77 Downloads77%20Downloads77110 Glyphs110%20Glyphs110Font Airport is an interpretation of the information displays found in, well, airports and by maintaining a set matrix, a few oddities emerge.
The lower case is a negative of the UPPER CASE to allow you to combine the full matrix – and as the letters are built out of multiple bricks in FontStruct, you'll need to use a few extra spaces to separate words – or insert '>' to make it exact – as I've offset the left margin to force a 1 unit letter space.

Here's a sample in action.

97 Downloads97%20Downloads9710 Comments10%20Comments10206 Glyphs206%20Glyphs206I've added a side shadow to Prometheus. The inspiration was a typeface from the French type foundry Peignot. Identified as "No. 1229" in their Lettres Fantaises of 1896, it sports a very fine side shadow, which I've attempted to re-create here. (I found the "No. 1229" sample on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' blog - fifth image from the top.)

This FontStruction is split in two to make downloading possible. The Basic Set (this half) features all of the Basic Latin and More Latin characters, while the Extended Set has all of the Extended Latin A and several Extended Latin B characters (Latin-based diacritics for the Central European, West European, Baltic, and Romanian languages, plus special characters for Croatian, Slovenian, and Livonian, among others).I%27ve%20added%20a%20side%20shadow%20to%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F80235%22%3EPrometheus%3C%2Fa%3E.%20The%20inspiration%20was%20a%20typeface%20from%20the%20French%20type%20foundry%20Peignot.%20Identified%20as%20%22No.%201229%22%20in%20their%20%3Cem%3ELettres%20Fantaises%3C%2Fem%3E%20of%201896%2C%20it%20sports%20a%20very%20fine%20side%20shadow%2C%20which%20I%27ve%20attempted%20to%20re-create%20here.%20%28I%20found%20the%20%22No.%201229%22%20sample%20on%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.typography.com%2Fask%2FshowBlog.php%3FblogID%3D34%22%3EHoefler%20%26%20Frere-Jones%27%20blog%3C%2Fa%3E%20-%20fifth%20image%20from%20the%20top.%29%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AThis%20FontStruction%20is%20split%20in%20two%20to%20make%20downloading%20possible.%20The%20Basic%20Set%20%28this%20half%29%20features%20all%20of%20the%20Basic%20Latin%20and%20More%20Latin%20characters%2C%20while%20the%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F104169%22%3EExtended%20Set%3C%2Fa%3E%20has%20all%20of%20the%20Extended%20Latin%20A%20and%20several%20Extended%20Latin%20B%20characters%20%28Latin-based%20diacritics%20for%20the%20Central%20European%2C%20West%20European%2C%20Baltic%2C%20and%20Romanian%20languages%2C%20plus%20special%20characters%20for%20Croatian%2C%20Slovenian%2C%20and%20Livonian%2C%20among%20others%29.

35 Downloads35%20Downloads357 Comments7%20Comments742 Glyphs42%20Glyphs42Mr. Crouwel strikes again...in spirit.   It took a while to build this one. The issue was not getting the letters done—they are rather simplistic after all—it was more to do with getting the preview windows to display the letters correctly. I tried lots of different filter settings. The slim break lines only previewed properly at 1.5 scaled bricks or below but they were too thick at that point. 1.8 brick scaling gave the desired result but left the preview a mess. Catch-22 is such a nightmare for perfectionists. In the end, I chose the correctness of glyphs over preview. Hence, the imperative letter A. However, I did take liberties with certain glyphs (j/1/4/7), added certain other glyphs (./,/!/?), and poked pinholes in the numerals to distinguish 5 from s, 2 from z.Find the corresponding uppercase here.Mr.%20Crouwel%20strikes%20again...in%20spirit.%3Cbr%3E%26nbsp%3B%26nbsp%3B%26nbsp%3BIt%20took%20a%20while%20to%20build%20this%20one.%20The%20issue%20was%20not%20getting%20the%20letters%20done%26mdash%3Bthey%20are%20rather%20simplistic%20after%20all%26mdash%3Bit%20was%20more%20to%20do%20with%20getting%20the%20preview%20windows%20to%20display%20the%20letters%20correctly.%20I%20tried%20lots%20of%20different%20filter%20settings.%20The%20slim%20break%20lines%20only%20previewed%20properly%20at%201.5%20scaled%20bricks%20or%20below%20but%20they%20were%20too%20thick%20at%20that%20point.%201.8%20brick%20scaling%20gave%20the%20desired%20result%20but%20left%20the%20preview%20a%20mess.%20%3Ci%3ECatch-22%20is%20such%20a%20nightmare%20for%20perfectionists.%3C%2Fi%3E%20In%20the%20end%2C%20I%20chose%20the%20correctness%20of%20glyphs%20over%20preview.%20Hence%2C%20the%20imperative%20letter%20A.%20However%2C%20I%20did%20take%20liberties%20with%20certain%20glyphs%20%28j%2F1%2F4%2F7%29%2C%20added%20certain%20other%20glyphs%20%28.%2F%2C%2F%21%2F%3F%29%2C%20and%20poked%20pinholes%20in%20the%20numerals%20to%20distinguish%205%20from%20s%2C%202%20from%20z.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EFind%20the%20corresponding%20uppercase%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F120316%22%3Ehere%3C%2Fa%3E.
