Typography & fonts
- Departure Mono: a modern pixel font
It not often we get to have a nice looking modern pixel font. Designed by Helena Zhang. It has good international support and even old-style numerals!
It is on a SIL open font license "you can use them in books, posters, artwork, logos, and on websites, even make 3D objects with the outlines—no acknowledgement is required".
- PEPSI® Unveils a New Logo and Visual Identity, Marking the Iconic Brand's Next Era
Pictures at the end.
This Release is from March 2023 but we're starting to see product on the shelf with the new look. I'm not a fan. The lettermark seems less distinctive to me. Too thick. What do you all think?
- Can anyone identify this typeface?
Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask if anyone has any idea what this typeface is actually called? It says it's called "Growing", but I couldn't find it under that name... If anyone has a clue, or an idea of where I can search... I'll be thankful for anything you can provide. Have a nice day y'all!

Its not much, as its a variation on Iosevka, exclusively for programming, and I made it a while ago, but I wanted to see what the community thinks. (I tried including a picture with the post but it failed to upload for some reason)
I'd love to see more open source self-made fonts. Any criticisims on functionality, or recommended changes are welcome.
- Where do you go to find fonts?
I'm currently on the lookout for something quite specific:
- Old style serif
- Fairly heavy (not light at least)
- Low contrast
- Close to upright axis
I'm hoping those terms make sense, I'm not an expert :)
Where would you go for specific requirements like this? Most websites I find only have basic filters like serif/sans serif. Any suggestions for where to look, or maybe you know a nice font that fits what I listed above?
- Meet Microsoft Office’s new default font: Aptos (theverge.com)www.theverge.com Meet Microsoft Office’s new default font: Aptos
It’s the first change to the Office default font in more than 15 years.
> “Today we begin the final phase of this major change where Aptos will start appearing as the new default font across Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel for hundreds of millions of users,” explains Si Daniels, a principal program manager at Microsoft, in a design blog post today. “And, over the next few months it will roll out to be the default for all our customers.”“Today we begin the final phase of this major change where Aptos will start appearing as the new default font across Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel for hundreds of millions of users,” explains Si Daniels, a principal program manager at Microsoft, in a design blog post today. “And, over the next few months it will roll out to be the default for all our customers.”
I'm not sure I understand why they want to replace Calibri, but I guess a fresh typeface every now & then isn't a bad thing.
What do you all think of this Aptos?
- Shakespeare Serif - an experimental font based on the First Folioshkspr.mobi Shakespeare Serif - an experimental font based on the First Folio
Disclaimer! Work In Progress! See source code. I recently read this wonderful blog post about using 17th Century Dutch fonts on the web. And, because I'm an idiot, I decided to try and build something similar using Shakespeare's first folio as a template. Now, before setting off on a journey, it is ...
I've built a new font! Thoughts and feedback on my approach very welcome.
- Feedback on my pixelated font
Last year I made a new pixelated free typeface for my 2d game. It has Arabic, Persian, and a subset of Latin glyphs enough for English, German and Spanish texts. Inside the repo you'd find makefile to build the font and generate test outputs.
Since it was my first experience designing a typeface ever, I might have made mistakes not known to me. That's why I post this, hoping someone would point them out. Here is the repo

- Any good alternatives to DejaVu fonts?
For years I've been using DejaVu fonts, but in the last years I had the feeling that this project had been abandoned. And indeed it has.
Does anyone know of good open-source alternatives?
I've heard of GNU Unifont, which seems still alive, but it isn't the kind of font one would use for, say, slides or websites.
Liberation and Kurinto were interesting (though not au par with DejaVu, in my opinion), but seem to have been abandoned as well.
I'm tired of Google and personally am not interested in fonts commissioned by them.
