Parka (Daniel Perraudin)

»parka« ist eine serifenlose fließtextschrift, die im rahmen der diplomarbeit am studiengang informationsdesign der fh joanneum graz entwickelt wurde.
die formen der »parka« sind streng und, vorallem in den fetten schnitten, kräftig. der wechselschwung in den rundungen der gemeinen verleiht ihr einen prägnanten charakter, der allerdings in kleinen graden hinter das schriftbild zurücktritt. auch die hohe x-höhe, sowie die großen interpunktionszeichen tragen zu ihrer hervorragenden lesbarkeit bei.

nach fertigstellung umfasst sie mittlerweile insgesamt 6 gewichte, von light bis black, jeweils mit kapitälchen, echten kursiven, hoch- und tiefstehenden ziffern, brüchen und akzenten für die meisten europäischen sprachen. momentan liegt sie in den formaten postscript type1 (mac) und truetype (win) vor, eine opentype version mit einer entsprechenden ot pro belegung befindet sich in vorbereitung.
Auszeichnungen: red dot award für hohe designqualität, eine auszeichnung beim österreichischen joseph binder award, if concept award, tdc award for typographic excellence! … katharina hölzl, ebenfalls absolventin der fh joanneum graz, hat für einen teil ihrer ausstellung »transformation into space« beim diesjährigen designmai youngsters in berlin die »parka« in den schnitten medium und bold verwendet

HIFI Stereo (Pelle Piano)

Pelle: »Often on old record covers there is this kind of letters indicating HiFi or Stereo. How can one resist doing a font of that, (naming it HIFI Stereo). Only uppercase at the time being.«

Well, it looks like Hellenic wide, if I can say so.

Worlds finest (Pelle Piano)

Pelle: There was an old refrigerator ad in LIFE Magazine that claimed it had the Worlds Finest refrigerators, hence the name of the font I tried to recreate. The original was outlined but I decided to fill it. I personally think it works best in smaller sizes. The above example is 25 points

Hip 20s (Pelle Piano)

Pelle: After seeing a commercial font in the same vein I decided to try to make one myself. Highly stylistic with some interesting kearning pairs and some odd ones. Making Hip 20s made me understanding the importance of installing the fonts properly. Just throw it on the System Folder and let your Mac do its thing, otherwise you may lose some important kearning pairs (the spacing between letters, there can be thousands of these in a font).

PP Handwriting (Pelle Piano)

Pelle: I think every aspiring font designer makes a font out of his/hers handwriting. PP Handwriting turned out a little »cartoony«. Has lowercase letters, small representations of the Uppercase.

Nordic (Prismtone)

Nordic von Prismtones. Sieht aus wie eine Kreuzung von DIN und Houschka. Zwei rounded Schnitte sind inkludiert.

Graublau Sans Web (Georg Seifert)

The design of Graublau Sans Pro took Georg Seifert over 5 years. With 7 weights and over 1000 glyphs per style, Graublau Sans is a type family that suits all typographic tasks. The regular styles have a rather clean and neutral appearance. The italics on the other hand, have a vivid design based on handwriting. For the use in headlines or logotypes Graublau Sans Pro offer 6 additional display styles with rounded corners and tighter spacing. Beside the typical western codepages, Graublau Sans Pro also supports Greek, Cyrillic, CE (Central European) and Turkish. There are also several sets of figures available: oldstyle figures and lining figures (both proportional and tabular), small caps figures, fraction figures, subscript and superscript figures and figures inside circles. The Graublau Sans Web package can be downloaded for free.

Gentium (SIL)

Gentium Basic and Gentium Book Basic are font families based on the original Gentium design, but with additional weights. The "Book" family is slightly heavier. Both families come with a complete regular, bold, italic and bold italic set of fonts.

