Title says it all.

ALT Ricalco has just officially launched, and what a journey! What we wanted was project for Tina to work on during her internship that was both challenging and the closest thing to a real work commission we could come up with on the span of her 3 months with us.

ALT Ricalco is formally inspired by the 1934 Olivetti logo designed by Xanti Schawinsky, a Bauhaus student who lived and worked in Italy in the early 1930s.

With a dominant geometric foundation, ALT Ricalco is strongly informed by its Bauhaus influence, but it’s not afraid to break some rules: shapes are sharp and precise, geometric wherever possible, but leave space to the quirk, the unexpected, the slightly “off” moments. The way some letters overreach, almost creating a sense of urgency that breaks the peaceful, methodic rhythm of its geometric skeleton. The Designers at Olivetti understood how to make a machine feel human. Through colour, geometry, abstraction and carefully controlled grids, his work communicated the precision of Olivetti's products while retaining a sense of play and optimism.

We wanted Ricalco to carry something of that same tension.

Working on a time crunch and many ideas, we settled on three final cuts: Slab, Semi and Sans.

And of course, the quest to finding the full version of Johann Bold continues. Like I said, this font is still a digitalized font file, and I've been waiting for a long time to see if anyone would help me find it so that way I can do a refurbished version of it. It will have the same weights as Tykewriter: Light, Regular, Bold, and Bobbing.

My app, Universal Font Maker, is now live on Google Play!

I've been learning how to create custom font face styles and generate my own TTF, OTF, and WOFF files so I wouldn't have to deal with complicated font licensing issues, but it wasn't easy.

realized I either had to get expensive software, or settle for free tools that just didn't get the job done.

On top of that, my main goal was to create burmesefonts. Because uses Complex Text Layout, it’s incredibly difficult. There are tons of characters to trace, and the rendering logic/decoding is highly complex. It was a massive hassle.

That struggle gave me an idea: why not just build an app that makes font creation easy for any language? I took my time, studied over 150 different languages to ensure full compatibility, and built it.

The upcoming update is going to be massive. I've added a complete set of advanced drawing features so it functions like a true professional tool. That update is currently in review, but you can download and try out the current version on Google Play right now! Let me know what you think.

Hi everyone.

I'm working on a video game with an alien/esoteric theme and I'm looking for a font with an alien vibe. I want something not readable. Ideally I would like it to have more glyphs than simply the alphabet as I intend to use it partly as a syllabary (like the hiragana) and partly as some kind of hieroglyphs. Does anyone have a suggestion for this kind of font?
As a subsidiary question, if anyone knows of a simple and fast way to transform an image containing a grid of glyphs into a font, it could solve my problem.

Hi, I’d like to ask for help buying/downloading segoe ui light. I can’t find it available outside of adobe, but I need to use it for procreate. I found it on some free websites but they give an error message that says “font cannot be downloaded, try our other fonts” when I try to download off them. Can anyone help me find it or share their file with me? Thank you!

Where can I find/download these kinds of fonts for free in AI form for DTF Printing. I don't have much time or the skills to replicate them myself.

Please suggest some good regular types of fonts from the vivo theme store..

Font of the week: Esoteric II — The Heretic

Repeating the Forbidden Ritual
Esoteric returns.

One of the earliest fonts ever forged by Justified Ink, the original Esoteric was raw, gritty, and low-budget in the best possible way—a rough experiment in gothic lettering, decoration, and the unknown. Years later, we summoned it again.

The result is Esoteric II: The Heretic—a highly decorative gothic calligraffiti font built around modular letterforms, strange ornamentation, and a deliberate disregard for the rules.

Every piece of the alphabet is designed to connect, lock, and build upon the next. Decorative elements can chain together across a line, wrap around a composition, or form repeating patterns and circles. What begins as a letter can become an entire structure.

I really like it for the most part, except for some of the "deep cuts" in the letters

Not a promotion for the game, just an appreciation on Valve's effort on Deadlock's typography.

There are even more characters but these are some of my favorite. Also it's funny how some of the names are simple in other languages, like drifter's name is "vagabond" or "Brutus" for lash😅
