ABOUT







Jens Kutilek

Jens Kutilek studied Communication Design in Braunschweig. After graduating he founded the web design agency Netzallee. He works at the font technology department at the Berlin office of FSI (FontShop International) since 2007. Jens Kutilek had a small typology page proving that Arial is not Helvetica, Courier is not Courier New, and Times-Roman is not Times-New Roman. That page disappeared. His typefaces:

  • Azuro (2011). Designed by Georg Seifert and fine-tuned by Jens Kutilek, and published by FontShop.
  • Bulette Bold (2008). A fat octagonal / mechanical design.
  • The free font Comic Jens (2007-2009), a free alternative to Comic Sans: see here. See also the update Comic Jens UI (2014).
  • Conta: A coding font. Monospaced and proportional variants, italics.
  • The sturdy 6-style typeface family FF Hertz (2015) that was influenced by German cartographic alphabets.
  • FF Uberhand. An 11 style marker pen font family---casual and informal---that could serve as a replacement and improvement of Comic Sans.
  • Grotesk 812: A condensed grotesque typeface.
  • Helvers (2011). A blend of Univers and Helvetica.
  • Homecomputer (2019). Two-axis variable interpretations of monospaced pixel fonts for the Commodore 64 and Amiga home computer systems from the 1980s, with adjustable effects to simulate artifacts of old CRT displays. Github link for the open source fonts. Particular fonts include Workbench and Sixtyfour.
  • Malerblock: A signpainter's typeface.
  • Mergenthaler Antiqua (2012). A digitization of a forgotten typeface by Hermann Zapf.
  • Pathos: A monumental sans-serif with classical proportions.
  • Selectric Century: A digitization of the Century typeface from IBM's Selectric Composer.
  • Soccer Sans: A constructivist sans with extra low legibility. Ideal for soccer kits.
  • Stecker: A typeface made of round elements.
  • Sudo (2009-2013). A programming font family developed from Experimental 710.
  • Topography: A version of the classic German cartography typeface.

Github page with many of his unfnished typefaces. Github page with free programming and system fonts such as Arimo, Clear, Cousine, Droid, Fira, Material Icons, Noto, Open, Roboto, Source, Special Elite, Tinos, and WinJS Symbols.
