|
|
I've assembled a package of ten fonts I've made for the OHR, which is available for download here.
They're all available for use in games and you don't even need to give me credit in the game Credits. Just don't say YOU made them, heh... I'd also like some feedback on if the fonts look good, if anyone will give me some.
The descriptions of the fonts are as follows:
1. Analog - A font that makes the letters look like they were on a digital clock, similar to processing fonts like Transistor. Not too hard to read, but is much better for a sci-fi world than a fantasy world.
2. Bold - An incredibly bold font that sticks out too much to be hard to read. A bit cartoonish, I suppose...
3. Cursive - This took me the longest time, and looks like real cursive. Unfortunately, it's very hard to read. If you want to have one or two words or a signature in cursive, you may want to use some letters from this, but I wouldn't suggest it for a whole game. Worth the look anyway; it took me hours to get it to look right.
4. Final - The exact same font as used in Final Fantasy 4. Not surprisingly, it isn't TOO different from the default font, but you can still tell the difference.
5. Granite - There are no curves and very few diagonal lines. Looks a bit blocky (as expected from something with no curves), but is easy to read.
6. Outline - This font looks like 'bubble' letters. Medium difficulty to read, but not nearly as hard as the cursive font. Again, you probably wouldn't want to use it for an entire game.
7. Restrant - Incredibly similar to the OHR font, in fact, only letters with enclosed areas have been edited to look like the inside has a bolder right side than left side. Named because I've seen it on plenty of restaurant names, particularly coffee shops.
8. Story - The main difference here is that all lowercase letters look like smaller version of the uppercase letters, similar to some old storybooks. It's very easy to read.
9. Thin - The opposite of the Bold font, probably. It's uh... thin. It's not actually hard to read, but it is a bit harder than the default.
10. Xavier - Named so because I couldn't think of a name to fit it. It's... weird. That's the only way I can describe it. It's medium difficulty to read, but I think it's easier to read than Outline.
Remember, I'd really like some feedback on these! _________________ Preserve OHR history! Do it for the children! |

I remember you saying you didn't do a "J" or "Q" because you couldn't find one. Yeah right, all that you had to do is talk to a namingway in Baron or some place > |

So I'm an idiot, okay?
What I'm really looking for is comments on the fonts... _________________ Preserve OHR history! Do it for the children! |

I appriciate the effort you went through to make these fonts. I may just have to steal them.
My only gripe is that there's not a HUGE amount of difference between a few of them. I liked them, though. Not a whole lot of comlaints. |

I don't currently have OHR, so I can't give you my opinion on the actual fonts. However, I would like to say this:
Xavier is Latin for "New House".
Thank you and good night. |

I might contribute my font, which looks like a general RPG font (Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, or the like). _________________

Trust me, Blazes (you evil double-poster!), I would look at your fonts, but I can't without OHR. |

I only double-posted because I REALLY REALLY wanted to. Okay, that's a horrible reason, but it was a day apart and I had only one comment about the fonts... feedback is good. Of course, my best font is the one I'm using for Destiny's Cruelty, but I'm not giving that one away, because it's obviously meant for the Destiny's Cruelty game. _________________ Preserve OHR history!

The DC font looks cool. The money symbol is very wierd. Just to enlighten you from confusion, Blazes and I live near each other. |

The money sign is different in the DC font because it doesn't use dollars, and no one has seen the font anyway so they have no idea what you're talking about... _________________ Preserve OHR history! Do it for the children! |
