Font Specimen – Acht Serif
BA Design Warm-Up – Foundation Course
2022
semester
Acht is the first Serif font I designed. It has the same skeleton as the font Joanna, part of the Eric Gill Series. It has an elegant, clean, humanistic style: unbracketed serifes, with blunt endings and a straight baseline. Acht can be used according to different situations and concepts, but could be mainly used for magazines and literature texts. The digital version of my font I designed with Adobe Illustrator and with the Adobe Illustrator plugin FontSelf, I did the kerning and generated the Open Typefont file (OTF). To present my fonts appropriately, I finally created a Typeface Specimen for both fonts.
