Abstract
This paper presents new original digital fonts and their usage in different programs. It also gives an overview of the work that students have created from the original draft of characters. We have chosen two fonts that will be shown as examples of different features as well as examples of successfully completed fonts that are functional and contain all the letters including the Croatian language
diacritics. These new fonts belong in the category of individualized handwritten forms. The procedure of making the character is given in the paper. A classification to determine the existence of serifs, line thickness, incline and ratio between the highs of the horizontal letter lines and the relation with vertical line is also given. A determination of fonts’ readability and its usage in larger quantities of text as well as their functionality with small amounts of text and emphasizing words and titles was made. It was also established if the context or importance of information is lost when using these fonts due to their appearance or visual impression resulting from design, thus determining the purpose of the fonts.
Keywords
