I’d put a Lupin III joke in here, but I’m too lazy. Basically just Lyle, but with the build of your average swimmer. 100% free, Shrump's Guarantee!
This is a clone of Lyle II: The Waggoner Strikes BackA typographical sequel to “Lyle”. 100% Free.
This is a clone of Lyne (Lyle II-B)Not based off of any specific font, just that blocky stencil style from the 60s/70s (Futura Black, Braggadocio). And yes, it’s named after the dude from the Love Boat. Called it a demo because I might make an extended alt in the future that’s also easier to read. 100% free… or is it? Yeah, you know it is.
An expanded edition of Bovin, including a lower case and alternates. Before you like this, make sure to like Bovin Lowercase by Digitalio-2 and Bovin C by Dmitriy Sychiov, who came up with the idea of a lowercase and most of the new characters. 100% free.
This is a clone of Bovin’I noticed a certain lack of Ogham fonts (Ogham being an old way of writing old English in old Englishey times, carved into the corners of big rocks), so I decided to fix that. And put a bit of style into it as well. 100% free.
This is a clone of VCR MultilineThe best possible re-creation of the seemingly unknown font used on a lot of Ben Bova book covers (and by that I mean literally 2, Privateers and Empire Builders), at least to my abilities. It doesn’t really have a lower case, just alternates used on the book covers or just alternate imaginings of what the other letters might look like. 100% free, and kerned to insanity for your pleasure ;)
This is a spin-off of sorts to a project I’m working on, inspired by Burko bold (the original, as used in the PONG logo). Might release the more direct adaptation later, but for this one, I decided to change it up and make it my own. Basic components and some characters from Eternal by AidenFont because I don't know how to make some of them myself :P. 100% free, and kerned to insanity for your pleasure.
This is a cloneVideodisc Multiline (a.k.a. “Francis”) is a sort of companion piece to VCR Multiline. It isn’t as detailed and doesn’t have a lower case, but it still has a certain charm that just couldn’t be scrapped. Sorta got this 80s book cover look, which makes sense cause that’s what I was thinking of when designing it. Also, it’s 100% free.
This is a clone of VCR MultilineA "Serif Gothic-ified" version of gaspipe-style lettering from Ernst Bentele's "Schrift". Letterforms are based on the "Normal Oblique" version, but alternates for the "Outside-round/inside-square" and "Outside and inside round" versions are included.
Sans-serif Version (currently with extra shapes and symbols): ETC Gaspipe Sans
A gaspipe-style display typeface based on a sample from Ernst Bentele's "Schrift". Letterforms are based on the "Normal Oblique" version, but alternates for the "Outside-round/inside-square" and "Outside and inside round" versions are included.
Miscellaneous shapes and arrows are also included
I was initially planning on publishing only the serif version, but decided to publish this version as well for those who want it
This is a clone of ETC Gaspipe SerifGot tired of making little edits so here is a pretty much complete version with alternates and stuff. It’s called VCR Multiline because it kind of looks like the kind of thing you would see on a VCR or other hi-fi machine from the 70s/80s.
This is a clone of VCR MultilineORIENTFAHRTEN (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 so, that 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 cloneBased off of the logo of the Japanese cologne Mandom. Since I couldn’t find the font, I decided to make my own. There isn’t really a lower case, and the lower case letters are really just alternates. Also, it's 100% free.
UPDATE: pretty sure the font I was trying to replicate is called Benguiat Buffalo, so… that’s interesting. Also changed the name from 'Mandom' because me think of joke.
'Sacred Textura', by Studio Sampersand, blends medieval Textura blackletter with contemporary design. Crafted with precision, it balances tradition and innovation. Its structured forms and intricate details convey strength and authority. The font follows a precise wide pen stroke-width that follows the hexagonal grid lines; creating a consistent neo-traditional textura font design.
