It might be considered kind of ‘hipster’ type, but I think that properly used it can really turn even simple design around. It’s really well designed type face, only thing that causes me bit more work with it is lack of polish letters, but I usually just add them when needed.īeutiful font, unusual and not so easy to use but can give amazing effect to your work. ![]() and it really gives great engineering touch to the final look. Very good font with awesome technic feel to it. Definitely some of them are quite popular and you probably run into them all the time but I tried to include bit less usual too. Probably I will make more than one of such rankings but we will see in the future □ I decided to usually show rankings for free fonts, since they are available for everyone. So first one I want to tackle is my personal picks for favorite and most used fonts from my directory. I decided to make my saturday posts less project and more general design oriented subjects. For sake of design quality I narrowed the number of used Qs to 35.ĭo you love Qs as much as I do? Or maybe you think the ampersand should be the center of our attention? Or you have another beloved glyph you think that deserves to steal the ampersand’s thunder?

Many modern languages do not include Q in their letterset – one of those languages is my native Polish, which is a shame. One of the first successful fonts based on it is Trajan, which by now is the standard on Windows PCs. The Q letter can be found on Trajan Inscription – the tablet which was a mother to the modern fonts based on Ancient Roman stone-carved letters, which makes it the integral part of the basic latin alphabet. I decided to do a lineup of my favorite Qs and share them with you.įirst, a bit of history. So this is what I look for in my Qs – integrity of the glyph. The best designs in my opinion make the Q look like a complete glyph and not an O with “add-on”. The shape of this letter is really beautiful, the way it perfectly adds an additional element (the tail) to the otherwise perfect shape (circle). Whereas I do get the love for ampersand, its’ shapes and curves (usually ) I am in fact a capital Q fan. I saw lately couple of collections of ampersands which seem to rock the designer’s world.
