What if Bank Gothic tried to dress up as Copperplate Gothic for Halloween?

This looks great, will you finish the digits please?
I've always said it: the last days of a Comp bring us the best fonts. Congratulations!
Great idea, cool examples bro, +10
Thank you all for the kind words :-)
@Peter: Why, what’s wrong with Roman numerals? There’s even an alternate |V| perfect for your digit |5|! ;-)
Jokes aside, yes, when and if I’ll have the time to expand it, numbers are first in line.
@elmoyenique: I agree! After all, quality takes time, and there’s not much time between when a competition is announced and when it ends.
Great work. Really impressive.
Nice vintage font. You can also make a version with horizontal lines engraved. which the fonts of that era had.
I know this font already has a built in drop shadow, but I wondered what it would look like with another drop shadow added.
@Sketchbook Thanks!
@Dmitriy Thank you. Yes, an engraved fill would be stylistically appropriate, but not so easy to achieve, on such a small grid, in FontStruct. Also, given the relatively narrow vertical and long horizontal bars, the result could be ungainly. But now you made me curious and perhaps I will try :-)
@Bryndan I intentionally made the drop shadow small and light, but ideally it should be a variable axis with two sliders that can move indipendently so that it can be freely placed wherever seems appropriate (one can dream ;-). Alternatively, I would remove the built-in drop shadow and either duplicate the text and use a displaced flatten-out version as my shadow, or, as in your sample, the built-in drop shadow effect of your software of choice.
RAINBOOOOOOOOOW SAMPLE
Stationery Gothic, not just for stationery!
Really nice use of the bricks and layers.
@thalamic Thanks! :-)
Numbers are coming… after the comp.
Serifs, outlines and shadows work well. Love the first set of samples.
@four. Thanks for the kind words :-)
I checked before naming this font, but apparently didn’t check hard enough: a Bank Gothic-like typeface called Stationers Gothic was released in 1942.
@meek Thank you for the honour!
And here are the numbers, as promised.
Very, nice. I think a 5 with middle line either chamfered or shifted little higher than rest of digits would be more pleasant, but I guess you have all other glyps like B, E, H vertically symerical too.
@Peter: That was exactly my quandary. I introduced some slight optical corrections in the numbers that aren’t in the letters. However, there isn’t a single horizontal middle bar across both letters and numbers that isn’t right in the center. The chamfer would also be an unique feature among all glyphs. I will think about it some more. But first there will be a new |K| (or two).
I wonder what chamfer means? I never seen or heard that word used until now…
@BWM: in this context, it refers to what’s highlighted by the red circles in this image.
will you upload the thin font like the "dial your" text font
@digitalio: I think so, eventually. But because it’s just the “fill” part of the whole, first I would like to hone and flesh out a bit more this typeface and, second, since most glyphs currently exists only in this colour font, and they can’t be copied to another, I need to figure out the best way to do it.
Congratulations on the TP, riccard0!
