ABOUT







J. Mach Wust

Switzerland-based designer of these fonts:

  • The free font Unicook (2010, OFL; possibly renamed UnifrakturCook). He writes: Unicook is based on Peter Wiegel's OFL font Koch Fraktur which is in turn based on Rudolf Koch's Fette Deutsche Schrift (1908-1910). Unlike Wiegel's font, this font is Unicode-compliant.
  • Unifraktur Maguntia (2010). This is based on Peter Wiegel's free font Berthold Mainzer Fraktur which is in turn based on a 1901 typeface by Carl Albert Fahrenwaldt. Latest update of Unifraktur in 2017.
  • Entiumgay (2010) is based on J. Victor Gaultney's Gentium font. It uses Apple Advanced Typography for scrumbling normal text into Pig Latin. It features various dialects of Pig Latin, including Bernese Meadow English (Mattenänglisch).
  • Wust is involved in the Free Tengwar Project: The Free Tengwar Font Project aims at developing a family of general purpose fonts that cover J. R. R. Tolkien's tengwar script and that are compatible with the Unicode standard. [...] Johan Winge's Tengwar Telcontar font already existed previous to this project. Indeed, it has been an important inspiration, aiming at Unicode compatibility in a tengwar font. Johan's joining in has been a giant leap for the Free Tengwar Font Project.
