Ferredoxin

My take on Futura Display. The original has some odd details and inconsistencies, so I made my own version. Some compromises had to be made though... A few alternate characters are in the private use area.

Decent work. The diacritical marks need a bit of tinkering (e.g., the diaresis is too big). The design is simple and consistent. The text is very pleasant to read. Ferredoxin sounds like a medication or supplement for iron deficiency. Is it intentional? 10/10
@Frodo7 Thanks for the comment. Ferredoxin is an iron-sulfur protein; I chose the name when looking up terms with the initials FD (as a nod to Futura Display).
damn looks so smooth and cool
Clean and consistent. The sample text looks great at different sizes.
I wonder how you managed to get letters like V and Y to line up so well (transitions between diagonal and curve), despite FontStruct limitations?
@Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Some combinations allow for such transition with barely noticable seam. Yet here I suspect something like this?
Thanks for the comments and top pick!
@BWM Petruuccio is close; this is what it looks like. I actually managed to find the perfect transition on Y:
I wonder what font editor that is at the bottom of the sample above?
It's Inkscape
Very consistent, I like it. Congratulations on the TP!
Congrats on the TP! It sometimes looks inspired by our PW-Blacker Grotesk font, which is Top Pick :D
10/10
The letters B, C, D, G, H, I, J, L, O, P, S, T, U, V, Y look inspired by our PW-Blacker Grotesk font, check out in the TP list. By the way, your fonts are great!
@PhuWorks (Phú Real) - It is poor taste to brag about your TP under someone else's font. Besides, Ferredoxin was released 18 days before your font was released, so how can Ferredoxin possibly be inspired by YOUR font ?!? It's more accurate to say that _your_ font looks inspired by Ferredoxin !
@Goatmeal This font was published on 11/28/2025, while PW-Blacker Grotesk was published on 11/18/2025. The date of creation is not necessarily the date of publication.
@Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) - Looking back at the live feed, you are correct. I stand corrected. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
@Goatmeal You can also hover your cursor on the i in the gallery on desktop devices to see the publish date as well.
@Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) - Thank you. In all my years on FontStruct, I never noticed that feature before!
how is that even possible?!
Holy stromboli, that's amazing! I don't suppose you have a diagram of how you did the gentle curves on K, like with v and y, do you?
@mattsteve Thanks! The K is fairly simple:

The solidus is so good, V. Sarela (@Yautja)!
V. Sarela (@Yautja), I've not been in this for like…too long, so I guess I'll take a look at some Top Pick, and I did notice that Y with nodes and stuffs, how did you do that in the UI, and can you alter the nodes direction and length like in FontLab?
By the way, great Futura Display recreation tho, I thought that was some Futura Now ads in the Top Pick at first
@Kiên Trung: Thanks for the comment, the node view is from Inkscape.
“and I did notice that Y with nodes and stuffs, how did you do that in the UI, and can you alter the nodes direction and length like in FontLab?”
no, fontstruct will never have nodes for bezier curves
the only changes from when you were here is that now spam accounts are nearly non-extistant, and that the UI is rounder
