fs EthoSlab
===============================================
This font is based on a heavy font I saw somewhere which really caught my eye. I tried to recreate it as best as I could, and it turned out maybe a little better than I had expected.
So far it's just all the basic latin, I will expand it later when I have time.
This typeface is based on the hand-painted names seen on the side of canal boats. The inconsistent, grainy texture of each letter is meant to represent the irregularities in using paint, for example the general wear and tear from the elements like chipped or peeling edges. This was my approach to the idea of “analogue” and a brief set to explore what that means. To me, in the context of the brief, analogue could be defined as possessing a nostalgic or "old school" quality- something replicated in an unauthentic manner in order to create a look-alike imitation of a time gone by. I focused on the old method of transport in Bristol: boats.
A typeface that provides you with a glimpse into brickwork construction.
Monospace lowercase and duospace uppercase (double the width of lowercase), with negative-space diacritics.
Strong tensile and compressive strength (works well stretched, squeezed, and warped in general).
A fun, jagged and crazy display font!
The lowercase are alternates to the uppercase, so feel free to shuffle them as much as you like!
UPDATE: I changed the "U" and "V", and i made some numbers and simple punctuation. I also made the lowercase/alternates. All thanks to @frongile and @riccard0
XATURATE - Heavy weight Egyptian slab
══════════════════════════════════════
Here is another throwback of my original older works, now refurbished and expanded into a complete font that includes multilingual support.
As part of the recent endeavours into my older FontStruct works, digging for the forgotten and lost potential gems, I stumbled upon this Egyptian style Slab-Serif, called 'XATURATE'.
This classic looking heavy weight Slab-Serif design was left rather inconsistent and pretty incomplete. I don't remember why I abandoned
this back then, since this letterforms had great potential. They just needed a healthy fresh perspective and a little bit of extra love to make them shine after all.

I couldn't be more happy with the final result,
Let me know what you think...
