Mission to Mars

<>

Earth's celestial neighbor, Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system. The presence of iron oxide, or rust, gives Mars its characteristic red hue and its nickname the "Red Planet". Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, named after the Greek gods of fear and dread respectively while Mars takes its name from the Roman god of war.

A simple red monospaced typeface with a little bit of old school sci-fi flair.

Notes:

Colonize Mars.

Lessons in Composition, Vol. 1

///

Less of a typeface and more of a concept, Lessons in Composition, Vol. 1 (LC,V.1) was a fun experiment with a compossion based typeface and negative space. Strictly geometric, each character in LC,V.1 is made out of rectangles, circles, curves, and the subtraction of these shapes.

///

Notes:

LC,V.1 is set in #f90000 (red) and #2a2a2a (slightly off black). All of the white space is transparent.

The cyanotype was developed in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. This process, commonly used for blueprints, involved placing an object onto a surface and covering it in a solution of Iron (III) salts. Once the solution is exposed to ultraviolet light, the Iron (III) salts are converted into Iron (II) salts. After exposure, the suface is washed and the water reacts with the Iron (II) salts to form a Prussian Blue pigment that blueprints are known for.

Manufaktur is a monospaced typeface and while it has upper and lower case letters, it is really unicase. Manufaktur is intentionally stripped of most characters, coming with only the most essential. The idea being that Manufaktur has the bare minimum, but is still functional as a typface. It was designed with the intentions to be used in a machine shop more than on a page.

Notes:

Manufaktur is set in #002c8c, as a reference to blueprints. I had wanted to use Pantone's Prussian Blue (#003153) but it was too dark.

Some of the stenil lines (C, J, O, Q, U, 0, and 2) were made using white bricks. I had experimented ways to get the stencil lines without using white bricks, but it looked much cleaner with them. Being a color font, you should be able to change the color of the white bricks to mach your background. It's not ideal, but it's what looked the best.

First of all, I need to give credit where credit is due. This font is based on the Maserati logo and regular cursive. Secondly, this font is only lowercase for right now. I've played with some symbols and uppercase but it will probably stay like this. It's mainly intended for use as a display font and not in conjunction with any other glyphs. Suggestions Welcome.

Suggestions welcome.
