The best possible re-creation of the seemingly unknown font used on a lot of Ben Bova book covers (and by that I mean literally 2, Privateers and Empire Builders), at least to my abilities. It doesn’t really have a lower case, just alternates used on the book covers or just alternate imaginings of what the other letters might look like. 100% free, and kerned to insanity for your pleasure ;)

...Why?

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 12th january 2025

A Secret Fruptile...(IDK :P)

Comment by anonymous-2552875 12th january 2025

Lol, yeah. It seems that the fonts I work the hardest on are the ones that nobody knows about

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 12th january 2025

This is the original title 

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 18th february 2025

And this is my version.

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 18th february 2025

Its nice I would say, even without the reference. What disturbs me a little, is the shape of B central connection. I would have small cheat suggestion. Nudge the central arcs more together and fill horizontal gaps with the same thin brick you used vertically. Maybe as another alternative...

'Tis done.

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 18th february 2025

And have you considered adding numbers?

Comment by elmoyenique 19th february 2025

I'll give it a try. Probably won't kern them all right away though, since that takes a while.

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 19th february 2025

Boom. Full set of numbers!

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 19th february 2025

Good job! Really like the retrofuturistic art-deco vibes it gives off.

Comment by Cookielord 19th february 2025

But..you can do the Original Text to Improve Image?

Comment by anonymous-2552875 19th february 2025

You mean the original title?

Comment by Fruptile Shrump 19th february 2025
