"Zastava" was my first font to be given a Top Pick, a not-so-subtle take on the Art Deco classic "Bifur." The naming convention for fonts at that time was translating random words into other languages and finding the "coolest" sounding one. "Zastava" being a&nbsp;Serbo-Croation/Slovene word for "flag/banner." This reinvention borrows from the old trend using another vexillology term, referring to the swallow tail design of the "K" and "M" among others. Please enjoy~</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=69de869a&id=1460267&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/><p>Hard to believe that 10 years have passed since joining Fontstruct. The&nbsp;years have truly flown by and typography went from an unknown, to a delightful hobby. Many many thanks to those who helped me learn and grow on this platform, it's been such a fun adventure with such a positive impact. To celebrate, may I present "magenta"&nbsp;an&nbsp;art deco font for any&nbsp;typing needs. Please enjoy</p>

<p>This also marks a little turning point. The name "time.peace" was&nbsp;chosen at random and was honestly something I’d&nbsp;never been thrilled with. After much thinking, a new moniker is being adopted: "tortoiseshell."</p>

<p>"tortoiseshell" pulls from the tortoiseshell butterfly. Butterflys are seen&nbsp;as both symbols of time and of peace, making it a simple homage to the old title. There is another connection to tortoiseshell glasses, a style popularized in the 1920's, an era that has been incredibly riveting with its Art Deco movement. Lastly, there is a genus of the tortoiseshell butterfly native to my home.</p>

<p>"tortoiseshell typography" looks build upon old ideas while also growing and evolving into the future.</p>

<p>Cheers to the&nbsp;next decade and the new chapter~</p>]]></description>

A bit of unfamiliar territory, but it sure is an elegant style. This font&nbsp;builds on the&nbsp;ideas of&nbsp;"peach" and "just peachy,"&nbsp;making this amalgamation, a potion of sorts.
