Advent of Type 2025

Day 18 of Advent of Type, i can smell the mince pies. And the rain.

Most-recent first we have:

18. Shingle - Using one of the 8×8 desktop patterns from the Mac Classic to add a shingle texture to the Commodore 64 ROM font. See also 10PRINT from Day 10.

17. Keycard - somewhat obscure polygonal font that makes abstract shapes.

16. Tracks - a 3-line striped font that makes tracks.

15. Hermes Ring - Replacing the serifs of Courier Prime with rings.

12. Agon - a cryptic font made from a hexagon shape.

11. "Bob" Matrix Mono - The face of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs is lifted out of the Atari ST ROM font and replicated as a dot (or pixel) in a font that emulates the output of the Epson FX-80 9-pin dot matrix printer. Slack!

10. 10PRINT - The Commodore 64 font rendered by replacing pixels with a random selection of the 2 diagonal line characters used in the construction of the 10PRINT maze.

9. Peter - Previously known as PJW, but not really officially released; Peter uses Peter J. Weinberger’s face as the pixel in Pellucida from Plan 9. Enjoy your monospaced pixel font with a 1990s vibe.

8. Asmol - a font created on a strict 10 point grid; the sometimes slightly weird shapes are because there are not many choices for the node placement!

5. Andily - a digitisation of Lydian (Chappell) from the awful scan that the US Patent Office has. A to Z only with basic punctuation.

4. Dorothy Norma small-caps - a completely new set of small-caps for Dorothy Norma, a dot matrix version of German technical drawing lettering.

3. Aromech - A hand-drawn font of Roman Rustic Capitals.

2. GoGoGo - A hype-cycle numbers-only font.

1. Snowmouse - a copy of Papirtis Pink Mouse with added snow.

Advent of Type 2025 is a an hoc production from CubicType.
