“Miami Modular” by escaphandro

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 15:08:44 +0000

Inspired by a retro-futuristic alphabet reference I found and lost years ago. Most of latin diacritics available.

“Wim v2” by escaphandro

Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:26:59 +0000

Improved version of Wim Gestreept, I reworked proportions and character balance.

“Pixel Spaceships” by escaphandro

Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:48:45 +0000

My attempt to cross three of my passions: pixel art, shoot'em up games and typography. What started as a full original design also became a homage to classic games with 103 characters. Upper and lowercase are layers (see display below) and other characters are different kinds of game sprites. Best used with no anti-alias at 60pt size.

“Тетрис 1984” by escaphandro

Mon, 03 Nov 2014 16:43:54 +0000

This is a homage to Тетрис aka Tetris, released in 1984. Through studying the game I bumped into an emulated screen from the original game, featuring a very simple 10px font. My version is a faux-cyrillic intended for display purposes.Use the | (vertical line) character to build the tetrominoe blocks. Eventually I challenged myself to go further and develop the whole cyrillic alphabet (my first!) which is available along with a basic latin set of characters.

“Pony” by escaphandro

Wed, 10 Sep 2014 19:11:59 +0000

This one has been cooking for a while, it's one of my oldest designs, based on an old Deftones logo. I have finally managed to update it and found a proper way to work with the diagonals. Basic latin support and a few alternate letters.

**UPDATE 2024:

I have just released a commercial improved version of this font so reach out to escaphandro.net for downloads.

“Wim Gestreept” by escaphandro

Sun, 31 Aug 2014 15:10:31 +0000

Inspired bt the works of great Wim Crouwel and striped sports jerseys. Also a study in 45 degrees diagonals, happily provided by fontstructor and master Goatmeal. Basic latin support and a few ligatures. **UPDATE 19.11.2014 I worked out a few unbalanced characters and added ligatures. Hope you like it!

**UPDATE 2016: please check the new version under the name of Wim V2.

“Chippanze Dot Matrix” by escaphandro

Sun, 24 Aug 2014 18:49:28 +0000

An extension of the Chippanze font, now turning into a family itself. This one emulates low resolution displays similar to first generation videogames and old LED signage.

“SP011” by escaphandro

Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:33:55 +0000

Inspired by my own city peculiar graffitti. Full latin support. ** 27/08/2014 update. Included full latin support for this one.

“Platypus” by escaphandro

Thu, 12 Jun 2014 00:13:00 +0000

This was my first type design ever (dating back to 2002). I reviewed it completely so it could be more consistent and work within a modular mindset. It also has a wider character set (full latin support). Inspiration comes from old logos from toy companies and candy manufacturers.

“Geo Libre” by escaphandro

Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:04:53 +0000

This is my first fontstruction. An attempt to convey something based on building toy blocks, modernism and wood stamping. Full latin set. Soon to be released as a stamp set of its own.

“Chippanze” by escaphandro

Mon, 02 Jun 2014 20:28:28 +0000

Original pixel typeface design for the brazilian chip music collective/label Chippanze logo, now turned into a full font, basic latin support granted. Feel free to use it and spread the music!

“Illusion” by escaphandro

Thu, 15 May 2014 00:06:14 +0000

Based on the works of visual artist Martijn Sandberg. Very basic latin support.

“KAMADA” by escaphandro

Wed, 14 May 2014 17:37:23 +0000

A very simple approach to create a layer font. To use it just overlay upper and lowercase to create layer effects. Watch out for the accents, they also layered. Basic latin support.

“De Lorean” by escaphandro

Tue, 13 May 2014 15:11:19 +0000

A homage to the Delorean Motor Company logo, a bit tricky grid to work with. Basic Latin support.

“De Stijl” by escaphandro

Fri, 25 Apr 2014 20:49:37 +0000

A pixel font inspired by the De Stijl artistic movement of the early 20th century in the Netherlands. The graphic works and experiments of artists Theo Van Doesburg and Vilmos Huszar were a huge influence.

“Pony PX” by escaphandro

Thu, 24 Apr 2014 21:23:19 +0000

Based on an old design I had, I tried to keep the spirit of the original, though simplifying shapes until I had a pixel font. It has a simple but effective latin set and a few alternates in the form of upper/lowercase.

Thu, 24 Apr 2014 00:03:01 +0000

Inspired by sound graphic interfaces and speakers. Full latin support
