SMEERKAAS - Decorative, squarish geometric and rounded Art Nouveau display type
══[CONCEPT]══════
Modern typeface design influenced by Art Nouveau typography.
At its core it is a plain geometric style, and the real breakaway towards a more decorative 'Art Nouveau' inspired style starts with the elongated letterforms and their irregular descending elements. These give it a slight more interesting and dynamic flow that somewhat resembles a calligraphic or handmade look. Some of the descending elements in the uppercase string slightly differ in length and are more decorative, mimicking a dripping-like effect.
Unlike with a more traditional Art Nouveau lettering, the geometric backbone of this design keeps it quite futuristic looking, and actually provides a nice transitional blend of styles.
It works well at pretty much any point size, even at the very smallest, but keep in mind that the font wasn’t meant for large body style text, and is best used in short decorative setting.
══[TECHNICAL]══════
Cap height: 12 units
Body height: 17 units
Point size (Em): 18 units

══[BACKGROUND]══════
The name “SMEERKAAS” is dutch for “cheese spread”and it likely needs some further explanation on why this particularly odd name was chosen.
During the eighties we had this idiotic tv commercial that was aired on dutch
television for a cheese spread brand called “Goudkuipje”.
The plot for this commercial was a castle siege during medieval times, and it revolved around the phrase;
― "Ze smelten de kazen!" which translates to; ― "They melt the cheeses!"
The plot further enfolds into the defending part that had run out of hot tar to pour onto their enemies, alternatively they started melting cheese, so that they would be able to pour that down the castle's wall.
To better understand the link between my font and the tv-commercial you should watch the short commercial clip first.

But in a nutshell, the name was sort of choosen as a meme to suit the font's dripping-effect decorative theme.
I hope you like it so far...

This is a cloneInspired by fountain-based architecture, I've created my first fontstruction for the start of my UWE Graphic Design course. For this, I poured water onto different surfaces/objects with varying shapes to capture the cascading effect as reference images. Originally, I was first inspired by watercolour strokes to make a gradient effect, which developed into the idea of water fountains used in contemporary architecture.
Inspired by the Metallica logo

Open to comments and suggerstions!
Based on the theme of 'Energetic', this typeface is inspired by the footprints which teach people how to dance. The unrepeated pattern of footprint suggests spontaneity, and it also makes the typeface looks unusal and stands out. The font is designed to be decorative and to be use selectively. I think it will be suitable to party poster or promotion.
If it's not been touched for months, then it's finished? Well, even if it's unfinished, it can be public too.
Dots of different sizes, not touching each other (for most of the time) … took me quite some time back then
(I wouldn't be able to stick to the style, so if you need more glyphs, just clone it and do it youself ;) the license should permit this)
Zakhrafa is a type of Islamic art which consists of embellished geometric designs. It is often used to complement Arabic calligraphy on architecture to bookcovers and various media. The inspiration of this font comes from the various Islamic patterns that can be seen on buildings all across Qatar. After living there for 8 years, I learned a lot about the Islamic culture which is what I want the font to reflect.
This is a cloneWorking under the theme of 'Rebirth', I have focused my first font on the idea of post-war architecture, or otherwise commonly known as modernist/brutalist architecture. Buildings constructed following the Second World War were built using new technologies of construction. These types of designs were known for their use of modern materials such as concrete and steel as well as their interesting geometrical forms. I was heavily influenced by the architecture featured in Owen Hopkins' book 'Lost Futures' which looks at the disappearing architecture of post-war Britain and how changing external contexts played a role in the subsequent destruction of these buildings.
This font is based off the theme 'Wicked'. This is just a draft, but it is a complete set so I will leave it up to show my progress. This font uses spooky dead trees to make letter forms. This was not intended to have anything to do with Halloween, but the full set of characters was completed on this fateful 31st. Feedback is welcome!
Cassie is a Decorative font with connection brick forms with a connecting macaroni triline and connecting macaroni biline with a Straighten half snapped-stripes that give the font looks clean & rounded.
This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in decorative types. This font was made by Swedish Type Corp.
This type face was originally inspired by the title of horizon zero dawn, I have a love of Sci-fi and wanted to bring something bold with some movement built directly in. I veiw this working well being writen in an eastern style straight up and down, but also large and spread out.
