An avantgarde serif with a mild horror theme. It takes advantage of the properties of antialiasing/text smoothing algorithms to render a convincingly handmade aesthetic.

Making attractive, consistent, nonpixel serif designs at this grid size is quite a challenge. Making them look handmade is even moreso. I've tried that many times, but this design is the first such one I felt was truly usable. It doesn't quite look typewriter-esque, but blends well with other designs that are.

For this I used many different serif shapes, with each one depending on how the line it was attached to wanted to bend or terminate. This is in contrast to most other serif designs I've seen, in which the serifs themselves are more consistent in shape. I decided against faux-bezier curves for this, because they all looked way too polygonal. I think this is one of few cases where a rectangular O and S enhance the overall design rather than weakening it.

Version 0.5

A font made for a Terraria mod. It gets its name because parts of it remind me of halberd, partisan, and/or axe heads. I designed this to have the vaguely authoritation look of a Didone as well as a borderline-gaudy look that prevents this from being taken as seriously as other Didones. These changes lent some much-needed character to the prototypical Didone from which this design evolved. The uppercase letters are more heavily ornamented, as if to suggest that they are letters from an illuminated manuscript.

The main texture is a diamond pattern inspired by vent holes in medieval armor. These were often made with a square punch, and help the font look more handmade.

Notes

The wider letters are incised, which seems to lessen their perceived wideness by breaking up the shapes. For me this effect lent a more natural flow to the reading.

The ornamentation rules are complicated and factor in lettershapes, English letter frequency, and the existing design parameters. One thing I can concisely explain is that glyphs which normally look fairly plain are ornamented to such an extent that they make others look plain instead (CGJLT1 among others).

A Western-style font created by me…

Added Lowercase… (k and x were the hard ones to do)

Just some doodle grown into a whole font

it's a bit hard to read. I don't really consider kerning it. Suggestions are welcome.

My take on those classic serif style stencil designs.

Initially I started this design as a all caps display style, the desicion for a lowercase came once the uppercase already had been completed, and I truly had a hard time making a good looking lowercase for this one.

Also it felt like kerning this style was much harder to see and get right than most other fonts I made.

There still remains a number of things I had rather seen different, like those numerals, but this is the best I could do for now, I hope you like it!

Same as DAZH, just with higher detail.

Pixelated, Serifed font.

I really liked my last slab serif font, and so I decided to make another one. This time, we've put the file on it and rounded the corners.

Here is my Serif version of my Altrimaya alphabet. This alphabet is developed specifically for use with English and Kynaat (link can be found in comments). Unlike my Atemayar Extended font, this font only covers these following letters and currency symbols:

For English: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$

For Kynaat: AÅÃÂBČDĎÐEĚFGĞHIJKLŁMNŇOØÕPRŘSŠTUÛVXYÝZŽ₮

Experimenting with 5x3, 5x2, 5x1 composites. The Stems are 3/5 block wide.

Name is a pun and a work-in-progress.

This is my first try at a serif-style font.

If you need any character set specifically, message me and I'll add them ASAP.

Contains:

-Basic Latin 100%!

-Latin Supplement 100%!

-Latin Extended A 100%!

-Latin Extended B ~60%

Planned: Cyrillic, Greek & Coptic, Latin Extended Additional

More coming soon!

5x5

LOL

A serif gothic decorative font with decorated initials.

A serif square font referencing minimalistic approach to renaissance print fonts.

5x5 pixel serif design with no wasted matrix AND no kerning! For a long time I didn't think such a design was possible, but here it is.

Wanna see a magic trick? Clone this font and go into edit mode.

FontSruct adaptation of FixedMedium 8x16 (/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/8x16.pcf), an X11 PCF from the X.Org font server distribution.

None of these glyphs are mine. This Fontstruction was created for the sake of preservation. The original font also has some katakana characters, but since it uses a custom mapping, and since I don't speak or read Japanese, I am unsure of how to add them correctly.

WIP

A condensed neoclassical "Didone" serif typeface.

I have completed only the basic font so far, and there is only the bare minimum of kerning applied for now. More character, accent and symbols follow soon.

I hope you like it so far!

Pixel + Serif

Best at pixel size (12px)

Because of the pixel design I was able to create lots of characters. Even control pictures (no matter if someone needs them). If you need more, just ask.

Cyrillic and IPA under construction.

Experimented as I usually do with a half-thickness version of the font which looked good enough to do the entire thing over.

Naturally this is more of a body text font than the default Gemini.

I began doing a serif font, and found that I really liked it when I rounded the corners off a bit. It makes it look rather cyberwestern. Have you ever played Wild Guns on the SNES? It's got that vibe about it.

Ultraviolence & Drugs

A blackletter gothic style font, dark and mysterious.

Work in progress.

I am tired

By request, a small, sporty, polygonal, uppercase serif font. The name is inspired by Hammer from Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. This is quirky, strong, and from nowhere - just like Hammer.

This design seems best for signage, woodcuts, and the like. It carries a bit of a "sports" look too. The numerals and symbols are sans serif to make them look more modern. The asterisk is a hammer. Is it Hammer's hammer or Hammer's brother (who is a hammered Hammer Brother)'s hammer? No one knows.
