A Unicode version of "7:12 Serif". I am going to finish the font as soon as possible.
This is a clone of 7:12 SerifAmstrad CPC ASCII 8x8 Charset (Basic Latin + More Latin, complete) Added chars not inc luded in original Amstrad CPC charset. WARNING: no updates, use best http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/amstrad_cpc_correct that correct my errors :)
THIS FONT IS A COPY OF "FORMAL ROMAN"
I want to try to expand this font so it can have more characters and supports more varieties of languages
Expansions :
- Latin Extended-A
- Cyrillic
- Greek
- Added more letters and symbols in More Latin
If there are any mistakes, please inform me, and I will fix it asap
This is a cloneWhat began nearly 8 years ago as an experiment in multi-stage, multi-resolution pixel serif type drafting (starting smallish then manually upscaling x4), took on the robust character you see here after countless edits and some tricky lessons learned along the way.
The initial weight was on the light side (cloned privately for posterity), so I took a leap into this bookish weight by fattening each glyph copy-pasted 1 pixel shifted both up and to the right. A rudimentary technique, by no means novel, yet almost wholly effective. I saw fit from here to only make a handful of corrections, keeping the slightly rounded and slanted serif shape that resulted as well as the subtle reenforcing of a pen-nib construction.
More intriguing is the 1-bit “anti-aliasing” scheme I found myself progressively guided toward while finding the lines of these curves developing the initial light weight. Implied diagonals and said curves – as well as refinement of contrast – are substantially more granular and specific than had I taken a black-and-white posterized, or stairstepped approach.
At half-resolution, the resulting smoothness is acceptible. This type of hinting will be useful in developing a substitution rule set consisting of subpixel slanted or curved bricks to produce a “vectorized” version.
Indeed, such a process could be purely automated by a proficient developer or properly trained neural network (this would be a really interesting future feature for fontstruct pro – rather than hinting a font after painstaking vector construction, why not reverse the process by way of en vogue ai-assisted upscaling?).
Basic accented charaters and numerals are being added as I churn through the extended character set...
