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:
| }
Words are often read by looking at the shape and not spelling, what I have attempted to do with this typeface is to make the reader focus more on the letters within the words.
As the name suggests, Balky can be awkward to read due to some of the letters looking similar, as well as its chunky build, making people have to use the context of the sentence. I hope this will make an impact on how well people engage with some text as well as being aesthetically interesting.
This is a cloneCārakkaṭṭu means "scaffolding" in the oldest language in the world: Tamil. Why use Tamil and what does this have to do with this font? Well, Tamil is the foundation of all modern languages, it is the earliest form of verbal communication. I am exploring what makes a building stable or unstable, so; you need strong foundations for a good building, but scaffolding if it becomes unstable. Cārakkaṭṭu represents the foundations of a building that has become unstable, and needs to be repaired again.
The "Real" Font
I have done an assignment to do a font. I was told to make a font of MY design. That was it. Yet, my teacher demanded and threathened my with zero because I needed to make "A REAL FONT", so I made a "REAL" font.
It is a font I just put together. If it is an exact replica to someone else's font, let me know and I will edit it immediately.
Please. I don't want to plagerise anyone. Than you.
I spent a lot of time making this font, it is based On the premise that too many fonts are way to ambiguous, so this is a fix for that, also I have added a copyright symbol, I replaced the vertical bar with the copyright symbol, because as far as I know the vertical bar symbol is rarely if ever used...( I have not seen it used in allmost anything I have viewed or read in all my life, except that it is there in the font character listing, so why is it there? certainly a copyright symbol would be more useful don't you think?) as for the "blockiness" of the C in the copyright symbol, keep in mind, that it is designed to have a maximum width of 9 pixels, so for what it is I think it is good, basically you cant get a smaller bitmaped based copyright symbol where it is as crisp and where the c is not pointed like a less than symbol and the c is not "touching" the circle it is in which would make it harder to read... so if you do see fit to use it I hope you are happy with it...
This typeface shows impracticality and functionless. Like a decoration, this type has no function or use beyond being just something to look at. Each character is collapsing downwards with the different shapes in each letter slipping apart from each other. Some letters have completely collapsed whereas others are still falling apart.
OIL RIG is based on the theme "destructive" particulary with regards to environmental destruction. I based my font on the structure of oil rigs; I think they have sense of beauty about them, but behind that there is a sinister note, as they are facilitating the human led destruction of our planet.
The extraction of oil for the manufacture of products such as plastic, is having a detrimental effect on our planet. Oil spills eradicate marine communities, and plastic products pollute our oceans. This is an issue which I feel needs more attention.
UPPERCASE DISPLAY FONT
Inspired by the combination of digital code, alien inscription and bold Greek and Russian typography; this font was created with "confident" being the main theme.
The visual features of confidence have been a focal point in the production of this font. Generally, confidence is associated with being bold and comfortable with ones self. But since a font is far from being human, I wanted to specifically focus on the combination of poise and shape.
My font was created with the idea of mess and chaos in mind with each letter having a different 'contents'
It is supposed to represent something similar to pin and string art. The white dots representing the pins and the lines within representing the string. It might come across as a little complicated or hard to distinguish each letter however I think it gives it an authentic look.
Zakhrafa is a type of Islamic art which consists of embellished geometric designs. It is often used to complement Arabic calligraphy on architecture to bookcovers and various media. The inspiration of this font comes from the various Islamic patterns that can be seen on buildings all across Qatar. After living there for 8 years, I learned a lot about the Islamic culture which is what I want the font to reflect.
This is a clone"One Small Step For Man" is my futuristic font based on the theme of ambition. I wanted to create a simplistic and wide font that is longer in width than height in order to replicate the long steps taken by Neil Armstrong when he was the first man to walk on the moon. This was an iconic moment in history and a key representation of ambition and the ideology that we can do anything if we believe.
Binary ASCII font, based on computer QWERTY keyboard key frequency. Enjoy! :D
etaoinsrhldcumfpgwyb,.vk()_;”=‘x/0$*1j:{}>q[]2z!<?3+5\4#@|6&987%^~`
is the entire character list in their frequency. Left for being the most frequently used, and to the right; less frequently used.
If you were to paste the above string of characters into the User Input, you'd get a familiar binary pattern.
