━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The main inspiration came from those early to mid-20th century geometric grotesque sans-serifs, and visual environment of that era.
Although the characters were mostly geometrically constructed, and remain as close as possible to basic geometry, STF Grootesk includes a blend of stylish hints of hand-crafted lettering influence and intentional irregularities in order to tribute those classical geometric designs.

For extra additional emphasis the design tries to take advantage of a rather unusual vertical Uc>Lc proportion, with ascender parts of the 'Lc' characters sitting well bellow the cap-height, making the 'Uc' appear strikingly taller in comparison.

Some of the other characteristics of the design are it's sturdy and stylish yet clean presence, with little to no contrast, and comes in bold-weight only.

But to compensate for the lack of extra weight versions there was some serious time invested into additional testing and optimizing the entire typeface. So it is super well mastered and therefor extremely versatile.

That being said..

Since this is seen in small size preview, looks can be deceptive at first glance, and this indeed might seem to appear as being basic looking.

Even though this is far from just that other basic looking display sans, nor your next boring geometric grotesque!

Minute corrections and all sorts of other precise surgical adjustments have been implemented to achieve uniform construction rhythm, and to deliver the best possible balance between clarity, versatility and personality over pure geometric aesthetics.

There is no question whether this could hand out "a 'one-punch' K.O." of a Headliner, thats obvious. But this unyielding bumpy behemoth just as well takes u for the long run, effortlessly telling you fascinating stories.

Especially well cared for optimized rendering on a computer display device, and deliver simple yet versatile seemless digital typeset material.

Thus, providing this very function efficient and reliable  ‘Working-Horse’  typeface.   ―A  ‘one-style-fits-all'   powerhouse.

It equally works great in very small body-print size for books or web design application as it also does in large format for headings, ads or branding.

From a FontStructor-perspective point-of-view I would recommend taking a more ‘closed-up’-view of the typeface.

This creates a better awareness and greater appreciation for the level of complexity that is presented in both it's form and function.

Zooming in on some of the characters would actually reveal a rather subtle, yet nuanced diversity of this previously hidden underlying personal characteristics.

And suddenly just the overall care for detail that went into every bit of the design, the tons of custom shaping, transitions and additional smoothing will start to emerge.

Zoomed in even deeper it will even shed some light on the stuff that often works invissibly and without your awareness.

STF_ELEGANZA (Therapy) - Contemporary geometric humanist sans
==============================================
A font style, that while simplified by old tradition, saw new light by modern sophistication.

It comes in a solid medium weight that is very suitable for body style text with good readability, But it does perfect clear headlines or advertisement as well.

==============================================

The goal was to make a clean but somewhat more contemporary and playful take on a 'Grotesque' sans-style.

In an attempt to break away from the traditional trend of Grotesque type designs which evolved more around pure geometric shapes and aim for perfect circular, triangular or square shaped letterforms, and in return give many of them a somewhat harsch and featureless mechanical appearance. I choose to achieve the opposite, aiming for a softer, friendlier and more humanized feeling instead.

==============================================

Dimensions: (in grid units)
X-Height:              1 .625
Cap-Height:          1 .875
Type Size:              2 .375
Em:                        3 .5

Brick Size filter:     2 : 2

==============================================

This is the 'Therapy'-style in the 'ELEGANZA' typeface family. This version basically aims for the exact opposite effect than what the Tight' version did. The name 'Therapy' relates to its 'opened-up' appearence and the overall de-stressed propperties of this version. The more relaxed and spacious distribution remotely resembles the characteristic feel of a typewriter face. But the main purpose for this version is to create visual hierarchy in your layout.

BENGALIQUE - Contemporary grotesk type

A condensed geometric Grotesque style, that at first glimpse looks somewhat simplistic. And for the larger part this is true. The goal was to do a ever so slightly spiced up take on this 19th Century classic style.

At it's core, the letterforms have this strong geometric grotesque backbone that is easy to recognize.
While trying to preserve that unpolished characteristic classic Grotesque basic form, I attempted implementing some personal twists, hoping to make a more contemporary but faithful variation to it's crude classic renegade traditions.

Some of the more distinguishing features for this font are it's heavily condensed style, the somewhat quirky curvatures, overshoot and/-or tapered ends in certain 'sweet spots' on a glyph's leg or terminal.
At random some legs will also ascend and descend just a tiny tad bit, gently adding this extra layer of dynamic depth and playfulness.
Spurs are slightly tapered, counters, negative spaces are in mostly rectangular and do not mirror their convex outer curves, in fact the only concave curvatures within a partially enclosed negative space are those that have strokes intersecting or when a curved shape is used to replace diagonals.
(such as; "B, Kk, Ss, Xx, Y, Zz" numerals; "2, 3, 5, 8")
Note that a couple more unmentioned characters make use of concave curves as well to accentuate specific choices.
(such as; "R, t, ß, etc.")

Visual corrections and optical compensating was exclusively performed on the top part of the glyphs, not their bottom.

