Acknowledgementwas a quick font project, which I wanted to complete in time to give a copy of the result to a friend to commemorate her thirtieth birthday. The inspiration was a considerably older source: some victorian wood type which I had printed about six months earlier. The test word I composed was ‘acknowledgement’

League Gothic / League Ghotic ExtendedLeague Gothic is a revival of an old classic, and one of our favorite typefaces, Alternate Gothic No.1. It was originally designed by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders Company (ATF) in 1903. The company went bankrupt in 1993. And since the original typeface was created before 1923, the typeface is in the public domain.We decided to make our own version, and contribute it to the Open Source Type Movement. It’s free, not only in price, but in freedom.

ElectrumJ'étais bien loin d'imaginer que la réalisation de ce caractère prendrait autant de temps. Depuis les premiers dessins mis en ligne fin 2008, j'ai De même, j'ai profité de cette réalisation pour fixer les scripts opentypes liés aux indices et dérivés parfois utilisés en publication. L'objectif était de faire un script unique modulable, en du développement de polices avec des jeux de caractères étendus.

MekanusLa famille de police Mekanus est née d'un exercice de style ayant pour objet de combiner un style typewriting et courbes qui rappellent l'écriture Durant le developpement, elle a été empattée de manière à embellir le rendu initial. Avec le temps, elle a été étendue avec de nombreuses ligatures qui servirent à écrire le script opentype, ainsi que le placement PUA de manière à pouvoir être incorporées dans les polices postscript.

IkariusLes polices Ikarius utilisent des hauts et bases de caractères épaißis et droits par rapport au corps et se caractérisent également par un serif carré pour les bas de caße. Elles sont deßinées de manière à offrir un rendu visuel équilibré, utilisables à la fois pour le texte et le titrage.Ikarius poßède un espacement reßerré lui donne un aspect légèrement condensé. Dans cette version les caractères « v, y, w » ont des serifs sur la partie supérieure comme les autres caractères de la police. La barre inférieure de l'œil du « e » est oblique, moins conventionnel peut-être, mais apportant une touche très esthétiqueIkarius N°2 a été conçue à partir de variantes de design de caractères, suite à mon indécision quant aux choix finaux de ces derniers et des espacements. Dans cette version les caractères « v, y, w » n'ont pas de serifs sur la partie supérieure comme les autres caractères.Elle est außi légèrement retaillée pour donner un aspect plus arrondi ainsi qu'un espacement plus aéré par rapport à la version originale.Le style Italique est un oblique utilisant des variantes pour le « a, f, g, » pour les deux versions.Reste à savoir maintenant laquelle vous préfèrerez...

Cantarell“The Cantarell is a contemporary Humanist sans serif designed for on-screen reading; in particular, reading web pages on an HTC Dream mobile phone….This device runs Google Android and therefore has a web browser supporting the exciting new web fonts feature known as @font-face.

As my very first typeface design, the typeface has many faults, yet it achieves the goal of improving readability on this device.”
