Jᴀᴄᴜʀᴜᴛᴜ - Tʜᴇ Cᴀsᴛ Oᴜᴛ

Now I've woken up my attempt to recreate the classic US Dune font I thought I'd start a dedicated thread rather than clogging up the Suggestions board.

I think now I've run out of official letters to copy - Q, X, Y are the only ones left. Apart from that there's a few bits of tinkering to do - to make the letters look right.

Progress so far:


It seems that the famous font is actually two fonts - one's a bit straighter/more normal than the other. The main diff is in the A:

I think I like the curvier A (right) better than the other one.

Crit/comments are welcome: It's still early days, so some fresh eyes looking at this would appreciated!

Had a tinker with that logo using the J from one of the Jesus Incident covers:

Very nice and impressive

Yeah, looks REALLY good!

I've only halfway been paying attention so far, so sorry if this has been answered, but what kind of font will this be when you're done? TrueType? PostScript?

(Have to confess I don't know all that much about fonts. )

I think it looks great, and I agree, the curvy "A" looks better.

That really is cool, nice work.

Trang

Very nice. It looks great. I can't wait to see the final work

Jacurutu will never be the same with this logo.

I would like to know: How I download fonts and put it in my winword?

sweetness!

I agree, this looks very sharp!

I do!

I love what you've done with this font, DuneFish and I plan to use it to create a new theme, if you don't mind. I've been keeping my eye's out for a font similar to the one on the books, hopefully this will motivate me to get new artwork done.

Just put the file in your windows/font/ folder.

Very cool.

Awesome!

Everyone should see my draft version of a possible banner. Keep in mind that I made it using the "VictorianD" font, so that's why the A is totally wrong. You get the idea though.



I am also a fan, however, of the clean black & white look you have above.

are you able to create the same background effect on the banner made by DuneFish?

Absolutely... But only with his permission. Wouldn't want to step on his toes...

Blatantly! - the black and white is just work-in-progress on the actual font. If you can make it cool then go for it! - looking forward to seeing what you can do (and I've got a couple of random thoughts myself ). atm I'm just doing this for shits, giggles and that I've always wanted to have a go at font making. Freak and co have the final word if they want to use any of it or want to go with something different.

(If you want bigger or vector give us a shout)

I'm hoping to get this all wrapped up as a ttf fairly soon - after that I'll upload it if anyone's interested.

I'm very interested...in the FONT (just making that clear)

Oh, I'm going to use the hell out of it here.

That's a font called Caslon Antique.. and I think it's my favourite font. I don't know why.. but it's amazing for quotes :

Its good, but there's just something about the U...


Its look too... Ech Prequelish.

A preekish U? Can't be having that.. I'll see if I can't have a tinker

Bit of an update - all the letters are basically done!... just some tinkering and node-nudging to do now.



Q and X are brand new - FH never used them in a title Thoughts welcome...

The Dosadi Experiment....

Ah well... one idea:

Where I can download this fonts? Are you making it available?

I really like it! I would like to use it on my college homeworks!

Very nice.

Put me down as interested in the font as well.
