ZIGZAG by Benoît Bodhuin
ZIGZAG is a funny rounded font whose letters have four varieties each in order to multiply expressions and attract the eye by breaking the rhythm of reading.
The variations oscillate between a hand-drawn design and a geometric or imaginative drawing. Opentype's function lets you choose between different variations of each glyph and contextual variables allow to mix the styles.
Benoît designed this font in 2011/12 for the theatre Vivat.

Synthica by Christoph Mescher
Synthica is the advanced version of a geometrically constructed typeface – designed for a thesis project in summer 2010 in Pforzheim. In the context of electronic music and the profound analysis of its parameters, this typeface is primarly based on a strict modular grid. Additionally, the ascender, descender and the x height had slightly been increased in order to even out a visual difference in size between the glyphs. The name „Synthica“ dervives from a basic principle in electronic sound synthesis.
