Another font following a slant? Am I crazy?

So I saw this sample for a font called Macbeth that hasn't been digitized, so I took it into my own hands to do it. Check it!

My first font including cyrillic basic character set. Help me with they (I'm a complete newbie with the cyrillic glyphs), please. Waiting for your comments improving these glyhs .

I saw the logo for tramplin.tv [pictured below] a loooong time ago and was fascinated by it. It used to live on my computer desktop so I can look at it frequently. Even thought to redo it in fontstruct but...just looking at it, it was clear it wasn't doable...at least back then. At some point, the image was moved off to some other to-be-filed folder, and eventually I forgot about it.

I found it again the other day while hunting for some other file.

It was still fascinating. And in the meantime, fontstruct had grown up considerably (Thanks, Rob!). It was time to attempt doing it.

Well, kicked my ass, didn't it.

It seems so simple: One diagonal that goes from one letter to another in smooth transition, bisected by a different angle diagonals. No. Easy in concept, killer in making the geometry work of 2×1 diagonals to 1×4 diagonals.

No matter what thickness of diagonals were selected and whatever the gaps were left, the angles would not line up at some point or another. Which was confusing as 2 goes into 4 exactly 2 times, so things should have lined up without complication. I remembered, many years ago kix used Transparent Windows utility to make the browser transparent so he could trace silhouetted figures for one of his brilliant fs. Even tried tracing. Nope. After many failed attempts, had to break out Illustrator to better visualize the grid and diagonal guides of my own.

[See picture below]

Figuring out the geometry was much simpler in Ai. Found out where I was going wrong. First attempt at doing a and m and making them line up worked like a charm. From then on, it was just a matter of doing the glyphs. Some of them were simple to execute; others like e and c and especially z were quite difficult...at least for my limited intelligence.

Anyway, here it is.

Disclaimer: The original logo is probably copyrighted to someone. I don't own the rights to it. It is displayed here for comparision purposes and for full disclosure. If the owners of the original logo have a objection for its display here, it will be removed immediately.

“the pattern exchange” by four

Really excited to be able to share this fontstruction, as it was developed as the display font for a group exhibition in Dublin's Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. A kerned version (slightly tweaked using Glyphs) can be downloaded for free through the gallery website.

“Fraktur refined” by Wo steht das geschrieben?

Wed, 31 Dec 2014 03:31:27 +0000

Update of my other font with the rough edges cleaned up. Also has Lithuanian and Scandinavian alphabet characters (kind of). Recently brushed up a little more. Hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it.

“Skriptur” by Scawty

Thu, 22 May 2014 12:50:59 +0000

Just the Lowercase to a "Fraktur" type font. Work-in-progress. I'm hoping to add support for all the extra characters, diacritics, and such.

“Fraktur mit Ligatur für Literatur” by Wo steht das geschrieben?

Thu, 13 Feb 2014 01:46:26 +0000

This font is intended to replicate the appearance of old German printings of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It has character designations similar to PDF preview files from Literaturmühle publishing. It includes many ligatures that were once common in printing (in German) which are difficult to imitate with computer fonts and have fallen out of use in the digital age. This font includes ö,ä,ü,Ö,Ä,Ü and ß along with the following characters: What you type: What you get: c ch ligature % ck ligature ^ ss ligature \ ll ligature < sch ligature ` (dash) ~ tz ligature { ff ligature # st ligature @ si ligature $ c } ft ligature µ tt ligature [ fi ligature ] fl ligature ª sl ligature & ⁊ (Tironian et) s ſ (long "s") + s (small "s") > (horizontal rule) The Ligafaktur pragram available at http://www.ligafaktur.de/Startseite.html will allow you to type as normal while the program automatically replaces the individual letters with the correct ligatures.

Remember those games from the '80s? Well, here's a font for that.

“Super Mario Bros. NES” by John Smith (CFP)

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 10:18:35 +0000

Super Mario Bros NES is a very popular game released in 1985 by Nintendo. Ignore the lowercase letters, and you're allowed to use this font to create games in Scratch or even GameSalad. (:

“Brodat” by brigantiste

8-bit style blackletter typeface.

“Dlinalys” by kassymkulov

Mon, 20 May 2013 18:55:22 +0000

My previous Dlina had issues when downloading, and I wasn't just satisfied with it. So, here's different approach. Tried to achieve smooth connection on glyphs like s,k etc. Thanks.

“Schengbers LC” by kassymkulov

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 03:49:25 +0000

Just wanted to have some opinion and suggestions while making uppercase for each lowercase in here. Schengber (Шеңбер) means circle in my language. I want this to be a family, so ideas for "Schengbers uppercases", "Schengbers tall" & "Schengbers short" are in mind. Thanks and Enjoy!

“Gradius NES” by Patrick H. Lauke (redux)

Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:22:03 +0000

Pixel font recreation from Konami's classic "Gradius" (1986). A variation on the generic Nintendo font, most notable in the letters V, Y and in some of the numeral. This font includes the special characters from my standard Nintendoid 1 to make it more generally useful, and for the first time includes the strange "horizontal semicolon" used on most of the early Nintendo games' start screens.

EDIT August 2019: it appears I was off by one pixel on the "horizontal semicolon". Fixed now.

“Super Gothica” by julianmaunder

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 22:05:34 +0000

A throwback to the 8bit games of my childhood, Super Gothica is a black letter pixel font. Uppercase, numbers and basic symbols coming soon.

“Nintendoid 1” by Patrick H. Lauke (redux)

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 23:33:56 +0000

my take on the classic nintendo NES font. this is an amalgam of some of the type used in the early games like super mario bros, duck hunt, wild gun man and legend of zelda. i further added a handful of special characters, trying to match the style of the existing letters.

“mnml round” by regular_one

Clone of mnml round.

“Emerald Hill Zone” by darkgreen_orange

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:17:28 +0000

A classy font from Sonic 2 (Genesis), this one is used for the titles of different zones throughout the game. I may have recreated a few of the letters a little wrong, as this font is somewhat big (13x14ish), but I think I got it very close.
