This is my first ever font using ideas to make an heavy sans-serif typeface. I was inspired by elmoyenique and Jamie Place (FontBlast). I'm not stealing ideas from anybody by the way, I've wanted to share something to explain a journey of making my own fonts in life.
I got some aspect of making the glyphs look heavier. I've tried to make the letter f, but it flawlessly has the same height as the other glyphs. If I make number four, than I've obviously make it like this because the slanted bricks are not enough to make up a four glyph. Some of the glyphs (for example: ð, ß, ™, ®) are hard to build it because it was considered to be rounded by its curve and too small if the text was heavier.
When I run out of name ideas, the only idea of this font name i've chose is Lourde (french word for heavy).
Something "fun". Inspired by the many journeys I've made and by train travels. And by my grandchildren's train toys. The angular design echoes small table tops we sometimes use to put the tracks on ...
UC is normal weight and is used in the sampler (font name). LC has some thicker lines for increased legibility although this font is only meant to illustrate concepts (travel, finding new ways, diversification etc) or for logos, shop signs, invitations and similar. Not simple enough for use in anything long or complex that has to be easily read.
It's been a while since I've been very active here FS. I had this very incomplete font sitting around in my library and I really adored the slick, yet modern feel of these characters.
These characters are relatively small, and I felt that I needed to truly push the boundaries with a limited set of blocks.
Developped from the basic Raysan design I made to celebrate knowing P2P and appreciating his support when I first started FontStructing, I wanted a joyous more relaxed look to thank him.
This is a clone of RaysanThis is a small 10 pixel font that I am making primarily for low-res games and screens. The font is meant to be small but visually very pleasing. This font focuses primarily on letters that are still used today. So old letters or unused letters are not added. Right now it supports Latin, some Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Thai, Greek & Coptic. Due to addition of diacritics, and other markings, the distance between lines is somewhat bigger than most other fonts relative to the font size. I recommend you manually reduce the line distance by say -1 or -2 to squish the text a bit vertically. It is being used in a few games since it's inception.
Not a font but a fast way of getting a whole word written with the touch of one single keyboard key.
CHRISTMAS / YULE in several languages, using the Latin alphabet. Ideal for use in play groups etc. Great for printing, cutting out and then decorating the letters ;)

This is a pixel font that imitates Romanian archaic fonts used 1830 - 1860 latin alphabets meant to look like Cyrillic. There are many other variations but I tried to create the one that is most readable as pixel font. It also includes Romanian Cyrillic symbols used until 1860. I have also included other latin symbols that were in use for example sound ă was not standardized so you could write it as ĕ ĭ ŏ ŭ and it would mean the same thing or previous to 1860 Romanian latin used accents (accute, circumflex and grave) much like French language does today. All those extra latin symbols are included. I do not know Cyrillic so my experience with it is solely based on what I read about Romanian Cyrillic Alphabet on wikipedia and omniglot. Is worth to noting that Romanian territories used Old Church Slavonic as administrative language until the 16th or 17th century .
