More sketches & progress on the fatty display Didon

2011-05-23T12:53:00.003+02:00

More sketches & progress on the fatty display Didone. I usually do lot of hand sketches this time - detailed or now so much - just to keep my eyes and hand trained and let the mistakes possibly happen - they are doors to creativity (I think I read this somewhere before).

FR Dagi

2011-05-17T10:24:00.002+02:00

After another months is has been locked up into the cupboard (second time) I started to re-draw parts of FR Dagi - a title Didone - and finally it seems to get the right feel I wanted.

Some in-progress example & ephemera below.

Some progress on the antiqua

2011-04-26T13:09:00.003+02:00

A few alt caps & ampersand plus revised cap forms both in text & title masters.

Első print teszt az antikvához...

2011-04-20T11:12:00.000+02:00

...Remek eredménnyel - a 32pt master jól néz ki, a 12 pt master nagyon jól üzemel folyószövegként.

Apróbb módosítsok szükségesek most, valamint a kurresns & kurzív formák tervezése.

Ötletelek - rengetget - kézi vázlatokban, anyagot gyűjtök, föleg Nicolas Jenson & Francesco Griffo érdekel - persze sajnos csak jobb-rosszabb nyomtatott másolatok állnak rendelkezésemre.

Igyekszem áttekinteni az ‘optical master’ kérdését is - jól halad a dolog.

Forgatom Bringhurst bibliáját is, most is, mint minden alkalommal, mást mond. Mint egy jó tanár. A maga hibáival együtt, persze :)

Antiqua Project

2011-04-11T13:21:00.002+02:00

A hétvégén határozott fejlődést sikerült elérni - már ami az alapvető vizuális megjelenést - szerifek, csatlakozások, ívek - illeti.

Sketches for no-name antiqua & sans

2011-04-05T22:11:00.000+02:00

Skiccek az antikvához - és sans-hoz.

Első pár lépés után jól szokott jönni egy nyomtatóteszt - mondjuk 120 pontos méretben - és egy alapos ötletelés szemmel & tollal, mint a legmegbízhatóbb eszközökkel.

2010-12-08T11:10:00.002+01:00

Next type family of my Foundry coming - no name yet, but cool sans lowercase with little details. Family will contain a sans and slab family with the same underlying structure. Slightly condensed this design will be.

Also I've learned something about the inner space relations in weights - FL tends to do bolder weights too tight (with 'Effects/Bold' action, 'Keep glyph dimensions' option on) - so let some extra air in and make your glyphs look fine & correct.

Sneak Peak

2010-12-08T11:08:00.000+01:00

Have you created some playful patterns and ornaments yet today?

We at the Foundry find it deliberating to creat a pattern font from time to time.

2010-10-04T10:49:00.001+02:00

FR Hopper is the biggest release of Faberfonts Foundry since its opening. The project started as a quest for cool and neutral thin sans capital forms and proportions more than a year ago. Till then lot of things have changed and have been added and the project have grown into a project as complex and prolonged as nothing else before here in the studio of Faberfonts.

FR Hopper is a sans based on geometric forms still having a friendly personality. It is inteneded for mid-lenght texts, captions, titles and almost any other occasinal use - posters, flyers and even for web sites.
FR Hopper comes in 7 weights, 12 styles with 836 glyphs - that means 10 032 glyphs ready to use for your projects - and many advanced OT-features such as small caps, discetionary ligatures, alternate characters, fractions, arrows, ornaments and more - in all styles. It supports Extended Latin-A and Latin-B character sets and more that 100 languages.

Italics are based on carefully slanted roman versions but come with many cursive characters drawn from the ground up. It gaves enought difference to the italics to
stand out successfully from the romans - or attract by their own charm.

All the styles are hand-kerned carefully.

As two of the styles - FR Hopper 430 and 431 - comes as free fonts, you can download and test these before deciding to buy any other styles.

Release Date of v.1.0: October 7. 2010.

Pre-Release (FR Hopper 430 and 431 of v.1.0): October 5. 2010.

Kis kísérletem/szórakozásom megélte az első hetet, így itt egy összefoglaló:

Megjelent/Published

2010-07-14T12:58:00.002+02:00

Back in February of 2009 Martin Dawber- author of several books on fashion, style and image - asked me if I would like to be published his next project on illustrational type projects. Sure I would.

