My typeface was inspired by the idea of squishy warm candle wax. I melted wax onto alphabet fridge magnets then copied them into Frontstruct. This was a very lengthy process which too weeks to create, however I am happy with the final design.

Google's font on Winty's site sparked it! Sarreyn taught* me smooth curves. *I learned by looking.

This is the starting point for a project I'm running here on Fontstruct about collective development within type design. It is a part of my thesis project at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden.
I am interested in trying to push Fontstruct's limitations and try to make the "best" font possible due to readability. I am producing a catalogue about Open Source thinking whitin design. I want this catalogue to use this typeface for all the text. Since Fontstruct has the possibility to "Clone" typefaces it would be a good place to collectively try to develope a typeface. And since Fontstruct has an Open Source approach it would be a good platform to try out an experiment like this!
You are welcome to join the project by cloning these sketches or make a new font. The goal is to make a typeface that will work good in longer texts. Name your submission "Open Text" and add your name or anything after to keep track of the different fonts in the project. Use the clone feature to develope other submissions to make this a collective thing! Publish your work even though it isn't a complete font set. Other people might get ideas from your work that will gain the quality of the project!
I have posted invitations to join this project at different forums/blogs. Read the invitation here: www.selectedworks.se/opentext
If you have any questions, please contact me at: aronkullander@gmail.com
Hope you will join the project!

My first true italic font, work in progress.
Thrillions of years just to make a k that seems like it's running out of the word. Someone stop that k! It's willing to scape from my crappy alphabet!!

A boxy typeface with unfinished outlines, giving the look and feel of an old arcade game font.

No reference used at all. This is me drawing Paul Renner's original Futura from memory, without intending to. Actually, I was going for something more Avante Garde. It all started with the O and developed from there. The hardest letter = S. It was a real pain in the S. It was interesting afterward to compare the letters to Futura after finishing the caps.
Futura - It was like the Helvetica of 1928.
Bezziaire is an early experimental simulation of Bezier curves with FS2.0. Zooming 30% and below renders best results.
Horizontal optical compensation added for the circular glyphs, as well as baseline overshoots.

Oh yeah, this also has preliminary involvement with shasta's circle competition, which is seriously humbled by his Circle Cult.

My name is Geostruct Grotesque and I'm a typeface. I love grotesque and gothic type fonts, particularly with vertical exaggeration; so I set out with this in mind and here's the result. Love Trade Gothic & Univers Condensed.

Xerro. Because it started with the o, and it looks like zero, even though there's no numerals. Another faux bezier helveticaesque looking sans serif experiment. Lowercase for now.

Legere. Latin root of the word 'legible.' An attempt at an original legible serif typeface. No single reference used, but I did keep the Serif section of the FontBook always open. After finishing the letters, it guess it resembles Melior or Renault.
Somewhat inspired after caliopigio released Formal Roman. Maximization of composite angles were used to hammer out smooth curves in a smaller grid space. Cap height=42. I know I can make it smoother by working at twice the size, but at this point, fuggeddaboutit.

I love chocolate, it's tasty stuff. So I've designed a cheap and cheerful typeface to express how I feel.

A quick test of the new fractional composites. And to see if there are any abnormalities that come up.
