Caps only. Inspired by the cool font "Chwast Art Tone" -or simply "Artone"- (1968, by the legendary master of design Seymour Chwast), "Inkwell" (1992, Sam Wang) and "Dogsmoke" (2019, Humberto Gillan), and recalling the feelings of those unforgettable momments from the "Saturday Night Fever" times. Tony Manero lives!
This italic was more difficult to build than I espected (especially the glyphs K, M, S, X, g, k, x, 2, 5, 6, 8, ß and a few others). There are still shapes that are very hard to achieve using the current FontStruct's tools... but nothing is completely impossible if you dedicate the time to it, the results are often surprising. So it also took me much more time to complete the entire character set, but I'm happy about the final aspect of the font: it looks curiously forceful, positive and fresh at the same time, and I like it, despite not being 100% happy with some glyphs. Kerning isn't finished. Suggestions are welcome, folks. This is my 2024 font for Xmas: Happy holidays to you and yours, dear Rob Meek and all the FontStructors wherever you are!
STF_WALDBAUER — Condensed modernist Bauhaus sans
═══════════════════════════════════
This is rather a heavily condensed sans that sits halfway between a Bauhaus and Art-Deco style lettering.
The low waist, tall x-height, long ascenders and deep descenders give this font a somewhat elegant appeal. The uppercase set is clearly Art-Deco inspired, whereas the lowercase set leans more towards a playful Bauhaus mondernist style. Several characters have filled enclosed parts or other exaggerated features as well as non-filled alternate forms.
The idea for this font was inspired and extracted from a 1930s poster ad by Pál Vince for luxury luggage company Waldbauer.
The FontStruction's x-height is 3,5×1 grid units, so its tiny!
I hope you like it,
Cheers
JS-SAVOIR GEOGRAPHIQUE ROUNDED (BOLD)
═══════════════════════════════════
A revival based on the lettering sketches and studies by Dutch graphic designer Jurriaan Schrofer for the book series 'Le Savoir Geographique' and 'Le Savoir Historique' (1971-1974) by Pierre Gourou during his time with Dutch publishing and printing company Mouton & Co., which was based in The Hague.
This is a bold weight rounded variation to the original work by Schrofer.
The following text embeds a collection of links that redirect to some additional background documentation on all the work Schrofer did for this book series.
More about Schrofer's other material. please visit the web page of the Wim Crouwel Institute, which currently curates the entire Schrofer collection that was previously owned by NAGO (Dutch Archive for Graphic Designers Foundation).
Note that this additional info is in Dutch language only.
This is a clone of STF_JS-SAVOIR GEOGRAPHIQUE (BOLD)Inspired by INVASION BLOCK (by the great Upixel), but right slanted, with more glyphs added (206 in total) and some of the originals slightly retouched.
Initially inspired by SB Standard font (2013, Craig Staiton) with many modifications and recreated glyphs... And made to saving half the ink when you print your text with it, which is very important in today's times, you know :))

EXPANDED VERSION AVAILABLE ABOVE.
Very loosely based off of the seemingly unknown typeface used on a lot of Ben Bova novels (E.G. Privateers). By the way, this was SUPER hard to make, but still, it's 100% free.

This is a cloneI can't superate chocomotion by four (❤️!), but I'm trying my own soft approach to the 3lines font design world. Hope you like this attempt to clarify from my to-do list. Btw: feedback about the design or aesthetics of some Cyrillic characters would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, people.
