Fleckled Offers 150+ Hand-Printed Letterpress Fonts for Digital Download via Colossal [Shared]

As AI infiltrates every part of the creative process, those committed to human expression have found innovative ways to make craft and artistry endlessly appealing. Creative director Jason Pattinson is one such person. He’s behind Fleckled, a new online shop of hand-printed letterpress typefaces that have been digitized and are available as high-resolution downloads.

Currently, Fleckled contains more than 150 fonts printed on an 1860s-era Columbian press, with more on the way. All are available in either uppercase, lowercase, or numeral sets with additional ornaments and borders across myriad styles. Retaining the signature graininess and warmth of the wood, each also comes in two versions: one with a thicker, more saturated ink and another with a lighter, more distressed feel.

The image features a grid of six distinct letters and numbers, each set against a contrasting background. The top row displays the letters "LA" on a bright lime green background, "M" on a gray background, and "JO" on a lime green background. The bottom row shows the number "98" on a white background, the letter "S" on a lime green background, and the letters "F H G" on a gray background. Each character is rendered in a distressed, grunge-style font, with visible textures and imperfections that give them a worn, vintage appearance. The overall layout is symmetrical, with the characters evenly spaced and aligned. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Ich hätte nichts gegen ein Update von IBM Plex Serif. Ich nutze die Schrift sehr gerne, aber für polytonisches Griechisch muss ich immer Noto nutzen weil sonst alles mit interessanten Akzenten nicht richtig läuft.

Mehrere Zeilen Griechisch in einer dünnen Schriftart (IBM Plex Serif extra light). Alle Buchstaben mit Zirkumflex, Spiritus oder iota subscriptum (als spezielle Akzente über den Buchstaben) sind breiter als der Rest.

Sudetype

Font magazine issue no. 200 is out — that’s CC in Roman numerals. So for the cover, we had a little fun and turned those two C’s into… céčka.

Oh, and the very first article inside is a profile interview with us. So grab your ‘céčka’ while you can!

(Céčka were colorful plastic clips from Czechoslovakia, originally meant as garment accessories. But in the 1980s, kids collected, traded, and even treated them like currency. A true pop culture relic.)

Velvetyne

Yo, people! A new typeface is out on Velvetyne and this one fell into the marmite of bizarre type. Letters is a display typeface by Céline Hurka and Jules Janssen which derives from a historical interest in the depiction of paper within the realm of printed matter, such as teared ribbons and ornamental backgrounds. Go to velvetyne.fr/fonts/letters/ to get it now! #typeface #font #opensource #letters #bizarre #experimental #typography #libre

A heavily ornate typeface which looks like torn paper on a paper textured background, spelling out the words "Letters out now!"