-- Some additional side-bearing and kerning is still required --

No filters used...

The font works best for 'Display Type' at most point size. In smaller quantities it can be used for 'Body Type' as well with some proper adjustments to the horizontal spacing. But, nonetheless the font's condensed nature, it's tight letter spacing and some thinner strokes still heavilly affect the flexibility for legible Body-Type-use.

Recommended size for Digital-Display-use is 28pts or higher, and bellow 20pts the font becomes unreadable in Digital-Display-use. But I hope you like it so far, and feel free to let me know what u guys think! ?

That's all for now folks..

Cheers

STF_CARE SENSITIVE - A modern hairline sans style typeface.

=================================================

design grid: 3,5 × 4,5 units

brick size filter: 2 × 2

stroke weight: 1/8

=================================================

I tried to incorporate rounded letter parts and corners but this was very tricky to pull off with this thin stoke weight. The font works best at small size due to very small imperfctions.

I hope you like it nonetheless!

NOBUNTU (Pro) -Contemporary humanist sans style typeface.

Updated version of my previously published NOBUNTU font. This version includes much more characters, symbols, many ligatures, as well as language support for most Latin languages.

It is a medium weight, contemporary geometric gothic humanist sans-serif style design with rounded corners and smooth curves. All curves have a slight top & bottom overshoot. The basic Latin string, numerals and punctuation are fully kerned as well as the majority of important characters in the extended Latin string. But some still need a slight adjustment.

The basic idea was inspired by the gentle round corners seen in the Ubuntu and other similar fonts. (But don't make any mistakes, it is most definetly a different font)  ;)

So far I am very pleased with the clean and legible result.

Enjoy!

GEO-PROTESQUE - Geometric grotesque typeface

This time I did a attempt to make a typical super rounded geometric grotesque typeface.  Which is a very popular style for headline and display text. Although I tried to make a contemporary looking typeface, I kind of remained faithful to plain geometry. This font style is far from unique and could somewhat be compared with that of typefaces such as HAUS Sans, TT Norms and LL Circular

(3 great commercial pro fonts that were made by some great other designers!)

===========================================

One of the most important rules for this font was to have near perfect circular letterforms in both upper and lowercase. To pull this off properly it required a large grid faux-Bézier approach.Everything else just enfolded along the way. The design, (obviously) a geometric grotesque, but also has a neo-grotesque feel as well. The almost quirky looking letter widths give this a very strong early 1900s feel.

While many letters mostly have even stroke width, upclose you'll notice some stroke width variation is going on after all. This to bring more conttract into certain area's.

The font is optimized for Body-Type in both Digital- and Print-use at very small point sizes. In Digital-display-use it performs crisp even as low as 9pts. (Not bad at all I think)

Cheers

A pretty simple looking variable sans-serif design.

The font allows you to modify the width of nearly every glyph. The one exception that can not be changed is the exclamation mark. I tried to simplify it the best I could, but it remains a little tricky to use, sorry.

HOW TO USE:

To type any sensible text you should start with the uppercase of a certain letter (this will create the left side of it). Followed by the corresponding extender to widen the glyph (repeat this step for a even wider result), and to complete the full letter you close the string with the lowercase glyph for this specific letter (this will create the right side).

There are a couple of glyphs that work slightly different.

These are I,M,T,W,Y, numerals and some punctuations.
To widen "I and T" the extenders are typed before and after the actual letter combination instead of in between.
M,W and Y are split in three (center stem is isolated) in order to allow one to make changes on both sides. To correctly type one of these you start with the uppercase for this specific letter, followed by the corresponding extender, followed by the corresponding center stem, followed with the extender once more, and as last to complete the full letter close the string with the lowercase glyph for this specific letter.

To extend the colon and semi-colon you complete the string for either period or comma first, followed by ;(semi-colon). This will place a dot above it.
And as last, to make a underscore simply use the string for period but with extra extenders.

The numerals work as listed bellow:
•  1:|_
•  2z
•  #3
•  4-|-
•  5s
•  6s
•  7*
•  8b
•  9$
•  0o

The extenders are located in the following locations:

` - _ # = :

The isolated stems are located in the following locations:

|  }

SPARSENESS is a minimalistic type design with a modern appearance.

It's main purpose was the aim to perform well even at a small point-size. Therefore the letterforms carefully keep plenty of open space in order to remain legible even at small point-size.

- For the best fontstruct preview set pixel resolution value  to 13.

Enjoy!

Thin (multi-) stroked art deco type design.

The name derived from the fact that it is a thin stroked art deco design with little to no fancy decorative features, other than its multi-line segments. Hence the name "ART ECO"

The fontstruct preview making some diagonal strokes look slightly thicker than the horizontal and vertical ones due to it's behaviour on brick stacking. Which isn't in the TTF font itself.

A slanted and edgy typeface best used for display graphics.

All of the uppercase leans right while the lowercase leans left.

Thanks for taking a look!

Blackletter, as small as possible, as elegant as possible.
