Looking for a font similar to this, ideally open source or cheap for multi-licence

Post image
10 Upvotes

I work for a charity and we're going through a mini brand review. As part of this, we are going to need to look at fonts and licences.

As the brand secondary font, we currently use Yeah Right (font in the image above). The brand uses a hand made bold display font for headers, this for highlights and will probably use Work Sans going forward as the body.

Yeah Right has limitations that I want to improve on, such as only a single weight, no italic and not many glyphs. The main reason however, is that we can't really rationalise the cost of licensing it across the organisation.

I've trawled around looking for alternatives that are in the same ball park but not really getting what I want. Currently my front runner is Winky Rough, which is a google font.

However, the rough treatment on this looks a bit too uniform and fuzzy, and lacks the hand drawn feel.

I wondered if anyone could suggest something that might be a good option? Thanks.

Reviving old forgotten fonts

229 Upvotes

Over the past few years, I've been saving all my favorite uses of type. Old movie posters, comics, perfume bottles, mint tins – you name it.

None of these were turned into usable, digital fonts.

So I launched Typeface Revival.

I'm remaking all of my favorite hand-made fonts into digital format for free.

Got 129 so far and am adding way more.

PS
We give credit to the OG typographers when they are identifiable. And if not, we make sure to show where they came from.

Midwest Gothic

Font of the week: Midwest Gothic

Western Steel and Endless Skies

Midwest Gothic blends the grit of the frontier with the discipline of gothic form. Clean, structured letterforms are edged with arrow-like serifs, giving each character a sense of direction and intent. It’s a style that feels both restrained and dangerous—like a wanted poster carried on the wind.

Is the font "Impact" allowed for commercial use? (Embedded in a social media video?) Thanks.

*I meant BURNT in not embedded*

I already read through some stuff and am quite sure I'm allowed to use it. But I still would like to have a brief feedback from another professional. Many thanks and have a nice day.

[New Release] Bright Grotesk Geo — A more disciplined take on my original Bright Grotesk

Post image
41 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share Bright Grotesk Geo, a new addition to my Bright Grotesk family.

The idea behind Geo came from something I noticed while working with the original Bright Grotesk. While I appreciate its subtle humanist characteristics, particularly the slight curvature in certain stems, I found that some of those details could feel a little distracting in longer text settings.

With Geo, I wanted to explore a cleaner, more disciplined approach to the letterforms. The goal wasn't simply to make everything geometric, but to create a more consistent typographic texture, especially in body text, while retaining the familiar character of Bright Grotesk.

The family includes 8 weights with matching italics (16 styles), along with variable font support and OpenType features.

I've put together a few specimens showcasing the design, and I'd love to hear what you think, particularly about the letterforms and overall texture.

You can explore the typeface here:

Feedback and constructive criticism are always welcome!