Now the book is in my hands and will be published soon worldwide.

In the book there is many cool work of typo/graphic talents and names like Craig Ward and Nate Williams - it's crazy just to think of it but it is true.

Busy Weekend/Melós hétvége

2010-06-21T16:20:00.002+02:00

Alakul a Hopper, alakul. A hétvégén alaposan kibővítettem ismereteimet az OpenType lehetőségeiről (különös tekintettel a Fontlab által is kezelt részére) és a Multiply Master formátumról. Sikerült pár régi technikai jellegű kérdésre is választ találni. Ezekről igyekszem valamikor egy rövidebb összefoglalót írni, talán érdekelni fog mást is. Szóval okosodunk :)

Közben persze a konkrét feladatok is haladnak, mint az ogonekkel felszerelt karakterek a Hopper-ben. Mitől más az ogonek, mint a "sima" ékezet? Hát abban, hogy nem ékezet, a betűkép szerves része, "egyben" kell megrajzolni. Meg is történt. Sikeresen felépült a MM font is, sikerült kiküszöbölni a feleslegesen megjelenő pontokat a kontúrokon is.

Történt egy nyomtatóteszt is, sikeresen kiszúrtam még jópár korrigálnivaló részletet, de egyre apróbbakat, egyre kevesebbet - a hiányzó feature-ök is fel lettek listázva.

Lassan minden készen áll...

Playtime/Játsszunk!

2010-06-16T11:32:00.001+02:00

Ongoing geometric pattern font project.

Folyamatban lévő geometrikus sorminta - fontba zárva.

A Hoppert csiszolgatva...

2010-06-13T10:50:00.007+02:00

Gőzerővel dolgozok a Hopper befejezésén, nincs most más projekt, csak ez. Egyessével ellenőrzök minden egyes glifát a Black változatból, és Illustrator segítségével egyből a közbeeső súlyokat (Light, Normal és Bold) is. Ahol kell javítok, következetesen átverem a font karakterisztikáját, finomítok, és bizony betoldok réseket (ink traps), mivel a Black elkezdett durván bezáródni. Holnap lesz egy nagyobb nyomtatóteszt, kíváncsian várom az eredményeket.

Adtam még egy szettet az alapfonthoz, flekkekbe zárt kapitálisokkal és nyilakkal, amikből soha nem lehet elég, valamint tervezem a sorminta és egyéb infódizájnhoz használható elemeket tartalmazó kiegészítő fontot is - de csak haladjunk sorban.

Amint ez megvan - a formák véglegesítése - jön a Black oldaltávok beállítása, majd a kerningelés. Amint ez is megvan, jöhet a közbeeső verziók generálása és átfésülése karakterről-karakterre. Hogy a munkát gyorsítsam, valószínűleg beiktatok egy MM (Multiply Master) fontot, és abból generálom majd a verziókat - kérdés, hogy a Thin és a Black kerningját is extrapolálja-e? Még tanulmányozom.

Ha ezek megvannak, jöhetnek az Italic-ok. Nagy részük egyszerű döntött verzió lesz - persze okosan, a szélesség kb. 90%, a szárvastagságok a verzálhoz igazítva. A kapitálokat nem bántom, de az a, b, d, e, f, g, l, p, q, t módosulnak. Az a, g, l és t módosított változatai már most is bekapcsolható alternatív karakterként léteznek a betűben.

Tervbe van még véve egy Condensed verzió az így elkészült családból, de arról majd később. A Black verziónál már biztos az ismételt átrajzolás, mivel bezáródnak a most szépen megrajzolt rések.

Elég sokat sikerül tanulni mindeközben a bevett szokásokról - vagy épp a szokatlanokról - amiket a tervező és gyártók a fontoknál alkalmaznak. Érdekes, lényegtelennel tűnő 'apróságok' is górcső alá kerülnek - egy magasságban van-e pl. a divíz, a fél- és a kvirtminusz? Hogyan igazítsuk az ékezeteket? Mekkora az egészséges kitevő mérete? Hogyan alakítsunk slash-sel tagolt számsort törtté egy gombnyomásra - és a többi...

Tippelni nem szeretek, de ha minden jól halad, a család július elején a boltokba kerülhet - valószínűleg a MyFont, YouWorkForThem és a HypeForType oldalakon -, majd valamivel később, július végén a Condensed verzió is.

