This is my first ever font using ideas to make an heavy sans-serif typeface. I was inspired by elmoyenique and Jamie Place (FontBlast). I'm not stealing ideas from anybody by the way, I've wanted to share something to explain a journey of making my own fonts in life.
I got some aspect of making the glyphs look heavier. I've tried to make the letter f, but it flawlessly has the same height as the other glyphs. If I make number four, than I've obviously make it like this because the slanted bricks are not enough to make up a four glyph. Some of the glyphs (for example: ð, ß, ™, ®) are hard to build it because it was considered to be rounded by its curve and too small if the text was heavier.
When I run out of name ideas, the only idea of this font name i've chose is Lourde (french word for heavy).
I created this typeface based on the theme 'Systematic'. I wanted it to have a simplistic and robotic style similar to a calculator's font. I produced each letter to fit into the same box shape so that they are all accurate and precise. I titled my font 'Methodical' as it is careful and orderly.
10x7 (maximum) character size, 9x7 average character size. Bolded version of the font with the same name. Inspired by MS Sans Serif (Windows 95 version, not the modern version.)
This is a clone of Oldschool and Classy (normal)My first Pixelart font :)
Also please don't worry about the letters at the end. They're bugged
OK, so I started this back in 2008 (then called "test1") with 4 letters, then forgot this site existed until tonight in 2023. I worked on it some more for a couple of hours and here it is. Missing a few glyphs but I will save those for a later improvement. :) Very beginner-y, because I was just playing around when I started it. But I kind of like it. It's quite readable at tiny sizes and makes me think of some old 1990s Wired Magazine fonts or early blog fonts.
