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

UPDATE:

Completed the full basic Greek and Coptic unicode

Comment by Sed4tives 21st september 2019

I also would like to ask any of you with knowledge on the Greek language / alphabet to  please let me know if my attempt is anywhere near legit in its overall design and kerning. I have very little knowledge in regard to the Greek language, so any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I will post a sample image in the next comment.

Cheers

UPDATE: Added (partial) Cyrillic alphabet for full basic Russian language support (i hope).
=====================================================================

Since I'm a complete novice when it comes to Cyrillic language I'd like to ask any of you Russian speaking FontStructors like Dmitriy Sychiov (Sychoff) or TH3_C0N-MAN for your opinion about my attempt so far.

Perhaps either of you could also let me know If I forgot any important character for the support of basic Russian language.

(New sample images posted above)

Thanks

Cyrillic looks pretty good, although Ґ and ґ could added for the Ukranian language…

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 15th june 2020

Great work!

There is way too much space between the vertical stroke of “Ю” and its bowl (capital and lower-case). I can see that you’ve put a lot of thought into it, but “Д” and “д” are a little bit too skinny to me. Also, normally the descender of “ф” would be the size of the one on “р” with the top one to match.

But other than that, expertly done! It’s very readable for a FontStruction. And I’ve always likes condensed fonts. Hmm… it’s got me thinking, maybe I should try to make one as readable as possible next.

Comment by TH3_C0N-MAN 16th june 2020

@TH3_C0N-MAN: First of all thanks a lot for helping.

I'm very surprised to see that I had done things appropriate for such a major portion of the character set. I revisited everything you pointed out and corrected / adjusted these glyphs.

“Hmm… it’s got me thinking, maybe I should try to make one as readable as possible next”

Would love to see that !

Comment by Sed4tives 16th june 2020

Cool. Loox good now. I can tell that you’ve spent some time studying the Cyrillic forms.

Another thing to note is that “Д” would normally have the same upper left point as “Л”, but that’s just getting picky. Also, I just wanna point out you’ve spelt “Spanisch” in your description.

Comment by TH3_C0N-MAN 16th june 2020

@TCM I see it in the description too…

You’re still at it! I’ve had a full day’s work and come back to find another great sample. I’d say that this is your best so far.

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “STF_EIN BERLINER” is now a Top Pick.
Comment by Rob Meek (meek) 16th june 2020

@Sed4tives: Very cool. But I must add that the more open forms (aperture) of З Э - not right - it makes no sense to differ from C. And the arm of these letters can be shortened. I also noticed that you made the font with almost no optical compensation. This font would be good in a high waist (as in the Latin letters E H, as well as for Б Ь Ъ Ы in Cyrillic).
It is not necessary to round a left-down-serif д, but the rounding of the letter itself is suitable here, this is a cool solution. Another important mistake with ф is that it is too narrow.

Thank you so much for the Top Pick boss.

Comment by Sed4tives 16th june 2020

@Dmitriy Sychiov (Sychoff)

Now look what you made him do! The Cyrillic “С” no longer matches the Latin “C” and the “Ф” is too wide!

@Sed4tives

You can’t win them all, I’m afraid.

Comment by TH3_C0N-MAN 16th june 2020

Oh, great job on the delayed Top Pick, by the way.

Comment by TH3_C0N-MAN 16th june 2020

It is a masterpiece. Congratulations. 10/10

Comment by Frodo7 16th june 2020

Spacing issue: I noticed that Θ, θ, and some  other letters in Greek and Coptic has slightly more space after them…

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 17th june 2020

Suddenly returning to this font. Yes, absolutely sure, the old Ф and С were better. But this is definitely clean, painstaking and high quality work.

Comment by Dmitriy Sychiov (Sychoff) 13th september 2020

I saw a bar going through capital Es. And why is capital Ef wider than lowercase Ef?

Comment by Hensley Dodson (Hensilly) 27th october 2020

this kinda reminds me of libel suit rg...