Supported character ranges
The supported character set, however, is much smaller than for the main Gentium fonts. These "Basic" fonts support only the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement Unicode ranges, plus a selection of the more commonly used extended Latin characters, with miscellaneous diacritical marks, symbols and punctuation. In particular, these fonts do not support:


Full extended Latin IPA
Complete support for Central European languages
Greek
Cyrillic
A much more complete character set will be supported in a future version of the complete Gentium fonts. These "Basic" fonts are intended as a way to provide additional weights for basic font users without waiting until the complete Gentium character set is finished. So please don't request additional glyphs or characters to be supported in the Basic fonts - such support will become available in the main Gentium family in the future.

Hill House (Hicks Design)

Hill House is a typeface based on the distinctive handwriting of Glasgow architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). The Hill House is a building originally designed for the publisher Walter Blackie, and is now in the care of The National Trust for Scotland. Now that the copyright on his handwriting style is in the public domain, this typeface is seen everywhere in Glasgow, from jewellers to chip shops! For more information on Mackintosh visit the CRM Society. The font features special glyphs for the words ‘to’, ‘at’ and ‘of’, and contains Mac, PC and Opentype formats. Hill House isn't foundry quality, but it is free - just don't redistribute it and pass it off as your own.

Metalista (Suitcasetype, Tomáš Brousil)

Metalista is an expression of undying admiration at the persistency of the metal culture. Angular face of nearly monolinear proportions combines upper and lower case letterforms. The strengthened horizontal strokes are aimed at softening of the "gothic" feel of the face, and add to its contemporary character.

Fontin Sans (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)

Jos: »Tallys is a font that is one degree slanted and has large caps, a small x-height and long ascenders. It comes (see also Fontin) with hybrid numbers and a complete character set. Besides standard ligatures some other combinations can be accessed via (application) OpenType options. The Tallys has one weight and comes in one style: roman... but hey, it's free. Maybe, just maybe i'll change my mind and add other weights and an italic later.«

Museo Sans (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)

Jos: »Museo Sans is based on the well-known Museo. It is a sturdy, low contrast, geometric, highly legible sans serif typeface very well suited for any display and text use. Two fonts are absolutely free! Museo Sans font family comes in 10 fonts: 5 weights with each an italic. Museo Sans is spaced and kerned with Igino Marini's wonderful iKern service. This OpenType font family offers supports CE languages and even esperanto. Besides ligatures, fractions and proportional/tabular lining and oldstyle figures MUSEO also has a 'case' feature for case sensative forms.«

Museo (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)

Jos: »MUSEO ... it all started with my love for U. One day this uppercase letter U just came to me as an image in a daydream. I saw the top of both stems bended into semi-slab serifs. From this principle I worked out the rest of the uppercase letters. My first intention was to make it an all-caps display font but after a few months I changed my mind. I wanted it to be a bit more versatile, so I decided to add lowercase and adjusted spacing and kerning to increase legibility. This OpenType font family comes in five weights and offers supports CE languages and even esperanto. Besides ligatures, contextual alternatives, stylistic alternates, fractions and proportional/tabular figures MUSEO also has a 'case' feature for case sensative forms.«

Fertigo Pro (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)

Jos: »Fertigo has undergone a major update and is now called Fertigo Pro. Important changes are:
+ Extended language support (more than 150 glyphs added)* + Improved glyph shapes
+ Ten ornaments/dingbats added + improved metrics and kerning. Languages now (fully) supported: Latin / Central European / Croatian / Romanian / Icelandic / Turkish / Esperanto. Fertigo Prois spaced and kerned by Igino Marini with iKern. « Versal Esszett included.

Diavlo (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)

Jos: »Diavlo is a free font that contains 5 weights: Light, Book, Medium, Bold and Black. Languages now (fully) supported: Latin / Central European / Croatian / Romanian / Icelandic / Turkish / Esperanto. Diavlo contains more than 3.200 kerning pairs. So Tørwald can pick up his Téléphone without worrying. MacOSX - Because Diavlo contains more languages it can show up at the bottom of the font menu in Adobe CS applications. A workaround for this is to put a copy of Diavlo in: [ your hard drive name here ]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/«
