![]() One of my favorites when it comes to script fonts and I decided to include it here since it’s rather untypical one among them. I think it’s delicate strokes combined with original glyphs makes it really beautiful. It is quite ‘hipsterish’ but its really great font that I don’t use often but has a place in my designer heart for sure.Ī decorative font with rather unique glyph shapes which I really appreaciate. Quite similar to High Tide (simply more abstract). I definitely recommend to look on other fonts from this foundry since all of them are quite unique □ Unusable for longer text but looks great as headlines. Rather unusual font, definitely can be used only as decorative font but because of unusual monosized glyphs shapes it always makes a strong impression. Link on the picture will take you to Exo 2 download site, where you can also download older version. Even though Exo 2 is supposed to be improved (and on many levels is) I still often use original Exo, dependable on which fits better. I designed a lot of posters and other materials for technical university students who always appreaciated its’ look. I recommend both versions, since they have bit different feel to them. Definitely worth checking out (Even if it’s kind of cult font already □ ) Simple yet beautifully designed upper case font with greatly shaped glyphs. It might be considered kind of ‘hipster’ type, but I think that properly used it can really turn even simple design around. It’s really well designed type face, only thing that causes me bit more work with it is lack of polish letters, but I usually just add them when needed.īeutiful font, unusual and not so easy to use but can give amazing effect to your work. ![]() and it really gives great engineering touch to the final look. Very good font with awesome technic feel to it. Definitely some of them are quite popular and you probably run into them all the time but I tried to include bit less usual too. Probably I will make more than one of such rankings but we will see in the future □ I decided to usually show rankings for free fonts, since they are available for everyone. So first one I want to tackle is my personal picks for favorite and most used fonts from my directory. I decided to make my saturday posts less project and more general design oriented subjects. For sake of design quality I narrowed the number of used Qs to 35.ĭo you love Qs as much as I do? Or maybe you think the ampersand should be the center of our attention? Or you have another beloved glyph you think that deserves to steal the ampersand’s thunder? Please share your thoughts on that topic with me!Īccent, Alsacia, Anders, Aqua Grotesque, Avanth, Avillar, Bank Holiday, Bauhaus, Bebas, Blake, Boogie Nights, Bpscript, Brandon Grotesque, Brentford, Caslon, Chitown, Eiffel Falls, Elf tale, EtarnigSc, Eveleth, Garamond, Geotica, Gill Sans, Kelmscott, Lucida Blackletter, Modern No20, Neptonian, New Central, Niewe, Nueva, OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, Pegazi, Rodeo Drive, Sequi, Shockwave, Symbolia, Trajan, Valentina, Viking ship, ZnikomitNo24 When I started to prepare my favorite Qs for this post I realized that actually I could create something more interesting and create myself a poster with them instead . Most of Slavic languages do not use it in a daily use which makes that letter less popular in area of Center and Eastern Europe. ![]() Many modern languages do not include Q in their letterset – one of those languages is my native Polish, which is a shame. ![]() One of the first successful fonts based on it is Trajan, which by now is the standard on Windows PCs. The Q letter can be found on Trajan Inscription – the tablet which was a mother to the modern fonts based on Ancient Roman stone-carved letters, which makes it the integral part of the basic latin alphabet. I decided to do a lineup of my favorite Qs and share them with you.įirst, a bit of history. So this is what I look for in my Qs – integrity of the glyph. The best designs in my opinion make the Q look like a complete glyph and not an O with “add-on”. The shape of this letter is really beautiful, the way it perfectly adds an additional element (the tail) to the otherwise perfect shape (circle). Whereas I do get the love for ampersand, its’ shapes and curves (usually ) I am in fact a capital Q fan. I saw lately couple of collections of ampersands which seem to rock the designer’s world. ![]()
