Monotional 3.0 is out! Now with full Vietnamese support

Thumbnail
gallery
38 Upvotes

Monotional is a humanist, monospace font based on DejaVu Sans Mono and inspired by André Berg's Meslo. It's intended as a nice font for programming or other technical work. I originally posted about Monotional here over a year ago.

Version 3.0 brings full Vietnamese support thanks to Dinh Quoc Han. There is also an OTF version available for users that prefer OTF, but it is primarily intended for Windows users on low dpi displays. Otherwise, the regular TTF version should provide the best experience.

This font is stable without any other changes currently in the works. Feel free to try it out :)

Is my font feature code syntax wrong?

[Help]
I’m currently making my first ever font. The font editor I’m using (Counterpunch) seems to say “no features” even though I typed some feature code. Could my code syntax be wrong?

FontMaster 1.9 - portable + TotalCommander viewer plugin

Post image
21 Upvotes

I made big update to FontMaster for Total Commander, now its also .exe

repo: FontMaster

for font works on windows, using viewer plugin for total commander is great,

main update - Fonts that now look right:

  • - Arabic script: Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Pashto, Kurdish, Uyghur. Letters join, text runs right to left, and the inspector shows the four letter forms.

  • - Hebrew and Yiddish: right to left, with vowel marks in place.

  • - Syriac, N'Ko, Thaana, Mongolian: joining and right-to-left where those scripts need it.

  • - Indic: Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Sinhala. Consonant clusters combine and vowel signs sit in the right place.

  • - Southeast Asian: Thai, Lao, Khmer, Myanmar and Tibetan, including line breaks between words in Thai and Lao.

  • - Emoji fonts: families, flags and skin tones show as one emoji.

plus standalone .exe file

and some speed up and other optimization

enjoy

A new font I'm working on. Inspired by Gill Sans, Rockwell and a little bit of Garamond. What do you think?

Garamond mostly for the z, T, and Z. Thought it would help it stand out from other slab serif fonts.

I've been working on this typeface and I'd love to hear your first impressions!

I've always been drawn to humanist and calligraphic typefaces, I'm not entirely sure why, but I guess it has something to do with my background in calligraphy

So I thought, why not try making one myself? This time I wanted to combine two things I really love in type design, tall, condensed letterforms and the humanist/calligraphic style

I made this typeface as a little side project, so it doesn't have many features

how did I do guys? I'd love to hear y'all thoughts!

Font: Permeable

That which is allowed to pass through cannot knock you down. Permeable is blackletter with an open feel. Open up to what comes, because this too shall pass.

Best Font for Quick Read Referencing

7 Upvotes

Hey all! So I'm designing some reference cards for the bar I work at for all their drink recipes - think flash cards on a key ring for quick reference sort of thing.

Since at least some of the time these recipes will be read during moments of rush, I'm wondering if there are any fonts that are designed for quick/easy reading that I may want to look out for

Thanks so much!

Wobblesam Fixement is a randomless version of Wobblesam: instead of the eyes and strokes wandering, they are fixed forward. You can also use the variable font version to control two gaze axes - X and Y - to point individual glyphs eyes at anywhere you like, as you see in the demo images.

Available for free under the OFL at CastIronType.com.

Research on Computational Type Design

0 Upvotes

Hi! As part of my research, I am developing a model for categorising computational typography systems, aiming to ground it not only in the literature on computational typography but also in the principles and history of type design. To support this work, I would like to gather the perspectives of experienced type designers on the type design process and the formal characteristics of letterforms.

I would therefore like to invite you to participate in this study. I kindly ask you to complete the following questionnaire, which collects general information about your background and experience in type design. The questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. All information will be treated confidentially and used exclusively for research purposes.

You can access the questionnaire here: https://forms.gle/FBw1j6NPyL7vxQcn6

If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

Thank you very much!

How to implement combining diacritics in Counterpunch font editor?

1 Upvotes

I am making my own font for linguistics use. So it will need to have combining diacritics. But how do you implement them in the Counterpunch font editor?


r/typography • • 6d ago Bravo

I made a free font family. Your already overcrowded font folder can blame me :D Goodform has nine weights and extended latin support and it's totally free :) Link in first comment :)

How would you classify these typeforms (2nd printed line)?

Post image
22 Upvotes

I would gather they are Victorian, but since that term encompasses far too many styles and also applies to the layouting, I wonder if you guys know of a more specific grouping name. These belong to a book printed in Mexico in 1901.
