So, right off the bat, it is clear that it is more work to make this work with desktop apps, and that the circumstances make the web benefit more and get easier adoption. But with web fonts being a big deal and file size a huge concern, this is a newly important benefit. Second, the other benefit of variable fonts, more compact representation of large families, was barely noticed the first time out. This means that traditional desktop design/authoring apps need to implement sliders or some user interface to reap the benefits of the technology (although this is not so much of an issue for the web). Why should this time be different?įirst, I will note that when it comes to traditional design, it is only when there is support for the designer/user picking their own arbitrary instances from the design space of the font, rather than just relying on pre-specified instances, is there a benefit to designers. Which is all very well, but this kind of tech has been tried twice before: GX Variations (the basis of the new tech) from Apple, and Multiple Master from Adobe.

AVENGERS FONT ADOBE FONTS MOVIE
More Bank Gothic in use-it’s everywhere! (Avengers Endgame movie title in the film, for instance.) But this is our chance to make it massively more versatile and flexible, and available to everyone. This will be work for hire, and the resulting typeface will be open source, and licensed under the Open Font License. Aiming to have the font final in late November. Full-time availability preferred, although the first week or so may be a bit slower. Luckily the square-geometric design is well-suited to this treatment and makes for mostly easier editing.Īn initial demo-ready deadline will be the end of August. The typeface has 3 x 3 masters for weight/width, and then double that again for contrast (and again for italics, although that will be basically oblique and largely automated). I am looking for at least one more person (maybe two) to help work on it in FontLab VI currently it is me and one p/t person.
AVENGERS FONT ADOBE FONTS PLUS
It has weight, width and contrast axes, plus an oblique axis as well. The new Bank Science Gothic will have an extended Latin and Cyrillic character set (about 1200 glyphs). I have done a fair bit of prototyping, but there is lots of work ahead! And, given the timeline, too much work and not enough time for me to do it solo.įreelance Type Design - Open Source Bank Gothic, FontLab VI This will be a multi-axis Variable Font. UPDATE: We are calling it Science Gothic. Today I got back a signed contract, commissioning Font Detective LLC to do a new version of the classic American Type Founders’ typeface Bank Gothic (Morris Fuller Benton, 1930–34), for Google Fonts. I definitely have enough qualified people to consider! Anyone who expressed interest should have heard from me before 5 pm PST, August 6th, 2019.)
