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).

Comment by Slicker Tue, 2nd december

Clean and consistent. The sample text looks great at different sizes.

Comment by four Sun, 7th december

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?

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Mon, 8th december

@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?

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Wed, 10th december

It's Inkscape

Comment by V. Sarela (Yautja) Wed, 10th december

Very consistent, I like it. Congratulations on the TP!

Comment by elmoyenique Sat, 13th december

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!

Comment by PhuWorks (Phú Real) Sat, 13th december

@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.

Comment by Goatmeal Sat, 13th december

@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!
