Teranoptia is a free without letters but instead of creatures, , etc.

You can use it to "create border ornaments, to daydream about monsters or just to spice your layouts with marginalia".

'Teranoptia is a without letters, a peculiar contraption that allows you to imagine chimeric creatures just by typing letters with your keyboard. Its design has been inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry and by medieval illustrations, as well as by children's books. You can use it to create border ornaments, to daydream about monsters or just to spice your layouts with .'

Electric Blue is a rounded pixel typeface derived from Daniël’s experimentation with melting and conjoining pixels. It is a variable font with extremely bold and thin poles and a surprising switch in-between. The look of Electric Blue taps into the nostalgia of retro futuristic design from the Space Age ’60s and Neon Glow ’80s.

I made a called Astrograph. It's inspired by the typography on ship hulls and by fonts like Microgramma and Eurostile! Check it out and be sure to grab a copy if you plan on christening any starships any time soon.

Forget April Fools, this font is the real deal.

Any weirdos out there? Thinking I might use Public Sans for a new text-heavy website project.

Am I making a terrible decision? Do I have horrible taste in ? https://public-sans.digital.gov/

@fromjason Public Sans is fine 👍 (completely subjective and amateurish opinion, though)

Playfair has evolved. To celebrate I have typeset Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” in Playfair 2. https://playfair2.forthehearts.net/Playfair2_Origin_of_Species.html

While designing fonts, it is just as normal these days to design “dynamic first”, just like “mobile first” for websites.

Animated “Bbb” in the dynamic typeface Scribo.

“Our primary is Sweden Sans. Sweden Sans is used to provide accessibility, simplicity, and consistency throughout all brand communications. Our is as unique as it is easy to use. Inspired by the old signages system in , it was designed to maximise its impact across all applications while keeping it easy to read, ownable, and highly recognisable.”

That is a nice font. Their fallback is Sans.

Before Helvetica, there was Helvetia. 🇨🇭

Helvetia (“Switzerland”) was the name used by some German foundries for a left-leaning that originated at Wagner & Schmidt. In France, it was known as Helvétiennes (“the Swiss”). English foundries called the light weight Engadine, after the region in the Swiss Alps (the bold was named Waverley, with no apparent connection to Switzerland),

See it in use on a multiscript business card printed in Egypt around 1910: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/54869/m-m-chadakhtzian-business-card

puresick,

Anyone interested in a new typeface?

For more than a year now I am working on my first own typeface in my freetime and just recently finished a first usable version of it.
While still unfinished, let me present it to you nevertheless:

DH Volltext, a serif typeface made for body text.

https://volltext.hnnng.space

It is free to download (SIL Open Font License 1.1). I would be happy and grateful for any feedback on it. :) Boosts are also welcome.

olavf,

I ended up cheating and using a font plugin (for now) because WP wasn't finding it in any of the usual locations.

Anyway, some of this is probably related to the plugin, and a bunch related to the theme (Origin) Maybe a crash course in css would help.

Overall, the font isn't any larger on my site [see above]. But the kerning is rather nice without feeling like block text. Numbers can be wonky where they're drop case a little in some instances

puresick,

@olavf @olav Yeah WP can be finicky sometimes! But your blog looks great!

Glad to hear you like the kerning. That was (and is) something I struggled the most with not knowing for sure if it is good enough.

Can you share a screenshot showing an example of the numbers being wonky?

A local vinyl sign has gone wonky in the heat of the last several summers and accidentally created the greatest of all time.
