# Random Typeface Assortment
**Random Typeface Assortment** is a collection of unfinished, experimental, and/or unpublished typefaces made by me. Most typefaces here are created during my time (self-)studying type design.
Despite most of the typefaces here being under SIL, I highly encourage **NOT distributing these fonts anywhere**. These are **EXPERIMENTAL FONTS**, _not production-ready, full-fledged, commercial fonts_. If you want to use them, *do it at your own precaution*.
## History
| Name & Creation date | Information |
| --- | --- |
| Grotesquerie (15/06/2021) | My very first typeface using FontForge! Also marks the proper beginning of my type design journey. Inspired by (or stolen from...) ABC Dinamo's [Ginto](https://abcdinamo.com/typefaces/ginto). |
| athels bold wip 2 (19/08/2021) | A failed revision of Grotesquerie. |
| Contemporarity (19/09/2021) | Inspired by Google's Product Sans, I tried to make my own version. Didn't work out too well, and I really tried to turn it into a product, even though I still have little to no experience with type design. |
| Connecto (16/10/2021) | A funky experiment. |
| Athels (21/10/2021) | 'athels bold wip 2' but more complete and more personalised. |
| Edgecutting Lite (12/11/2021) | My first attempt at geometric sans. Inspired by Tom Watkins & Ellen Luff's [Aventa](https://www.behance.net/gallery/95404013/Aventa-Variable-Typeface). Somehow this typeface got added to [Dafont](https://www.dafont.com/edgecutting.font) in 2024, ≈2 years after submission. |
| hiContr (17/12/2021) | My first attempt at... high contrast typeface!  |
| Jygre (05/03/2022) | An experiment with letterforms, but is still ordinary enough for most uses.  |
| Utilik (20/03/2022) | A bitmap(?) typeface.  |
| Sundryent (30/04/2022) | Inspired by Alex Slobzheninov's [Agrandir](https://pangrampangram.com/products/agrandir).  |
| Edgecutting (07/07/2022) | A revision of Edgecutting Lite.  |
| Antique Grotesk (26/07/2022) | An attempt at making those ugly af fonts. Not sure where I got inspired from, but it was inspired by something. |
| Bolt Sans (24/09/2022) | A mechanical sans-serif. Made to test FontLab trial version. Fine tuned with FontForge later on. |
| Alloquot (21/10/2022) | Condensed font, for testing weights and italic. |
| Generic Grotesk (27/11/2022) | The undiscovered prequel to [Overused Grotesk](https://github.com/RandomMaerks/Overused-Grotesk). It is exactly what it says on the name. |
| Grotv (27/02/2023) | Meant to be a fully functional workhorse. I dropped it. |
| [Hebdomadal](https://github.com/RandomMaerks/Hebdomadal) (07/01/2024) | A project in 2024 called 'Weekly Type Design' on Instagram where I design one or two glyphs every week for 52 weeks in total. |
