TEFlonALuminium — A contemporary geometric sans-serif
═══════════════════════════════════
Inspired by the brand logo for French kitchen and home appliances company 'Tefal'.
The font is an extrapolation from the five letters that make up the original logo. I have made some small changes to certain characters to make them more suitable for a full font and body copy text format.
I hope you like it..
Cheers

omg it's the tefal font! i've seen that logo a thousand times and wondered if there was a tefal font. tysm sed4tives
I like it a lot. Now I have to learn how you managed the T to overlap with lovercase glyphs.
Dear @Sed4: You've done it again. Looking at your work, how easy you make it look to build a good font! How envious you make me! But I can't forget at the same time the many hours that you must have spent in front of the computer to get these letters to turn out like this. Well done! (Btw, what about the rest of the diacritics?)...
@Peter (Petruuccio): Just kern the T with all the lowercase glyphs that need it.
Clean work, neatly build around the existing letters.
@Pedro: I know right, even to me it's a household name that dates back all the way to my childhood. I've done a earlier attempt at extrapolating a full font from the Tefal logo back in 2018, but it left a lot to desire.
@Peter (Petruuccio): Thank you for the kind words. Like Elmoyenique already said, use kerning to place lowercase letters underneath the crossbar of capital letter T and other letters that have overhang.
@Elmoyenique: You make me blush compa. BTW I have now completed the accented Latin letters.
@four: Thanks
— ] RECENT UPDATES
• Refined many glyphs
• Started to expand the alphabet letters to a different style proportion to experiment with additional style variations
• Added more symbols & punctuation marks
• Created ligatures
• Lining Figures (default) & Old Style figures
• Added more kerning
— ] CIRCUMSTANTIAL DEVELOP INTERCEPT
Some additional new contents that is currently present in the font's Private Use Area is only in there temporarily. These are soon to be re-located to another project and removed from this font. Which I will better explain in a bit..
The thing is, development of the new differently proportioned style instance for the alphabet set resulted in the accumulation of some curve geometry templates that have no functional relation to the font itself. They are the by-product from the search for new solitions that could possibly work for this font, and are the remnants that didn't end up making it into the actual design.
Nonetheless they are still useful new curve assemblies, worthy of preserving.
TheY remain in here troughout the remainder of the develop process, after which they will be relocated into my shared personal FS-Tool set. Ready for one of our future Fontstruct endeavours perhaps, who knows...
— Some of these new tailor-made custom curvature sizes include:
1 × 2
2 × 2
1.75 × 3
2 × 3
2 × 3.5
— Brick Size filter:
None
— Grid Size filter:
0.94 / 1
More to come, stay tuned...
Fixed/removed the forgotten × symbol in the no-break space slot
New updates:
• Removed unused shapes and glyphs
• Added more kerning
I'm very surprised with how well the body copy rendering turns out for the letter concept. Especially when considering the fact that the logo was never intended to become a full (A-Z) alphabet set.
Does this use 1x1 filters, or are they 2x2 filters in disguise?
@BWM: No brick size filters used, only filter is (0.94) for the horizontal grid scale. Why?
@BWM: BTW, those tailor-made custom curvatures that I was talking about in one of my above comments are no longer included in this font. They are stored in another Fontstruct-project that I use sort of as a preset storage filled with pre-build and ready-to-use custom shapes and forms. My initial idea was to include them into one of my other but fairly similar shared Fontstructions called “STF_CURVE TOOL (Small Grid)” like I mentioned above. But I didn't keep in consideration the fact that they both have different internal filter structures. This one having a 1:1 Brick Size, and the CURVE TOOL having a 2:2 Brick Size filter.
Meaning that the two projects doesn't share real-time copy / paste compatibility.
So I either have to completely rebuild its geometry from the ground up using a different math algorithm. But luckily there isn't going to be any complex math's involved with converting the aspect ratio from 1:1 into a 2:2 structure.
