Human-Made Custom Font Design

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.
