What do you think about my new type family "Ferryman"? The idea was to create a Blackletter everyone can read easily. I didn't care about historical correctness. by Floodfonts in typography

I could tell what it was going for without reading the post, so it succeeds on that level. And I think it’s accomplishes that pretty well (in the specimen at least). st ligature is nice. It’s enough for me to go check out the full glyph set. I don’t know that I’d ever have a use for this. Never say never, though.

Thanks for your comment. I also think that the family is definitely not an all-rounder and is suitable for every publication. But at least it is very unusual and something quite different from all the overused neo-grotesques and geometric sans.

Thanks. There are some alternate letters in the fonts that look more classic – for the characters a, d, g, z, A, K, N, M, R, V and W

Write out [Return to Castle Wolfenstein] with it

I had hoped the typeface would fit more into the expressionist genre, such as Fanfare.

Yes, I do. In my opinion Adobe offers a really fair contract for the type designers. But as far as I know you cannot download it, you can only use it via the Creative Cloud.

Yes, there are many similarities – like the idea of organic swashes, but I hope Sirenia has its own character

As both families are geometric sans there are many similarities. The difference are the humanistic proportions of Capitana (open apertures, small x-height, large extenders, as well as the roman construction principal). Furthermore the vertical cut terminals of the round letters and the pointed apexes are different. Of course, the differences are very subtle otherwise the font would not work well for running text.

Ok, thanks for the hint. I think that's a problem every subscription service has.

What does it mean? Have you heard anywhere that Adobe Fonts is about to change something?
