STF_DERBY - Condensed Geometric Neo-Grotesk sans.

The idea was to make a typeface design that would suit small point size body style typography.

■ Multilingual support (94 languages)
■ Partial kerning WIP (8694 Pairs and counting)

==============================================

The fontstruction is a Faux Bezier style approach, to allow the most freedom in shaping the different letterforms and curves.

Font sample is best viewed at 2x pixel size or above for a sharp result.

I hope you like it!

STF_EIN BERLINER - Condensed geometric sans-serif typeface.

Inspired by the lettering seen on a variety of different Dutch and German street signs.

The simple and clean geometric letterforms provide this typeface with a strong legibility in both display & body style text.

(grid size 3,5 × 7 at 2x2 brick size filter)

Enjoy

A basic sans serif font for coding, meant for small sizes (and it would look good in large sizes too, if it weren't for those pesky parentheses...)

Ok, This took a while !

accents coming soon, numerals not so soon. ¿Basic Latin? Maaaaybe.

Let me know what you think, anything is helpful.

The design of the KVN-Westgate typeface originated from the concrete lettering on the gates surrounding Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. These gates were constructed when the market underwent renovation in the mid-1900s. Having endured for decades, the lettering on the gates represents both the history of the market and the growth of the city, formerly known as Saigon.

ZEPHTON (Pro) — 70's future retro / sci-fi style typeface
═══════════════════════════════════

[ INTRODUCTION ]
A revival of the Sci-Fi lettering used by the “Atlantic Toy Company” for their “Galaxy Serie”. A science fiction themed toy line that was manifactured from 1978 to the early 1980s.

The lettering seen on their packeging uses a modified and filled version of a typeface called Paperclip Contour, which was designed by Dutch graphic designer Ad Werner, and was issued by Mecanorma in 1973. There is very little information provided on the web in regard to the original typeface by Werner. And even fewer images. Nothing that show a complete character set, only FontInUse submissions. But taken from the research I conducted I can safely conclude that the original Paperclip Contour typeface has just one style, which is outlined, and that it includes a lower case(a-z)  letterset with numerals and just a had full of symbols and punctuation.

That being said, this actually is the second revision I did for the lettering. The innitial first version had a super basic character set, as well as a couple of mistakes included alongside some compromises in respect to certain glyphs. This was due to the limited knowledge I had in regard to the use of the FS-editor at that time. So the font wasn't 100% accurate. This newer version correct most of the inconsistencies that were present in the older version.

Due to the incomplete resource material on the original Paperclip Contour by Werner I can't check accuracy of this newer version. But I think that apart from the thicker weight in Zephton its 99% accurate.

Where the older version ran short by a lot, this new revision in fact can qualify as a full font, with everything from numerals, symbols, puntuation marks as well as accented letters for more Latin languages. And ever some glyph alternatives. Making this much more of a functional font.

[ THE FONTSTRUCTION ]
The font is a “Unicase” style typeface that has only “Minuscules” included. There are glyph alternate forms for several letters as well as a secondary set of numeral figures. These characters are located in the Unicode blocks for “Halfwidth And Fullwidth Forms” and “Private Use Area 1”

There is also a full  (a-z, 0-9)  alphanumeric set with “Contour Outlined” glyph alternative forms, which is located in the “Private Use Area 2”

The font saw a major update that tied everything together, and sort of finalizes the font for proper use.

Several characters have received minor adjustments in order to find a balanced harmonic distribution of typeset material. Also several improvements have been made to the overall shape and form of various characters. In addition to that numerous new characters been designed, expanding the character set even further.
Work also continued in the metric department, building the kerning table, that contains 2368 stored kerning pairs so far. Spacing was reduced by 50% to tighten the letter fit significantly. To round things up and convert it into a more functional typeface some of the characters were rearranged and/or relocated to different Unicode blocks.
═══════════════════════════════════

[ CONTOUR OUTLINED GLYPH ALTERNATIVE FORMS ]
The contour outline glyph alternative forms are not 100% accurate conversions of their solid counterparts. This due to minor design difficulties that simply made it impossible to fully execute it at its current size and with this thin stroke weight. The deformities are simply the result of a lack in fully smoothened stroke contours in some of the transitions from diagonal to curved parts. These flaws are minute, and mostly only noticable at large size rendering, but nonetheless present. In small to medium size text these imperfections are  hardly visible, and pose no real problem. Anyway.. the contour outlined glyphs are still very close approximations nonetheless, just so that it happens to be with a small number of tiny imperfections.