Meglátjuk :)

Weights Test

2010-06-10T18:14:00.003+02:00

Jön, már anniyra jön! :)

A Thin majdnem kész, a Black utolsó rostálása folyik, már annyira közel van a vége - hónapok kérdése :))))))

A tervek szerint 5 súly plusz italic és egy Condensed család is mellé...

Az annyi mint kb. 5*2*2*700=14 000 glifa és megannyi OT fincsiség.

Print tests

2010-05-04T10:19:00.001+02:00

I've tested Hopper Medium, Light and Bold with fabricated italics with a test text copied from Wikipedia (The Dark Side Of The Moon). Prints made with a laser desktop printer.

Texts were set in 8/11 and 6/9 points but because of the extra big x-height and huge counters the 8/11 still looks... big.

Anyway I liked spacing - used not optical spacing of InDesign but the build in one - worth the long hours.

Now it is time to kern... and build features. And draw a good italic for the weights... and... :)

Hopper comes soon.

2010-05-01T17:17:00.003+02:00

I'm working on a few project right now. Two more weight for the successful FR Unalom, kerning FR Hopper family, finishing the design of FR Dagi family and a cool upright italic serifed font (top secret for now :)) are on my to-do list right now.

And here is the new font, Tabula and Smaragdina also. Do you like it? Don't you? Let me know! Thanks!

Cheers!

Lettering for Esquire Russia

2010-04-21T16:49:00.001+02:00

This April the Russian edition of the magnifique Esquire magazine commissioned me to make custom letterings based Pontifex, a type-in-progress.

Creating Cyrrilic characters was a fun and and advanture at the same time. Deadline was tight but Esquire liked what they got.

Unfortunatelly, letterings gone unpublished but still - this was a great project.

Message to TKM

2010-04-21T13:38:00.003+02:00

Message to TKM - one of the greatest type artist, printer and typographer of Europe - and Hungary.

Some more on his life (in Hungarian): http://epika.web.elte.hu/szerk/totfalusi.html

"Born 1650 in Alsómisztótfalu; died March 20, 1702 in Kolozsvár. Printer, scholar, linguist, publisher. Name also written: Misztótfalusi Kis. Parents were poor. Studied in Alsómisztótfalu, Nagybánya about 1662, and Nagyenyed about 1666. Became rector of schools in Fogaras 1677-1680. Went to Holland in 1680 to master art of printing. Quickly established reputation in Amsterdam and elsewhere in Europe. Also did printing for the Pope. Was invited to establish shop in Florence but prepared to return to Transylvania. In 1689 published bibliophile edition of the Bible in Hungarian with corrections of translation and printing errors. Returned to Transylvania in 1690. Married Mária Székely. Harassed by religious conservatives who had found his corrections of the Bible offensive, he wrote Apologia Bibliorum (1697) to justify what he had done. Opposition did not lessen; in 1698 published Maga-mentsége, another reply to opponents. On June 13, 1698, Council of Nagyenyed insisted on public apologies to those offended by this reply, and his most important works were burned. He did not live long after this humiliation. ¶ His lifework represents a large program to develop and popularize Hungarian culture."

This weekend I had been busy working on it, polising and re-dreawing shapes, adding Ot features - case fractions, some encircled figures (two set), usual superscripts - and of course the small caps. In italic I placed many miscro-details and much more dancing curves. Enjoy, it was to craft.

Spacing was done, basic kerning also done - now testing and the additional candies what are planned to do.

After that I shall made some promotional material, a pretty small specimen and send it over all the distributors.

Soon. Quite soon.

FR Irisz Preview

2009-12-12T23:12:00.003+01:00

Was a good day, this Saturday - lot of work, big achievement etc :)

Seriously, FR Irisz, my little and first didone typeface develops into something nice. Look what I have in it now - capitals, re-drawn and re-re-drawn lowercase, numerals, all the ususal foreign characters and some analfabetics.

What to do next? Spacing, adding accents, do kernings (um...) and some extra dingbats - then the new... But wait - it is still secret.

Check back and see for yourself how this little didone develops.

Have a good night now.

Those capitals

2009-10-06T10:55:00.004+02:00

I've just started looking at capitals recently - namely Trajan by Carol Twombly and slowly felt in love with it. Not with Trajan especially, but the details and proportions. Sketching started and work is on. Look back what it will lead to...
