Various glyph refinements, Latin as well as Greek,  17.06.24

Tylluan   (Welsh) = owl (English)

Having looked at this font to add glyphs for a friend's language I decided to change some of the original glyphs, for the fun of change ;) ....... if you saw, remember and now hope to download the original basic English version: sorry, it's out of circulation unless I decide to remove the asked-for glyphs/shapes in this version so that you can DL the new basic Enlish version with support for my language and some fun dingbats. This particular upgraded version of Tylluan won't be downloadable unless the 'owner' of it allows me to offer it to FS members . 

I changed some curves, improved the e-mail symbol, added curved blocks and glyphs for some European languages including Welsh (( RAY if you want to use this DO let me know here via PM !!!)) You'll also see the Eiron :=  aka. interrobang (en), exclarrogatif (fr), Fragerrufzeichen (de) and some asked-for dingbats

a bit late but since this is an extended version of my entry for numbercomp i added the tag :)

EDIT: OMG THANK YOU FOR THE STAFF PICK :D

They never said that fonts should only be based on numbers, so I decided to publish this old boy now for NumbersComp

LC letters here are simply stencil variants of the numbers and letters.

My second submission for the Numbers competition.

This one has actually been sitting there for a while already, I haven't published it before because of the terrible kerning and some awful letter solutions. But I think the numbers are quite cool, so...

ANTI-QUE — Asian calligraphy inspired
═══════════════════════════════════
Anti-que features a romanized lettering concept that was designed to mimic the stylistic properties of Asian calligraphic characteristics.

MARTIAN AMBASSADOR — Future retro / Sci-Fi style
═══════════════════════════════════
A future retrostyle that reflects the social construct at the dawn of the Computer Age through the zeitgeist of that 70s and 80s aesthetic fashion, which was strongly influenced by things such as: space, computers, sci-fi and cyberpunk.

The NUMBERS were the origin: This font has been created from the design of glyphs 0, 2 and 4, which was then extrapolated to the rest of the characters. Unicase with alternates. Thanks @AidenFont for the vertical stripes idea.

This was an attempt for a thin line rounded numbers based on straight circles, but could not manage to consistently expand on the idea trough a whole font. Originaly meant for the competition, but it was not worth it at first. 

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 so, that basically became sort-of a font revival with a little extra's.

ORIENTFAHRTEN (Pro) then took this to a whole nother level.

This reformation 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

My note: db Monuck is NOT a color font. When creating the font, I had created different versions in different layers, which can no longer be deleted.  Now, despite everything, the note "Color Font" appears, although it is not.

Please can someone help me to solve the problem?

Many thanks for your help, the problem has been solved. ☼

Numbers count.

Soft and rounded NUMBERS like long fairground balloons... and shadowed. The first was the 8 and then all the others arrived.

this was more a concept than a style Idk

also this is like the only thing I could come up with that was remotely related to the competition. 

A - 4     C - ©     E - 3     G - &     I - 1     O - 0     R - ®     S - $     Y - ¥     Z - 2            a - @     b - 6     c - ¢     g - 9     s - 5     t - +

Height 3 / Width 2 / Filters Ø 

Had quite a bit of fun with this blueprint inspired font for the competition, numbers have been incorporated to best measure glyph length, angles and so forth. Please enjoy~

Every printable character in the strict 7-bit ASCII set, with handy decimal, octal and binary numerical codes attached (no hexadcimal, as it involves letters ;-)

Part of the Stu font family, Stu Mid keeps all lowercases tucked within the x-height space. The character glyphs can be used interchangeably between the various Stu styles to achieve a more "bouncy" typesetting effect.

Stu pays homage to oldstyle numerals, where type designers vary the heights of numbers to resemble a line of running lowercase text. It seeks to address the question: "What if every lowercase alphabet also had varying heights?" The result is a font family with full-fledged ascenders ('Hi'), strictly x-heights ('Mid'), and only descenders ('Lo').

You can view the documentation of the Stu font family design here.

A nonogram font. Some variation between uppercase/lowercase letters, alternative 2/7 on < >, and an extra Y on ^. I originally made this in a 5x5 grid, but there were too many glyphs with multiple solutions, so I had to remake the whole thing. (You can still see the original style in the small numbers)

In the font preview window above, click Pixel and then Shift+Pixel 4 times to see the full effect of the font.

I remember from back when I was learning Japanese, that the stroke order in writing hiragana, katakana, and kanji was important. I didn't get very far in my Japanese studies, but even then some of the kanji were like 17 strokes each, and each with a specific order of marking the strokes. Thinking of what would be appropriate for a number competition, I recalled the number and order of strokes per glyph idea. Hence, this font. 

The idea brought with it an inherent textfont sensibility. Deciding on the slope of the diagonal strokes was tricky as they rendered those letter either too wide or too narrow. The correct choice was a slope with a flat top or bottom. That allowed the width of the letter whatever I wanted but the flat top took away from the natural marking of the stroke, as in: no one actually writes an A with a horizontal top stroke. Settled on the current slope and width. Still, the letters came together fairly quickly; the kerning not so much. Whether they were adjusted or not, around 10,000 kerning pairs were checked. More than 2500 kerning pairs are included here...and many more still remain. How good or consistent the kerning is is for other's to judge.

Some of the glyphs are quirky, I know. There are already hundreds of thousands of exceptional standard text fonts. No point redoing those. 

Due to the need to show the strokes individually, the font came out as stencil. That was an unintentional byproduct of the idea.

Some strokes are split in two to show distinction between the crossing strokes, but technically they would be continuous. 

The strokes are based on my own handwriting style; others may do it differently. For example, when being careful, I write the Z in three strokes, whereas I suspect others probably write it in one. 

This is not a color font even though it is auto-charcterized as one because at one point I experimented with making the stroke-order numbers gray. I thought about copy-pasting the glyphs in a new FS, but the follow-up thought of having to redo the kerning quickly put a stop to that madness.

For best view of the font, download & install and check out some long block of text in Word with kerning turned on. (This articles explains how to activate kerning in Word.)

This is a number font for 7-segment LCDs. The alphabet is not complete.

This had the numberscomp tag on it at some stage, so still shows the numerals first in the gallery pages. I wasn't happy to share it until now however. I used a combination of connected and custom made bricks. Alternate a and e in lower case.

Thanks for the top pick! :D
