velodroma

 

Velodroma is display sans serif, probably one of the widest typefaces ever made. But the widest is not the only thing you get. You get regular and wide too and in one font, so you can combine them together. And if you do not want to do it by yourself the typeface will do it for you through stylistic sets. Be aware that this works only in Indesign by this time, but all the characters are available through wide and superwide styles in other apps too. There are also stylistc sets which will do pseudorandom spaces in between your letters so you can go really crazy with all the stylistic sets combined together. Full family package 3 regular and 3 inline styles

Try it with basic for free or buy the whole pack (1-5 PCs) with latin extended character set for €50.

Deus

 

Deus is when type design is brought to extreme. It tries to answer the question whether you can design all glyphs in one axis of stress. It does not try to be all purpose, usefull at all sizes, legible or readable and most of all it does not try to be neutral. It has its own style you either accept or not. But if you do so. It has many great stuff inside. Every glyph has the same width across four masters, so you can change the style in one title or even make an animation out of that. It also has some cool animated emojis, so make sure you take all four styles!s That's someting right, introductory offer for only €50. Wanna try it? yes, there are demo styles available.

rack

 



Rack came to me one night before bedime with no meaning, no sense to me. It just came and used me as a tool and I did my best. Nothing more, nothing less. Here's the result of my latest skill and knowledge. I really enjoyed working on it and it was really fun designing all the different shapes. Tens of them ended up in trash - too wierd, too simple, too complicated, you name it. Toughest part of the design was fining the right combination for each set of glyphs (lowercase, uppercase). Enjoy!



Rack is unicase, but consits of two different alphabets, both of them fully latin-extended charset. You can even mix the cases as you like. There are some emojis like german card symbols, money, eyes or pile of poo. With the eyes and poo you can even choose which way they will look through stylistic set. Try it with basic for free or buy one (1-5 PCs) with latin extended character set for €30.

FONT CREATION

- info

Got an idea or some sketches and you don't want to spend time developing font from it? Or you even got the glyphs already vectorized for exmaple in Illustrator but no software to create font? I happy to do it for you. It's not easy to know all the special settings for every kind of font. But lucky you are - We can produce both kinds of desktop fonts and webfonts too.

font finishing

- info

You have your font in a shelf for few months or years, but you never had time to finish it? Or you have to finish your font pretty quickly and you don't have the time or skill to do it? We can take care of it. We'er professional engineers and we can help you producing font or a family of fonts.

LARGE FAMILY PRODUCTION

- info

If you are building big family of fonts, it is not always easy to set up all the weights and widths correctly. Unfortunately for us Font Designers / Engineers Word is still most used text editor and its behavior is sometimes unexpected and you can not see the styles properly. I'm used to produce huge families with more then 50 fonts. We can take care of your family (not the Sicilian way =))

accents build/check

- info

We're comming from land with many different accents and we understand most of the meanings and principles of latin diacritics. It is not a rocket science to do a tcaron or aogonek but nevertheless most of the fonts have it wrong, if they have it at all. We can check diacritics of your font for you, or even develop it for you.

METRICS / KERNING

- info

Metrics are esential part of a design. As you draw black parts of your font, sometimes you loose track of the white parts. It always helps to have somebody to look at it and maybe fix some things you missed over the months spend on the aplhabet. We can also take care of karning, which is one of the most time consuming nad boring thing while finishing a font. We use semi-automatic scripting to make it faster and more complex.

cyrillic & greek

- info

Is your project expanding from Europe? Is there a need for Cyrillic languages? Does your client need greek extension? I'm happy to help you with these scripts if you need.

variation fonts

- info

If you were around for last few years, you probably haven't missed that thing. If you were around 20 years ago, you may heard about it too. Yes, it is back and now it is working for everybody. Variations fonts can hold huge family in one compressed font file. Some browsers already supports it and some Adobe CC apps too. We can help you to be ready for the next font revolution.

WEBFONTS / HINTING

- info

Oh webfonts... Every client wants them, but it not easy to build them properly. Windows XP, 2000, 7, 8, 10, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, v11.4.1, v63.2.6, v42.6. It is a mess to be honest, but there are possibilities to make it work as good as possible. And if you care about hinting We can help you find the best autohinting solution or even hint you a font manually.

scripting / lecturing

- info

You have a special feature in your font, but you don't want to do all the work by hand. It is very possible, that your pain can be solved by scripting. Tell us your problem and We will write a script for you.

If you are teaching type design and you would like to help your students to begin with a font designing software I'm very happy to help you. We can also give them an advanced lecure or scripting lecture. I've had a few workshops and lectures on topis of designing and engineering a font and I a teacher and I love this job.
