A MONOSPACE DEVIATION FROM ALDRON

I HAD TO DUMP THE LETTERFORMS INTO A NEW FILE (THAT WASN’T CLONED FROM ALDRON), BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THE KERNING FOR THIS MONOSPACE FONT.

KINDA BASED ON MY HANDWRITING.

A FUTURISTIC LETTER “A”!!

MY FUNNY LETTER “K”!!

AN OVER-EXTENDED EM DASH!!

WEIRD UPSIDE-DOWN CYRILLIC LETTERS THAT NOBODY’S HEARD OF!!

IT’S ALL HERE IN MY NEW FONT — ALDRON.

I THOUGHT THAT THIS FONT NEEDED MORE ATTENTION THAN THE ONE THAT I CLONED IT FROM, WHICH WAS MADE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. AS WELL AS ADDING THE LATIN AND GREEK ALPHABETS, I MADE A FEW ADDITIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CYRILLIC LETTERS AS WELL AS SPACING. AND UNLIKE ITS PREDECESSOR, THIS ONE IS KERNED.

IT WAS QUITE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE, ACTUALLY, ADAPTING A CYRILLIC FONT FOR LATIN INSTEAD OF VICE VERSA.

MADE THIS WHILE WATCHING DR. DOLITTLE II ON T.V.. I WAS INSPIRED BY THE ELUSIVE FONT THAT I SEE EVERYWHERE IN VIDEOS OF RUSSIA AND BELARUS.

THIS IS MY THIRD AND FINAL ENTRY TO THE COMPETITION. MY LAST ENTRY WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THAT GOT TAKEN DOWN FOR RICKROLL-RELATED REASONS.

THIS IS MY SECOND ENTRY INTO THE FUTURECOMP.

WHAT COULD BE MORE FUTURISTIC THAN A BUNCH OF JAPANESE CHARACTERS?

THIS IS MY FIRST JAPANESE FONT, SO I’VE PROBABLY GOT IT ALL WRONG.

HERE’S MY VISION FOR THE FUTURE: EVERYBODY USING THE CYRILLIC ALPHABET! NAH, JUST KIDDING. IT WORKS WELL FOR RUSSIAN, BUT IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE FOR ENGLISH.

MY MOST LEGIBLE FONT YET: E.

MY GOAL FOR THIS WAS TO MAKE A COMPLETE GROTESQUE FONT IN ONE DAY, AND I THINK THAT I ACCOMPLISHED THAT. WHEN IN DOUBT: PIXEL FONT!

Ko tenei momotuhi i mahia mō Te Reo.

Feel free to clone it and add letters for other languages. Even an upper case.

ALTERNATIVES CAN BE FOUND IN THE LOWER CASE TO CHANGE THE NOISE DISTRIBUTION.

I WASN’T REALLY THINKING ABOUT THE CYRILLIC ALPHABET WHEN I DESIGNED IT, SO THE LETTERS: “А” AND “Л” AND “Н” AND “П” ARE THE SAME.

This was featured inside my font: Pelagic Octopus.

Some alternative (less intrusive) forms are found in the capital section.

Use a size of thirteen point in order for the pixels to match up.

INTENDED LANGUAGE SUPPORT

• BELARUSIAN

• BULGARIAN

• ENGLISH

• HAWAIIAN

• NORWEGIAN

• RUSSIAN

• SERBIAN (CYRILLIC AND LATIN)

• SLOVENIAN

• TE REO MĀORI

• UKRAINIAN

THIS IS BASED ON MY HANDWRITING. NOT MY REGULAR HANDWRITING — THAT DOESN’T ALLOW FOR LOWER-CASE LETTERS; SO WHENEVER I NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING WITH LOWER-CASE LETTERS (SUCH AS IN EXAMS.), I USE THIS STYLE.

I KNOW THAT IN PLACES IT LOOKS A BIT BROKEN. BUT AT THE SMALL SIZES OF BULK TEXT, IT SHOULDN’T BE TOO NOTICEABLE; IT’S NOT REALLY DESIGNED AS A DISPLAY FONT.

AND I ALSO KNOW THAT SOME SERIFS AND STROKES AREN’T EXACTLY COMMONPLACE (SEE THE UPPER SERIFS ON THE LETTER: “u”). IT’S JUST HOW MY HANDWRITING TURNED OUT.

INTENDED LANGAUGE SUPPORT

• ENGLISH

• RUSSIAN

• TE REO MĀORI

“WHAKAITI” IS A MĀORI WORD MEANING “TO MAKE SMALL”. IT’S ROUGHLY PRONOUNCED: “ɸɑkɑiti”.

“MOTU” IS A MĀORI WORD MEANING “ISLAND” OR “SEPERATE”.

I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING THIS FONT. IT WOULD PROBABLY CRASH YOUR COMPUTER OR SOMETHING.

DON’T THINK THAT I’M SHOUTING ABOUT THIS. I JUST DON’T LIKE LOWER-CASE LETTERS!

THERE YOU GO, @bluemon . I DID THE BEST THAT I COULD WITH THE CYRILLIC (THE ONLY THING THAT I TOUCHED). I’M REALLY PROUD OF THE CAPITALS. MOST OF THE LOWER CASE IS OKAY, BUT A LOT OF LOWER-CASE CYRILLIC LETTERS HAVE THEIR OWN “SUB-X-HEIGHT” IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, SO THEY’RE BASICALLY JUST THE CAPITALS BUT SMALLER. THAT WAS QUITE HARD TO WORK AROUND, SINCE THAT FEATURE IS COMPLETELY NONEXISTANT IN THIS FONT (SEE YOUR LETTER: “s”). SO I’M NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT “э”, AND KIND OF RESORTED TO THE HANDWRITTEN FORMS FOR: “в”, “д”, “з”, “и”, “й”, “у”, “ц”, “ш”, and “щ”. I DON’T KNOW, MAYBE @Dmitriy Sychiov (Sychoff) CAN POLISH IT OFF!

OH, AND I DIDN’T KERN ANYTHING, THERE’S A LITTLE PRESENT FOR YOU :D

THIS FONT WAS IN A STYLE THAT I ACTUALLY FOUND PRETTY HARD TO ACCOMPLISH. BUT AS SOON AS I DIDN’T CARE ABOUT ADHERING TO MY STRICT CONSISTENCY, I GOT IT DONE QUICK AS.

Buy & download premium fonts on MyFonts.com and all that.

See what I did there?

FontStruct really really needs a dithering tool. I’m basically blind now, dithering all these letters by hand.

WELL THAT WAS A BIT OF A WASTE OF TIME.

FOR ALL YOUR ANTIQUE SLAVIC NEEDS.

THIS FONT IS KERNED TO THE MAX..

ЭТО ПРОСТО РУССКИЙ КУРСИВ ДЛЯ ЗАГОЛОВКОВ.
