I’m commissioning a typeface of the style in the image uploaded built entirely by hand—no AI, auto-trace, or pre-fabricated glyph libraries. The style is completely custom, not a conventional serif, sans-serif, or script, so I’ll rely on your creativity as a letter-form expert to develop a unique visual voice but is MUST follow the style in the uploaded image. If you are generating a lot of examples by AI then PLEASE DO NOT POST THEM. Primary uses • Print: the font will headline and body a newspaper, so excellent legibility at small point sizes and on low-grade newsprint is essential. • Web: I also need the same family optimised for screens, loading as WOFF/WOFF2 without losing consistency. What I expect • Full character set (A–Z, numerals, basic punctuation; extended Latin appreciated). • Regular weight as the core, with suggestions for additional weights or italics if they improve coherence. • Carefully tested kerning pairs and hinting for both print and web. • Deliverables in OTF/TTF for desktop and WOFF/WOFF2 for web, plus a specimen PDF that shows the type in newspaper columns and on a responsive webpage. • Signed assurance that every glyph is drawn manually and is exclusively licensed to me. I’ll review sketches first, then a vector master, and finally the compiled font files. If this sounds like your craft, let’s talk timelines and milestones.

You are commissioning a fully custom typeface intended to function not only as a visual identity system, but as a long-term publishing tool that must remain readable, distinctive, and technically stable across both newspaper print and modern web environments. Since the font will be used extensively in editorial layouts and low-grade newsprint conditions, have you already defined the minimum threshold between stylistic uniqueness and functional readability to ensure the typeface maintains character without compromising reading flow in dense column formats? I specialize in handcrafted typography systems and custom letterform development with a strong focus on structural consistency, editorial readability, kerning precision, and cross-platform performance. Are you available for a brief discussion today or tomorrow to align on the intended editorial tone, reading density, and how closely the final typeface should adhere to the uploaded reference versus evolving into a broader proprietary visual system?
