Cosmic, a face that melts

A poster face whose strokes swell from hairline to heavy without a weight axis, drawn out to 12,201 characters across six scripts — and no use at all in a paragraph.

Quill, drawn with a brush

A brush face of 634 characters that sets every language written in Latin, Greek or Cyrillic, spaced at a tracking multiplier of 0.78 — and has no light weight, because it cannot have one.

Relief, a slab thrown right

A slab with the block extruded to the right, so every letter reads as an object with depth — and the one tracing setting that keeps its white sides from dissolving into the page.

Letters that look poured rather than drawn, with a highlight down every stroke — and the pixel-and-a-half channel under the capital B that decided how the face had to be traced.

Star, a point cut into every letter

A hand-drawn display face with pinched stems, needle-point serifs and a four-pointed star cut out of almost every letter. One weight, 105 characters, English only.

Bubble, inflated from the inside

A display face whose contours are pushed outward until the shapes press together, with exactly one gloss punched out of every letter. One weight, 105 characters, English.

Fire, every stroke a flame

Every stroke rises from a narrow foot, swells, and tapers to a lick that curls upward. 105 characters, one weight, English only, and a flame direction that cannot be turned.

Drip, a sans that is still wet

A plain heavy sans with the paint still running off the bottom of every letter. The runs hang below the baseline, so the face needs vertical room a normal sans does not.
