New Portfolio Section: Typeface

Alexander Sperl — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:34:52 +0000

I’ve added a new section to my Portfolio called Typeface. In the last months I have used FontStruct to create some typefaces. Now, I think I might be able to offer some of them. (There are others I’m not that fond of .)

Right now, my fontstructions are the following:

Constr: A heavy typeface.
Plastik: A pixel optimized typeface for displays. A top pick.
Runde Pixelig: A pixel optimized typeface for headlines (best used at 64pt.). A top pick.
Thin Sans: A, well, thin typeface with some details.

All fonts are available for free download. However, as you might see there are some difficulties concerning line-height etc. but this is something the folks at FontStruct have to figure out… Enjoy, it would be great if you drop me a line in case you use one of them.

Ooooh, am I excited or what? My pixel font Plastik received a Top Pick from the folks at FontStruct. Thank you very much.

Every once in a while there’s an online application which really blows your mind. And here’s this while’s mind-blowing online application:

FontStruct

FontStruct is a wonderful tool provided by the good folks at fontshop, which let’s you develop your own true type font from predefined elements. Here’s what I did in half an hour yesterday.

It needs a lot of detail work, of course, but you get the overall idea: Meaning that FontStruct is easy to use, you get your results fast and it’s fun.

Try it and mail your results in the comments.

Oh boy, I’m excited!
