- «lubmin»: christian bordeaux
The Lubmin typeface is a product of adaption of a standard character set (by VEB Typoart, Dresden) that was applied on roadname signs in the former Democratic Republic of Germany. It is, as far as documented, a production of early Prussian standard typefaces, which were also pattern for nowadays DIN font. The type went into action in many ways: Road signs, railway and military signals and also car plates; so almost anywhere a functional, easy reproduceable type was needed. The original letters were often different from road sign to road sign, because the signpainters had a variable elaborateness in painting the letters; some shapes are much more angular than others. So it had been a way of finding a compromise in this case. Also some points were interpreted in a new way, curves had been changed a little bit to accord readability aspects; but all in all, the Lubmin type is as original as in the time of the ÇIron CurtainÈ Lubmin, until now, comes in one cut (otf), just because I didnÕt find any thin, regular or oblique version of this type. Maybe I work it out as a little family in the future. The font meanwhile contents two versions of the German ÇEszetÈ: the older, Çberlin-alikeÈ and the more modern style. Due to itÕs eastern history, it also adheres peculiar east-european accents. In uppercases and big sized letters, e.g. on posters, Lubmin shows its strong and kind of a brutal character.
- «ligatura_regular»: matthias gehri
ligatura light eine schrift die grundsätzlich für den deutschen sprachgebrauch entwickelt wurde. die schrift besteht zusätzlich zu den 26 traditionellen buchstaben aus mehr als zwanzig speziellen ligaturen, welche bei bestimmten buchstaben-kombinationen anwendung finden. das ziel dieser schrift ist es, die deutsche sprache schriftlich da zu vereinfachen, wo buchstabenpaare neue laute bilden die schrift ist eine reine minuskelschrift, um auch so das lesen und schreiben zu vereinfachen. die buchstaben wurden nach strengen regeln gestaltet. ein sehr wichtiger grundsatz bestand darin, so oft wie möglich die selben formen, also die selben winkel, abstände, serifen und strichdicken zu verwenden. diese schrift besteht als multiple-master-font das heisst, die strichdicke kann stufenlos gewählt werden.
- «ligatura_expert»: matthias gehri
die ligatura-expert ergänzt die ligatura-family durch unendlich viele mehr oder weniger sinnvolle ligaturen, die durch hilfe der multiple-master-technik in der strichstärke verändert werden können.
- «Laxton Common»: jerome rigaud
A typographic revival coming from a 1635 map of Laxton, in the Nottinghamshire.

- «Futura_Domus»: jerome rigaud
Futura Domus is the first of a series of experiments launched by Electronest investigating creative coding to produce typefaces. Futura Domus simplifiée is based on the degradation of shapes: straightening vectors and removing points. Futura Domus combinée associates degraded with original glyphs forms. The original work has been published as a contribution to Domus Magazine in september 2008. * A couple of reflection around geometric simplifications and legibility * Fontnest Download available.
