Member lor… Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hi, viewing some Tiktoks about 3D-printing I came across someone who used the printer to write words with a pen. The font looks wonderful to me but making a screenshot and feeding various font-finders with the picture (and the perspectively correkted modification) unfortunately did not get me the name of the font. (sure, it was sometimes a close match*, but as one font gets that letter not bad, other letters are way of the goal....) I already asked in the comments of the video, but no response of the auther till now. Maybe you can help. Thanks a lot! *i.e. (imho): Ginza, Nesobrite, Design System C, Controller, Kardust, Orbitron, 946 Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Typical fonts (.ttf/.otf) are “outline fonts” with a mathematical description of a closed area which is then filled. What is shown in the picture is something completely different, as the system actually writes along a single path. So I don’t think you will find a matching outline font. Link to comment
Member lor… Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 thanks for your reply! that means we need to assume, that the paths of the pen were handmade - so we are looking for the font the creator was inspired by, right? (it feels like thats rather the case then he designed a new font from scratch). Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Have you tried simply asking the TikToker? Similar free font https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Orbitron Link to comment
Member lor… Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 yes, I wrote a comment + dm to the tiktoker in the first place. when he answers, I post it here. Orbitron was also on my list of similar fonts, but all fonts I mentioned have clear differences to the font (inspired font) used in the video. letters where differences are most noticeable are especially y, t, s, m (and to some other fonts: a, k, f) - see expamples below.
