitriy Sychiov (Sychoff) 7th may 2024

Like... How? This is unreal my friend, what a absolute gem!

Comment by Sed4tives 10th may 2024

BTW @faux_icing: To get around those distorted fontstruct previews and render "crisp" looking previews straight from your browser, simply adjust zoom level of your browser window.

Ctrl+Mouse Wheel Down   (Make sure to zoom out completely, 30% is max. in Firefox)

This makes everything on the page to appear smaller, but, it also extends the available range of the font size slider in the preview widget. In other words, this now allows rendering a font preview at much larger size before it will no longer fit on the screen.

It basically changes the aspect ratio of the displayed contents (incl. that of the font preview widget box), providing better zoom to size ratios, hence, better rendering quality.

Number 8 has a tiny hole on its left side. And some of the guidelines are somewhat rough and occasionally don't align. Is this something you will eventually fix?

Comment by Sed4tives 10th may 2024

@Sed4tives good eyes you have to spot that tiny hole. I could only see it whith font size like above 400. On the FS preview page it would not be visible, since to me it seems fonstruct always tries to wrap every brick into separate thin envelope and if there are multiple such over same line, they superimpose and make that area look bloated. (I tried your suggestion with the browser zoom, but could not see any better preview.)

Comment by Peter (Petruuccio) 10th may 2024

@Sed4tives, your thoughts and keen eyes are quite appreciated!

Excellent work. It was a brave move to include fine curves and thin lines using the crude FS toolset. Congratulations. 10/10

Congrats on the win, this is a really impressive font

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 21st may 2024

A gargantuan thank you to each and every one for the adulation and all of the hearts :)

An equally enormous thank you to Mr. Meek, Rainer and Ben!

This is quite the honor~

Skhe"mati"que?

Comment by scratch_ruff 8th june 2024

The name comes from the etymology of schematic with the ancient Greek "skhema" meaning "the nature of a thing" and the french suffix "ique" borrowed from Latin meaning "in the manner of." The "mati" is purely coincidental

Comment by tortoiseshell 12th june 2024

skhematique = "in the manner of the nature of a thing"
