STF_DECOBAU — Bauhaus got Art-Decoized
═══════════════════════════════════
This is probably what would've been if one was to ask Herbert Bayer to design an Art-Deco style typeface.
Who doesn't like to kick-off the start of this New Year with a freshly lettered breakfast, and celebrate the arrival of 2025 extra stylish…
—Lets say in a Retro fashion!?!
Here is yet another of my blind leaps in-at-deep-end in the Bauhaus—pool. For this one in particular I have Art-Decoed the living sh*t outta Bayer's defenceless innocent little baby child Universal —"Boii was I lucky that the world was too damn p4rty-h4rdy last night, bussy celebrating New Years eve. Cuz I gotta tell u this folks, she was screaming at the top of her lungs" #nobodycame2rescue
The font is obviously not your best pick for a large chunk of Body-copy text, and is best used solely for Display application purpose.
There is only a limited character set present, but thats alright, since the font has more of a "decorative" value anyway.
Due to the complex nature in these small grid glyphs the characters lack nearly all optical compensations typically seen. —So yeah, this time y'all have to settle with missing overshoots and such.
Kerning is a WIP,
So keep in mind that at this stage this remains very incomplete!
I hope y'all still like it,
Cheers

As a design and typography uneducated person I cant judge, hope the Art-Decoing was not that violent act, and nobody's feelings were actually harmed. It definitely is retro and I like it. Most of all, the witty use of some basic brick forms (Q).
It most certainly did not harm no one's feelings.
"basic brick forms..."
Bauhaus aesthetics are all about functionality in simplicity.
Another deco font is always welcome, happy 2025~
Precious!
Pff lol, twice in a row I'm uploading a sample with a mistake! #idiot.lot
@Rob: Could you please be so kind?
why did you remove it
Incredible!
@Tv Boy (digitalio-2): RobMeek did because I reported your comment. It's very unnecessary what you are doing, but above all super annoying! So I guess if the boss thinks my report was appropriate enough to take action you shouldn't put the nonsense back again. I will leave it with this... So this time I will not report it again. But keep in mind, I'm not at all amused by your comment behaviour, so stop being on my nerves all this time, and rather don't comment on my fonts. And if you do, post something useful.
Thank you!
@Tv Boy (digitalio-2): Also keep in mind, users can not remove comments, only staff members can. So when your comments somehow disappeared this was likely due to the actions by a staff member. They don't just remove comments for no reason!
wow, amazing work! also
after finishing the kerning, did you haven't really update STF_GROOTESK about a year?
i'll try to work on something.
You did a great job with your font.
What a stylish font!
The letters are easy to read.
I think it's a great idea that the "S" connects to the previous letter!
(I wonder how they created the curve that crosses the squares?)
