I put together a gallery of fonts from stuff I found online.

Stickman · 29-06-2005, 12:22

I think that's a great idea.

Will be cool if you can be arsed to keep it going, with regular updates.

Alexanda · 29-06-2005, 16:54

Yeah great idea, where do I send examples to?

Use slideshow pro as you could then batch them into classifications:

Blackletter
Legacy German text typefaces now used for display

Brush
Simulates the smooth strokes of a brush on paper

Calligraphic
Mimics the rhythm and movement of the hand

Casual
Informal, fun, and expressive

Chiseled
Reflecting the technique of chisel on stone

Contrast-High
Sharp contrast between thin and thick strokes

Contrast-Low
Uniform appearance throughout strokes, stems

Copperplate
From an English roundhand calligraphic tradition

Engraved
Reflects artifacts from chiseling or cutting

Geometric
Uses circles, squares for design foundation

Handtooled
Grooves and designs carved into the font's face

Handwritten
The easy, casual flow of cursive handwriting

Heavy/Bold
Thick stems and strokes for a dominant appearance

Initial Caps
Ideal for titling or for drop capitals

Inline
Lines in the interior of a letterform

Light/Thin
Thin stems and strokes for a light appearance

Mono
All of the font's characters have the same width

Narrow
For use when space is at a premium

Ornaments
Decorative ornaments or symbols to embellish

Outline
Outlines of letterforms with no interior fill

Picture
Drawings, ornaments, or symbols instead of letters

Script
Handwriting designs usually with connecting forms

Stencil
Gives the appearance of having been painted

Swashes
Flowing extensions that add grace and beauty

Wide/Expanded
Long, extended widths that command attention

Woodcut
Suggests the process of letters carved in wood blocks

That would be excellent. Different galleries.

Yeah really cool idea - I notice from the photo that you(?)'ve got the same guillotine as we have (from 1st Van Condensed photo). Now how sad is it noticing that...

oli · 30-06-2005, 17:13
