Looking for old school style fonts like this if anyone has any suggestions!

I can't find the font that has the math symbols like sigma, integral, or even fractions. How does google docs make an equations, and what fonts does it use. Whenever I try pasting an equation from google docs to another file or text box (like word or into chatgpt) it just destroys the format and pastes all the text in a single line (not even in a LaTex form)

I'm working on updating a typeface that we created ... I always struggle with decision making when it comes to hand drawn fonts.

It's supposed to be rough and approachable, and therefore there are certainly some weird quirks. I think that's part of the charm; however, where do you draw the line between "charming" and "typographically wrong" ?

Open to any thoughts or suggestions – more images/info on the process of the font HERE

I am being asked to contact Professional Designers, and the subject is typography.

This assignment is out of place even though most of the known Designers are not going to take their time to answer me.

I would like to leave the questions here, so as not to take your time in Chat, send them to my DM answered or leave a comment right here, these are the questions:

• *How long have you been involved in Design* : R

• *Do you dedicate a lot to Topography?* : R

• *What concepts in terms of graphic approach should I take to create a Typography?* : R

• *About how many typographies have you created or studied and applied* : R

• *How do you think typography can change in the future through creative processes* : R

• *What should I take into practice to make an innovation in the world of typography?* : R

• *A tip when using typefaces in general?* : R

• *How do I make my typography catch someone's attention?* : R

• *As a designer, what do you think about the current use of typography?* : R

Note: You can send me your social media or where you work to DM to assign you as my interviewed designer ;)

Hi all, just starting out here. Would appreciate any feedback. I took the 'observation deck' lettering (see second image) into Glyphs and played around a bit ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I recently bought the font Tortilla and I had a choice of getting it from myfonts.com or fontspring.com.

Here is the price from myfonts.com

And here is the price from fontspring.com

So, if I buy the web font on myfonts.com, I need to pay $25 ANNUALLY and the price goes up the more hits my website gets. If I buy it from fontspring.com, I buy it ONE TIME for $25.00. Same for Digital Ad. It's a one-time purchase. And my $25.00 purchase from fontspring INCLUDES an ebook license, where myfonts makes me renew annually based on the number of units sold.

Why such a massive disparity in pricing between these two sites?

If I am going to buy a font, I will only buy it from myfonts.com if it's not available anywhere else and if I can't find a reasonable substitute.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been quietly working on my own type foundry for the past few years, and I recently redesigned and relaunched the entire catalog over at typografische.com.

Most of the typefaces are rooted in modernist principles, and I’ve been trying to keep things intentional and consistent across editorial, branding, and digital use. This is my first time sharing it here — not trying to promote anything aggressively, just hoping it might resonate with some of you who appreciate thoughtful type design.

Would be happy to hear any feedback or thoughts from the community. Thanks for taking the time to look!

Hey! I’m working on a project about 1800s river culture, wondering if any one has type faces they could suggest from this era. I’ve been looking at advertising from this era as well. Thanks!

What would be a font that looks like text but is actually gibberish?

I know the convention is to pronounce it like "bans", but why? And can we do anything to lobby for pronouncing it like "cons"? It's such an American bastardization of a term, and I feel like a rube every time I say it.

Hi All, wondering what are some of the best places to find free fonts?

Appreciate your time and input!

Average Joe here, know nothing about typography and fonts (I do, though barely, know the difference between the two).
My question is mostly software side, so i don't know if it's the right place to ask.

Why do font families exist as separate types?? Why isn't there a standard that allows multiple variations within the same file? Software like MS Word limits customization to basic stuff like bold and italics, so multiple files are needed for condensed fonts and whatnot, but why not just switch to a more flexible standard that allows for more options? (on a per font basis, obviously not all fonts need all the possible variations)

feel free to give me a computer science or a history lesson with your answer if necessary

Hello everyone I'm wondering what words should I break into the second line? Like for example "This is a sentence for replying a proper email." If I would break it into two lines, the "for" will go to the second line based on what I learned from a copywriter in my agency, and also words like "and, the, is, with...". While doing this I also need to bear in mind that the visual needs to look good as well.

My question is what are the words that need to break to the second line other than what I mentioned above? What rules does it based on?

Okay so I’m learning Glyphs 3, and this is the 2nd type I’m attempting to create a type. This is not made from scratch, I’m taking a logo which has a few of this letters and made it into a complete type

The thing is, I have “constrained” myself to use this serif only in the lower parts of the letters, as a base (it has its meaning as part of a bigger project it belongs to). I do think I made it work but what do you think?? Any critique is completely welcome, be harsh if needed, I want to learn as much as possible

For example, the last letters (v to z) I found them difficult to work with because of their slants. This is a type with straight lines and as i was forced to incline them, I find them the more controversial. I looked for references but didn’t see a lot making the x or the w with vertical strokes

Hi everyone!

I would like to share "Metrogard". This font is a dynamic display font that is heavily inspired/ referenced to the logo of the video game called "Marvel Rivals". (To those PC gamers out there, I know you know this game hehe)

With this font, I really really tried emulating the original feel of the logo, especially how the letters interact with each other. And upon tons of trials on how could I make it interact with the letters, while still functioning as a font, this is what I came up with.

The uppercases (and numbers) greatly tower over he lowercases. The uppercase ascenders and descenders are way above and below the lowercases to emulate that "dynamic/ interactive feel" on the original logo.

If you are insterested in this font, you can check out the whole project here! Metrogard

I do hope you guys will like it. hehe

Any fonts or foundries with nice serifs similar to playfair, baskerville, century etc.?

I've recently started to work with clients that need simple portfolio-style websites. Those are usually folks who do not have a budget for professional fonts that cost money. While looking for free or low cost solid alternatives, I've found the PixelSurplus font bundles. The thing is, that while layouting and visuals are my strong side, I am still struggling with typography (especially since for a long time I've worked in an environment where projects had defined branding and fonts were not something I needed to choose). Typography people: are those PixelSurplus good investment? I've seen deals like 29$ for 29 typerfaces but I am not sure if the quality of fonts sold there is actually good. Any additional hints about resources where one can find solid, professional typefaces that are open-source or low costs are hight appreciated!

Why would you use a crazy narrow font that's hard to read from a distance and abbreviate Parkway so that there's a weird amount of space between characters?
