a connected version of "folletto fino"...
This is a clone of Folletto FinoELEVATED (PRINT) - A 3D outline display typeface design with shadow effect.
It's inspired by the lettering from a sketch by great Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
===========================================================
This is the long overdue shadow style variant which was requested by Goatmeal and elmoyenique. It has diagonal shading lines included (as was also presented in the original sketch by Jurriaan Schrofer)
This rework has one major difference compared to all previous versions, once more it was constructed with a different size to grid ratio, one that corrects the size distribution, enabling the recreation of the original sketch with high accuracy.
The stroke weight in this "PRINT" version more accuratly mimics the original sketch and therefor is not optimized for digital display use.
===========================================================
The shadow effect is the default style for this font, this also includes all numerals, punctuation marks and other symbols that make up the full font, these occupy the uppercase. The outline style A-Z glyphs occupy the lowercase.
Enjoy!
This is a cloneELEVATED (REWORK) - A 3D outline display typeface design with shadow effect.
It's inspired by the lettering from a sketch by great Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
===========================================================
This re-work differs from Jurriaan's original sketch and my previous versions.
I changed the size to grid ratio, drastically reducing overall glyph size and increase stroke weight. The changes are optimizing the design, making it more suitable for digital display use. (more accurate 'print' version forthcoming).
===========================================================
Due to the inexperience I had in my early days of FontStructing, and the lack of proper knowledge about raster scaling, I faced some serious issues regarding the correct size distribution. This made it impossible to include the diagonal lines correctly into that old version of the font, with the diagonals also having equal seporation and white space throughout the entire design.
So instead of making a clone of my previously published version "STF_ELEVATED" in order to include the shadow style variation into that existing family as a seporate FontStruction (like I did with most other style variations in my "LETTERS OP MAAT" series), for this one I decided to rebuild the entire typeface from scratch.
Putting all the style variations together into this single re-worked design.
Some extra characters were added to the set, making it a slightly more functional basic font.
===========================================================
The shadow effect is the default style for this font, this also includes all numerals, punctuation marks and other symbols that make up the full font, these occupy the uppercase. The outline style A-Z glyphs occupy the lowercase.
Enjoy!
MIKITA - A "Chrome Script" style font based on the "Makita" logo type.
It is a simple 'semi' connected script, with only the basic character set. I don't feel like this requires having tons of typographic features. It is just aimed at writing simple things in this script style.
I hope you like it nonetheless
Cheers
ORIENTFAHRTEN (Pro) — Semi-connected script-style font design
═══════════════════════════════════
Losely based on the lettering that was seen on a 1929 poster design by German painter Ottomar Carl Joseph Anton (1895-1976) for the “Hamburg-Amerika Line” * (click for image of the original poster)
Whereas the original (non-Pro)-version aimed at extracting that “stylistic essence” of the lettering, and made an attempt at extrapolating and restoring a full alphabet from the letters provided by the original poster. And this basically became sort-of a font revival with a little extra's.
ORIENTFAHRTEN (Pro) than took this to a whole other level, This refor-mation wasn't guided by Ottomar's original poster-lettering, but rather a remodeling and amelioration of my initial work.
Many glyphs were fully re-invented, others only just partially improved.
In addition to this, many new things were introduced as well. For example, the font was further ornated with various typographic elements and bits, reminiscent of calligraphic hand lettering. Turning this into a much more attractive looking little novelty.
Also some “technical” restructuring of the Unicode character mapping, to creating more user-friendly text formatting properties.
Since it is a semi-connected script, certain characters were deliboratly disconnect and some weren't. For example, the uppercase letters almost all disconnect, whereas the majority of lowercase letters will connect by default. A set of glyphs alternate forms was included that allow to break the 'connected' flow of a text.
These also function sort-of as “Contextual Substitutions”, but without OpenType's automated glyph-stream lookup classes. Yet these do allow the manual control over word-endings and word-space situations. So when a default-glyph is followed by a white-space, a glyph-alternate form could than be selected to replace the default-character encoding and improve overall aesthetics and natural flow of text. These substitutions are located in the “Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms” and “Private Use Area's” Unicode blocks. In addition to the default alphabet letters the font also includes numerous symbols and punctuation marks, as well as ligatures.
As for the “numberscomp” that is currently in progress:
This font was specially fitted with 5different schemes for text figure arrangement.
• Didot-(old style) non-lining (font default)
• Traditional-(old style) non-lining
• Clean-(modern) lining
• Tradidotional-(old style) non-lining
• Ornate-(modern) lining
— This does temporarily create a new problem for me though... As this would be my fourth submission to the competition, where a maximum of only three font submissions is allowed. Now, which of these previous entries am I going to eliminate?!
I hope you like it,
Cheers
