FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Nick Edward Matavka Creator of the classic Germanic blackletter hand simply called Blackletter Hand (2014). It has elements of Suetterlin. Creator of Cyanotype (2014) and EngineerHand (2014), both engineering or architect draftsman scripts. In 2014, he created an irregular handwriting font, Saucy Jack, and wrote: A true Victorian handwriting font. Don't use the Jane Austen font to emulate Victorian or later handwriting; by the Victorian era, the pen had been invented and people no longer used quills like Miss Austen did. This was very obviously written with an actual pen rather than with a dipper, quill or biro; it comes from a letter purportedly written by the famous Englishman, Mr John D. Rypper. It is suited to any period ranging from the invention of the pen (1830) to the popularity of the biro (1965). Ron's Font (2014, in a style not unlike hat of Jack Kerouac or Hunter Thompson) and Nick's Font (2014) emulate irregular handwriting as well. Station (2014) is an all-caps sans typeface based on the font used in Toronto's subway stations. DN Titling (2014) is an ultra-compressed font based on the titling used in the pop-psychology textbook Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. He designed the following Greek / Coptic fonts in 2014: Antonios-B, Antonios-D, Athanasius-B, Athanasius-D, Copt-A, Copt-B, Copt-D, Coptic-A, Coptic-B, Mina-A, Mina-B, Shenouda-A, Shenouda-D. In 2015, he published Draughtsman, an internationally standardized typeface for Latin, Greek and Curillic for labelling architectural and engineering blueprints, as found in the GOST standard 2.304-81.
