I love the look of this style. The name is self explanatory ;) if you know French.........
UC, numerals and some symbols have one line thicker than the others, LC only has the thinner lines. LC can be used on its own if even thickness of lines is desired but it is 3 px shorter than UC which will show clearly when using Basic Latin LC in combination with Hebrew, numerals, some symbols and some punctuation marks. Cyrillic and Hebrew added. Latin1 will come eventually ;)
Apparently, it is quite easy to forget what gets a fontstruction going. Something about ultra condensed bla bla bla. The rest is just a matter of having a creative activity to occupy the mind. And if in the process you can help out a friend, all the better.
WebFont is SIL Open Font License freeware (version 1.0). If you like it for a website, you can use it as a web font. You can clone it, download it, whatever. Hopefully, if you use it as a web font, you will add a link to my site, Font-Journal (https://www.Font-Journal.com), in the credits of your website or blog (professional sites & blogs give credit for the resources used that aren't theirs), if you use it or distribute it, but that is not required.
You can edit, modify, append or do whatever you need to do with this font, including using it commercially or in creating your own art/graphic works, even a new version of the font as long as all further redistributed derivatives use a new reserved font name and remain under the same "SIL Open Font License".
This is a freeware font, it should never be sold, unless it is included as bonus freeware part of a paid collection. WebFont is FREE.
Supports a large latin character set (lots of latin), with extras like the Copyright, Trademark, Tel: symbols, currency signs and an assortment of little Dingbats. I try to use Dingbats for the UI when I design websites, so I included a few without weighing the font down too much, it still loads quickly. Loading a vector based font for UI stuff is a lot easier and quicker than loading graphic files.
Any questions, character requests? Go ahead and ask!
If you see anything that needs to be addressed, be sure to shout out at me, I'll see if I can fix stuff. - Doug Peters, Symbiotic Design

Pavos real means peacock in Spanish. I think this is an excellent name for the elegant serif font. I will make more Latin and Cyrillic(Russian). Greek lower case letters are simply too script-y . It will be tough making them. That's all.
Enjoy -JY
so I was scrolling down my fs page and I found this font i made before. And I realized that i promised to make cyrillic which I didn't. I made cyrillic now.

Art deco in 2x2 grid size
I orginally plan to release a kerned version made with FontForge along side, but something, I've forgotten what, was frustrating.
Today, November 2020, I think I can just release this anyway.
I hope you enjoy, I want to come back designing, I've been busy learning to conlang recently.
For my weaving website I wanted a novel font. So here is FRIVOLITE, the shape is based on the beautifully shaped shuttle used for hand weaving. Indeed the O and 0 and @ show perfectly the shuttle shape. The other glyphs were made to fit (as far as reasonable) into this specific shape. I know that frivolité is knotting rather than weaving, but this shuttle shape can be found in weaving, too. An alternate N and Z is on 'extended Latin B'.
Pixellated Proxima Punch. It's art deco for your ancient compy box! New smaller grid, same great taste.
Original size: 6pt. Use multiples of this value for pixel perfection. However, this one has been noted to look great at almost every smaller size. Try 7pt, 8pt, 9pt, etc. for slight variations on the look!
