Member hra… Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform I'm looking for fonts that have a /u sort of like this: Sans is OK too. hhp Link to comment

Member hra… Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Ah, yes! Any others? hhp Link to comment
Member dav… Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 This is from an unfinished one of mine I might get round to some day! Link to comment
Member hra… Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Cool. 1) What made you make that shape? 2) Does it have an italic? hhp Link to comment
Member dav… Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 1) I thought I'd try to do a text face influenced by the marks you might get with a fat marker pen. I never actually used a marker pen so it's kind of an imagined result. All the rounds from stems (b, d, p, q, r, m, n, a) have the same straight bit going to a curve. 2) It barely has a roman, but it will have an italic at some point. I've got a new script font almost done then I might make this the next one I get round to, so it'll probably be in the critique section soon. That e needs some work! Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 How abrupt the diagonal/curve transition should be? Aldus Roman sports something similar, but more ink-trap than blackletter (italic is all curves, though). Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 This one has a similar construction on U too: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/protimient/pasquinade/ Link to comment
Member hra… Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I like that "e" actually (just make the eye larger). Pasquinade: Nice. hhp Link to comment
Member Té… Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Omnibus Type's Chivo and Rosario have a 'u' resembling this if a lot more rounded. I think Vollkorn is in that ballpark as well. Link to comment
Member hra… Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'm not seeing that form in any of those at all. hhp Link to comment
Member Té… Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not the exact form, but I'm sure you noted that the tail on Chivo's 'u' looks quite like the bottom curve. That's the similarity I saw, oh, and the raised tail in the others. ATM I recall none near that harsh form you drew. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Reynir, I think what Hrant is looking for is the peculiar shape of the bottom left, where the curve joins the diagonal. (as an irrelevant bit of info, I fiddled with the same concept on a number of experimentations in fontstruction) Link to comment
Member Té… Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 And that is the shape I do not recall seeing elsewhere, but there is another characteristic there: Tail resembling bottom curve. Link to comment
