Kern Cyrillic, WIP.

First try.

This design was created as part of the TwentiesComp. Too bad, due to lack of time, it was not finished.  I realize db Pontus still needs a bit of time and patience to be ready (glyphs, kernig etc...) However, I just want to introduce db Pontus in this context already ; ) 

Paris, Berlin, Moscow in the 1920s... Art Deco, Bauhaus, Konstruktivizm... Effervescent people! This font is for Sandrine, the woman with white hat in the picture, and for all the people who together built the world. See also ztefan and zergei.

Decorative experimental letters drawn around XX pattern.

Happy 13th BD, FontStruct! WIP (kerning).

Inspiriert von Louis Oppenheim

NO Kerning

In develiping...

still kinda rough, i'll hopefully finish it soon

Emil has a sympatic character, even if he has his little edges and corners. Nevertheless, Emil is not too eccentric.  It' s possible to work with him and maybe Emil will go one step further towards italics...?

A non standard stencil/piano-like font, using an experimental "guides + nudging" kerning process and a lot of smooth curvy shapes. Some soft alternates (for A, W, w, X, x, Y and y) are in the ligatures area at the More Latin section.

Obviously dedicated to the great Sergio Leone and his Spaghetti Western "Dollars Trilogy" filmed in Almería. The uppercase was shot. Contains some extra western dingbats, keep your head down.

The name "zashitnik" comes from the great "Luna" sci-fi trilogy by Ian McDonald (meaning fighter with knives hired for trials by combat, literally "defender").

Pixel-rounded version of zhowfrakt. Another point of view, more "organic".

Another "genre" font, this one for the invaluable old style vampire people. BTW, sinople is the name of the green colour in heraldic.

Three in a row: after one lycanthropic font, another to the zombies... the third is for the scifi... and FS!. 

After zilverbullet (my last font for lycanthropes) here you are another special, this time is for... zombies! NB: Contains some alternatives to the UC (in the LC) and cyrillic set.

My lycanthropic and "Spaghetti Western" font. Hope you like it.

Including cyrillic (to native cyrillic users about my glyphs: help & comments are welcomed, please). Some kerning is in process. See also zendera smallcaps eYe/FS.

 Ahh sadly due to repeatedly running into a corrupted font when I save newly made changes to it, it eventually catched up with me and tested the limit of my patience.

I have had to painstakingly restore the font 5 times already since I started it.

So I stopped including new characters as well as making new changes to its existing character set. (At least for now)

Too bad because I wouldve loved to see this truly getting finalized.

So at this stage there are still a number of characters that remain in rough condition, and had yet to be further optimized.

The main A-Z alphabet luckily already was close to how I invisioned it, but especially the numerals, symbols and accents still have some rough edges.

Now, forgetting all that, I still think it is not a bad font at all. Everything is there for most common Western-European languages, somewhat still making this a usable font that I shouldn't be keeping in private!

I hope that despite my bad luck this time, y'all still like it.

================================================

About this Font:

The idea was to make a classic Didone style display serif that is meant for making clean headline text similar to those often seen in older magazines or newspapers. I set out trying to design a semi-bold & slight expanded looking letterform with thin hairline serifs and strokes. I choose a large grid scale for the extra freedom in custom shaping this provides.

================================================

Technique I used in this design:

This font in particular I have experimented with working within a "(asymmetrical-) Grid Scale ratio" ( 1,5:1 ), so, changing only the value for the Horizontal grid scale. (This distorts the grid aspect ratio, and is a great way to discover and experiment with getting new forms and shapes).

The 1,5 : 1 ratio was specifically choosen to keep maths simple, in order to rebuild certain required bricks that build specific slope angles , such as a 45° (which is no longer possible to make from the FS default brick set when using asymmetric scale ratios, unless making composites).

But what this also does is opening up a totally new approach to making shapes, and..becoming quite a surprisingly easy shortcut to get unusual shapes or make variations on these, even with as little as just the rotation of the bricks/selection. (thanks to the distorted aspect ratio)  :-).

This is a must try for those who are into large grid designs, fake curves or interrested in experimenting around a little.

Enjoy!

Been working on this for a while. I though now it's time to publish it and see what you think...

Work-in-Progress …

Named for an early Pink Floyd song, Emily Play is a playful (sic!) display typeface which is rounded and seriffed.

Chcel som vytvoriť klasický font s rožšírením viacerých znakov tak, aby sa zachoval jeho vzhľad spojený so serifmi a preťahmi, ktoré obsahuje

I decided to be laynecom for a day, and this is the result. Didn't have time for numbers and punctuation though, unfortunately...

Some alternates available in Extended Latin A. Suggestions and critiques encouraged, as always. Thanks and enjoy!

This one-eyed character set places one circle-serif to start or end strokes somewhere on each glyph (except "O") in the set...hence it's name. Angled serifs acting as hands or feeet (or tails?) are used elsewhere. This is derived from the base font (lc) I used for previous efforts. I made it tall and then thought Cyclops (for SerifComp) to use now since I never released it (full disclosure). Anyway, a different view of what serif can be :)

G1 Radia. A scaled down version of an originally larger fontstruction. Lots of details with smooth micro bullnose serifs, high contrast stroke lines, and decorative ball terminals.
