Inspired by Dry Heat Medials and English cursive, named Atlantico because it's similar to Pacifico.

ORIENTFAHRTEN (Pro) — Semi-connected script-style font design
═══════════════════════════════════
Losely based on the lettering that was seen on a 1929 poster design by German painter Ottomar Carl Joseph Anton (1895-1976) for the “Hamburg-Amerika Line” * (click for image of the original poster)
Whereas the original (non-Pro)-version aimed at extracting that “stylistic essence” of the lettering, and made an attempt at extrapolating and restoring a full alphabet from the letters provided by the original poster. And this basically became sort-of a font revival with a little extra's.
ORIENTFAHRTEN (Pro) than took this to a whole other level, This refor-mation wasn't guided by Ottomar's original poster-lettering, but rather a remodeling and amelioration of my initial work.
Many glyphs were fully re-invented, others only just partially improved.
In addition to this, many new things were introduced as well. For example, the font was further ornated with various typographic elements and bits, reminiscent of calligraphic hand lettering. Turning this into a much more attractive looking little novelty.
Also some “technical” restructuring of the Unicode character mapping, to creating more user-friendly text formatting properties.
Since it is a semi-connected script, certain characters were deliboratly disconnect and some weren't. For example, the uppercase letters almost all disconnect, whereas the majority of lowercase letters will connect by default. A set of glyphs alternate forms was included that allow to break the 'connected' flow of a text.
These also function sort-of as “Contextual Substitutions”, but without OpenType's automated glyph-stream lookup classes. Yet these do allow the manual control over word-endings and word-space situations. So when a default-glyph is followed by a white-space, a glyph-alternate form could than be selected to replace the default-character encoding and improve overall aesthetics and natural flow of text. These substitutions are located in the “Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms” and “Private Use Area's” Unicode blocks. In addition to the default alphabet letters the font also includes numerous symbols and punctuation marks, as well as ligatures.
As for the “numberscomp” that is currently in progress:
This font was specially fitted with 5different schemes for text figure arrangement.
• Didot-(old style) non-lining (font default)
• Traditional-(old style) non-lining
• Clean-(modern) lining
• Tradidotional-(old style) non-lining
• Ornate-(modern) lining
— This does temporarily create a new problem for me though... As this would be my fourth submission to the competition, where a maximum of only three font submissions is allowed. Now, which of these previous entries am I going to eliminate?!
I hope you like it,
Cheers
This is a cloneWork-in-progress, but enjoy as is. :)
Scurvy reconstructs the traditional characteristics of blackletter textur script within a low-fidelity digital parameter.
This typeface was designed by Carson Chang.

Formerly called PIR8BIT.
This is a cloneMIKITA - A "Chrome Script" style font based on the "Makita" logo type.
It is a simple 'semi' connected script, with only the basic character set. I don't feel like this requires having tons of typographic features. It is just aimed at writing simple things in this script style.
I hope you like it nonetheless
Cheers
BACK TO THE FRAKTUR - Modular geometric calligraphic blackletter
============================================
Calligraphy inspired design, that even though it's name can be deceptive, suggesting one in thinking it is a Fraktur derivative. Which is actually quite not the case, and as far as being a calligraphic Blackletter inspired work, the similarities between the two stop.
This is a heavily simplified and geometric take on the calligraphic style, with much more modernized letterforms as well.
It remains a WIP, but I'd love to hear what u think so far.
Cheers