And the other solution is to start sort-of like a ‘sibling’ project for my original CURVE TOOL that utilizes 1:1 structure and name it “STF_1:1 CURVE TOOL (Small Grid)” and rename the original to “STF_2:2 CURVE TOOL (Small Grid)”
I have numerous projects that contain customized non-core geometry at 1:1 Brick Size filter from which I can dissect various letters, and salvage them for part 'n pieces that I can than use to build another CURVE TOOL.
But I can't remember to have ever build any 1:1 projects that had those large grid shift overlaps.
The ones that developing this font brought forward are pretty unconventional if you ask me. And merely stumbled upon by complete total accident. Now that I think about it I don't recall having build anything far more advanced than 1×2 and probably a 2×2 grid shift overlap while working in 1:1 filter structure mode.
But overlaps in the vicinity of 3 or 3.5 grid unit shifts I actually didn't even considered possible within the 1:1-constraints prior of crafting these. I did try to build even beyond that 3.5 grid units to see If I could get the extend of the overlap to shift even as far as 4 grid units. but I wasn't able to stretch it that far sadly. To be able of pulling that off smooth and seamless I required an additional extra 4 parts of nudging that I just simply wasn't able of acquiring in any form or brick configuration.
Some of the new 1:1 grid shift overlaps are:
1.75×3
2×3
2×3.5
I wonder how letters like the V and W went from diagonal to curved
Congrats! This is becoming a very powerful font...
@BWM: That was actually pretty straight forward for this font. No off-grid nudged/rotated or overlapping bricks to patch gaps or smoothen the contours. I just calculated the slopes to seamlessly align with the radius of a quarter circle brick that was modified to have that squeezed more eliptical shape.
Cyrillic letters please
@Sed4tives - Incoming rant from Sed4tives in 3... 2... 1... ;^)
@Goatmeal: Nah, having a meltdown once a week is bad enough.. Even though I'm pretty well aware its pretty much a waste of energy, I can't keep myself from opening thee valve and going haywire once in a while. lol
I guess I'm that occasional 40 year old p*ssed-off teen.. ;-)
@Sed4tives - It does take a lot out of us old folks... ;^)
Congratulations. It is one of my favorite fonts on here. But I do not understand this: "No off-grid nudged/rotated or overlapping bricks to patch gaps or smoothen the contours. I just calculated the slopes to seamlessly align with the radius of a quarter circle brick that was modified to have that squeezed more eliptical shape." Is it something bad to nuge and overlap bricks? I mean some slopes cant be mated with circular bricks without visible "corner". No matter how you squeeze the half or quarter circle, it can be perfectly tangentially attached only to horizontal or vertical lines anyway.
Ok, I see where u come from, and ur actually right. Allow me to correct myself: what I mean by perfectly align was 99% perfect. Whwn you zoom in far enough of course there is going to be a small bump. But at this angle that is more or less obselete..
@RobMeek: Thank you so much for the special mention boss! 😎
Congrats on this well deserved TP, compa!
so, i guess if i wanted more glyphs like, cyrillic, arabic, thaana, greek, hebrew and coptic sets added
@SUMMER701: Than what? I'm not planning on adding them.
oh
Sorry 😉
@SUMMER701, @Иван Морозов: If you want Cyrillic, look it up in my Asphalt C clone font. You can clone it yourself and add or change what you want.
@Sed4tives: I hope you don't mind this kind of "advertising"
@Dimitry: Totally not. Besides that, you're not the type of person that is just around for advertising themselves 😉
i don't advertise much
Don't worry I wasnt accusing anyone 😉
it feels like one problem in here, but the tefal logo font does need fixing... i think
i really liked this font now 10/10
Its an 'inspired' by rather than accurate reinterpreted work. Feel free to make your own more accurate reinterpretation of the original 😉
Read the description next time!
@Sed4tives - "Read the description" ? That's asking a bit much, don't you think ?... ;^)
