Sukiyaki typefaceby *evelmiina

Download PNG 700 × 967
Still unfinished typeface as it doesn't have all glyphs, my second attempt at designing an entire typeface.

It's called "sukiyaki".

It’s slightly hiragana and art nouveau inspired grotesque typeface. Poster is made by me, of course.

I started from sketching with hand and then used brush and gouache to make calligraphic letters. It helped a lot in getting some guide for contrast (which is very low in this font) and proportions. Final work is made with FontLab Studio.

The /u is too wide and the ascenders are way too short for my taste. You have some inspirational letter designs in this typeface though. I really like the /a and the /k is quite tasteful.

Thank you, this has been a long-due project, but I'll check the u's next time I open it :)

An attractive font, and a charming poster as well.

Thank you so much! I haven't had time to work on this since I posted it, but I intend to do all characters (it's missing almost all capitals and marks) :)

I have absolutely *no* idea whatsoever about font design and such, but I'll just say this looks lovely.

This is a great typeface! The letter "k" is particularly amazing. I always enjoy when there is that one letter that really gives a font its personality.

I'm a graphic design student, but I've never tried making a typeface from scratch. It's a lot of work! I cannot wait to see the glyphs....they're one of my favorite parts of a font.

Now I want to go eat sukiyaki, it is indeed delicious. ;]

From the scratch it's difficult, but we've had practice in calligraphy, it helps when you know how to paint the strokes. [link] this is close to how I was taught to paint, from handpainted letters it's easier to start shaping the letters on computer (unless you do some geometric font from blocks) <: but indeed, making a decent font is a lot of work! It gets really crazy on the details :D

Pretty font. Small point versions might be pretty hard to read though.

Thank you :) It should be okay at 11-14 pt size as well, I'm hoping, but as I tried smaller ones then it's really difficult, so I agree. It's not really kind of a typeface suitable for column text, but for posters, flyers and any kind of display, it should look pretty neat in large size.
