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

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.

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/«

Delicious (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)


Jos: »The Delicious is a font I designed because of my admiration for typography. It got a bit out of hand and in two years it resulted in a complete font family. Every character has a unique shape. Consistency in spacing, not in the character shape. The Delicious italic is not a slanted roman, but a true italic. Special attention was given to character spacing to obtain a homogenic eappearance. With it's relatively large x-height the Delicious can be used for text in smaller point sizes. All weights have exactly the same line length. «

Anivers (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)


Jos: »I wanted Anivers to be a robust and rigid font, forgiving, flexible and elegant... and also suitable for a broad use: from a stationery to a poster headline. From an intro in a magazine to a base for a logo. This OpenType font family comes in regular, italic, bold and small caps and has some nice OpenType features. Besides ligatures, contextual alternatives, fractions, oldstyle/tabular numerals, Anivers also has a 'case' feature for case sensative forms and tabular numerals ... so Anivers can crunch numbers with ease. Each Anivers font contains more then 400 glyphs ... even Esperanto is supported. « And even an versal Esszett is included.

Fontin (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)


Jos: »The Fontin is designed to be used at small sizes. The color is darkish, the spacing loose and the x-height tall. Don't forget to check Fontin Sans! The numbers of the Fontin have a 'hybrid' design. They carry the characteristics of medieval numbers, but their size is larger than the x-height. The Fontin italic is not a slanted roman, but a true italic.«

Fontin Sans (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)


Jos: »I've designed Fontin Sans to be a suitable sans companion of Fontin. With a nice classical appearance it will be a perfect match. Fontin will be rereleased in OpenType format (soon) as Fontin Semi (with a Bold Italic) to match new metrics an kerning. Be sure to check back once a while.«

Thryomanes



Thryomanes with greek support.
»I created the Thryomanes font for representing extended Latin characters and IPA, since most standard fonts do not include these characters. However, some versions of Internet Explorer may have trouble with the IPA characters, depending on which fonts are installed on your system. It appears to be trying to use the Lucida Sans Unicode font if you have it, and you may see a crude, badly spaced imitation of the IPA characters if you don't. Because of the Internet Explorer problems, I temporarily abandoned Unicode in favor of the following method:

The Thryomanes IPA font (ThrIPA) is an encoding of the IPA into the ISO 8859-1 characters available to web pages. This method is readable by Internet Explorer as well as Netscape, although IE still gets the spacing wrong with non-spacing diacritics. Still, it's better than the alternatives. Also, older browsers that do not support Unicode should still be able to use this method. The only difficulty is that the font is currently only available in TrueType format, although I may be able to provide other versions of the font if necessary.«
