STF_DERBY - Condensed Geometric Neo-Grotesk sans.
The idea was to make a typeface design that would suit small point size body style typography.
■ Multilingual support (94 languages)
■ Partial kerning WIP (8694 Pairs and counting)
==============================================
The fontstruction is a Faux Bezier style approach, to allow the most freedom in shaping the different letterforms and curves.
Font sample is best viewed at 2x pixel size or above for a sharp result.
I hope you like it!
STF_V0N BRAUN - Simple geometric sans-serif typeface.
I tried to recreate the Braun GmbH logo type from 1952 and work it out into a full font, I used only the five letters in the logo as a reference. Since there are a bunch of revivals out there already. I just did my own interpretation of it.
Enjoy!

so i was associated with the bauhaus, i decided to make alternatives from other fonts that has glyphs, like BD Orange, BD Discount, Architype Renner, and VAN NELLE (Blueprint).
DALLIANCE GROTESK — Geometric gothic grotesque
═══════════════════════════════════
Dalliance Grotesk is a solid sans-serif lettering concept that builds on the ‘core’-lettering concept of frongile's amazing work called Liaison Grotesk
Liaison is a renegade take on the gothic grotesque sans-serif style. A wonderful mix of early egyptian styles that get blended with subtle neo-grotesque hints, held firmly together by a rigid condensed geometric letter-backbone. The crude design of Liaison provides a very distinctive and unpolished appearance, that breaths a lot of visual character.
Its geometric quirkiness and rather irregular letter widths, just the slight imperfect overall lettering simply came together perfectly in frongile's original design. Making this a text-book example as for whyback in the day this style became known as ‘Grotesque’.
Yes, Ugly.. Obnoxious.. and... ‘Always in your face’
— Exactly how we like them best...
Dalliance Grotesk is the result of harvesting some of that original soul personality as was seen in Liaison and borrows it for extrapolation into a different font.
While Dalliance tried to preserve much of the overall letter-backbone structures from the original source, its primary aim was, to push towards a more polished finishing touch.
Simplified letters that were stripped of most quirks and bits, keeping only their rough shape intact.
In addition, all curved letter-parts were fully re-build with smoother contours and more natural flowing curve transitions. The spurred top and bottom stroke-stops for the lower-case letters had been changed so that the top now slightly differ from the bottom spurs (different tapered angle). Also the top spurs all have been slightly lowered to make them sit a tad bit bellow the x-height of the font.
Main modification revolved more or less around achieving cleaner overall text rendering and better optimization for body copy in small point sizes. In the process of getting there, I carefully adapted each glyph equipped fit, to appropriately accommodate all the ty(pro)graphic goodness one can possibly hope to pull out of a Fontstruct.
Smooth (near)-Bézier contour quality, optical compensating correction adjustments, such as overshoots, small vertical stressed contrast and improved stroke joints. Also the font's proportions for height to weight ratio has drastically changed.
— Utilizing sort-of an attenuate 'knockoff' to frongile's original concept for his Liaison Grotesk.
I would like to thank him for allowing me to harvest the basis of his lettering-concept and letting me re-use that as the stylistic back-bone in the creation of my own font.
WIP
All caps geometric gothic sans-serif project. Its a semi bold display design that looks a little like those early grotesque types.
The uppercase O has a distinctive circular shape and has a unusual 3x3 grid square dimension. A number of glyphs still need modifications to achieve better solutions. Also is the character set far from complete yet.
I hope you like it so far
Inspired by grotesk sans serif fonts made between the 1830s and 1960s. Also inspired by Bebas Neue. This font's name comes from the German word "anzeig", meaning "display". What characters/character sets should I do next?
WIP!!
another quest to make something readable at small sizes
update 0.2: patched brick replacement thing & added alternates
update 0.3: so i decided to follow in Sychoff's footsteps and made some fixes to some glyphs. also added more alternates and punctuation
update 0.4: added arrows
update 0.5: changed spacing
update 1.0: did kerning. i am too lazy to do any more
Exercise
The alternative of Stf nobuntu
Groutaskk - a humanist/geometric sans serif typeface
Version 1.0.0
- Making more custom smooth rounds, Improving the inktraps & the tapered spurs of some glyphs(M,N,a,b,d,g,m...)
- Making more custom bricks and composites
- completed all the chars in the Unicode block "Basic Latin"
Version 1.0.1
- added more accents and finish the Unicode block “Latin 1 supp.” & some chars in “Latin extended a”
My try at a handwritten font on a small scale, the fuzzy preview amplifies the effect!
Feel free to comment any other ways to create a handwritten effect on a small scale!
(and yes, some time or another i will try to tackle a large scale font with faux-curves, just not anytime this month and/or the next one).
