FCZL font is a modular geometric typeface inspired by the aesthetics of football fan culture and graffiti.

This is a remake of the FCZL font I created back in 2012. It was my very first font, and I dedicated it to the football club Zorya — more specifically, to the fan community of FC Zorya Lugansk (UA). I was an active part of that scene: we painted graffiti and traveled all over Ukraine to support the team. Those were good times.

Now, in 2025, it has been more than ten years since the war began in my country, and my city, Lugansk, is occupied by Russia. The football club no longer plays there, and my ultras friends and I had to leave. Some of them have died as combatants. I want to dedicate this font to those guys.

I’ve redesigned many of the letters, making them more readable and consistent. The font is no longer monospaced, which allowed for a more appealing Cyrillic set. Still, the font is far from perfect, and I welcome any feedback and critique from the FontStruct community.

It’s amazing that this site still exist, big respect!

Found on London Underground stations.

The goals for this typeface was to create a quirky design, inspired by the map of the underground. I ensured that my letters abided by the rules that Harry Beck set while designing the map - horizontal, vertical and 45° lines, and incorporating circles into my design. I wanted this typeface to have a friendly feel and to reflect the theme of the community through the idea of connection.

This typeface is based around the word SYSTEMATIC. Systematic is something that is acted upon according to a set plan. The main inspiration for this typeface has come from Harry Beck’s London Underground Map. First published in 1933, Beck's map has now been used to show many different transport routes for different cities across the globe. The typeface itself is very angular and includes very little curves throughout. Although the letterforms aren’t reflective of any geographical locations, each letter reflects both the stations and the railway lines from Beck’s map.