As a direct result of this the two sets with glyphs do not fully match and therefor not seemlessly overlap.  

This can be ignored for most part in the majority of the font's application, but it does create two important limitations:

1) Contour outlined glyphs are unsuitable for vector path outline rendering when the stroke alignment is set to "Outside" (Configured like that with threshold for the corner point angle set to sharp these imperfections in the glyph contours can generate spikey disruptions to appear in the stroke rendering).
— So this configuration should be avoided.

2) The two styles are unsuitable (or incompatible) with stacked “multi-layer" overlay text compositions.
— Simply due to the fact the two variations aren't a 100% true match.

They do on the other hand, combine perfectly side-by-side in text composition.

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

MAUHAUS  ―  Feline inspired type design

[ THE CREATIVE PROCESS ] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This font was made because I have a cat. I love my cat, and this delight of a friend obviously loves me back. In addition to all this love, I also love to craft fonts, my cat is not to very fond about this.. So she loves to craft all sort of drama to gain my attention. Wearing me down with her mere persistence. I'm not to very fond about this.. So I slab her in the tiny face and modulate the crap out of her, stressing that nifty lil' stalker-happy pleb untill she gets a stroke. Than I make gashing incisions to all her intersects, making a pet-stencil.

No cats were harmed while making this font, this is just how we roll.

And one might wonder what a apple is doing inside a cat-font?? I know, but dont worry, the cat isn't a vegi...

― Lena say's 'Mauwww..' to all fellow FontStructors

[ FINAL WORDS ] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I guess that didn't clarify the ins and outs of this design, thats too bad !!

All I can say is that this is once again another concept following in the footsteps of the 'Bauhaus'-minimalism style and philosophy. Since I was not done yet with this whole raging Bauhaus frenzy..

― Lena hopes that nobody likes this font so far...

EXPANDED VERSION AVAILABLE ABOVE.

Very loosely based off of the seemingly unknown typeface used on a lot of Ben Bova novels (E.G. Privateers). By the way, this was SUPER hard to make, but still, it's 100% free.

A bold, rounded, mono spaced typeface;  useful at various scales, I think.  Designed primarily for use in English,  also useful in French and Spanish.  It's functionality in Greek is limitted, only really useful in a display context, or where only Demotic usage is required; not useful in Katharevousa, Koine, Classical, etc.  Open Font Liscence, hope it is enjoyable and of use.

A dark look and a few crows' beaks for dreary November... it belongs to my "1st of" series for 2016.

it's like tabi super, but the inktraps are like glitches

Thanks to Sed4tives for STF_FAUX BEZIER ROTUNDS

This was a fun one to experiment with. A lot of fonts I've done here have been done with strict design rules. It's fun to break them once in a while.

BACK TO THE FRAKTUR - Modular geometric calligraphic blackletter

============================================

Calligraphy inspired design, that even though it's name can be deceptive, suggesting one in thinking it is a Fraktur derivative. Which is actually quite not the case, and as far as being a calligraphic Blackletter inspired work, the similarities between the two stop.

This is a heavily simplified and geometric take on the calligraphic style, with much more modernized letterforms as well.

It remains a WIP, but I'd love to hear what u think so far.

Cheers

inspired by a hippo ...

Its purpose built negative font with small overhangs to mask eventual gaps between blocks. Blocks are almost unified (separators and letters I,M,W and some greek and cyrillic are exceptions).

There is also lighter version of this font

Each letter has a width inverse to its frequency in English.

This font and tm Byte started off as one. Both were different from what they have now become. The idea was to create a very heavy, minimal curves and angles to give a sense of the glyph.

It started with a plain N and a solid O. Making the E match either the N or the O resulted in deviation from the style just enough that it warranted a spin-off into a font of it's own. 

Some letters—such as G and H—proved quite difficult to match in the style of either. A slight angle shift resulted in a glyph that did not go with other glyphs. I kept trying different possibilities...and at some point decided to save the discarded option into another fs, which now contains more than 200 characters.

The teardrop counter in tm Byte forced a complete redraw of all glyphs at about 2× the size.

I am already working on two additional fonts that came out of this exercise...and it might yield more.
