Free Font: Often

ArrayOften Typeface

Inspired by Albert-Jan Pool’s DIN typeface (which was a redesign of the german DIN 1941) and the bestseller Gill Sans by Eric Gill.

I tried to smooth and blend the harsh and letterhead style of DIN with the elegance and roundness of Gill Sans.

    mm I don’t see it as a finished font yet… Some signs need some work: g, k, 2 …. Nice start though!

    It’s a great typeface, but considering this designer stipulates:

    **YOU CANNOT USE THIS FONT OUTSIDE OF DEVIANT ART
    THIS FONT IS NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE (websites, logos, banners, books, etc)**

    Its seems a little too restricted for any sort of use.

    Yup, the license says “NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE”… So I don’t see the point in downloading it – that’s quite a stupid license, though… If you want you’re typeface noticed, you let people try it out in their own design. Makes little sense – generally, people send in links to post stuff on Creattica, so if this was sent in, both the sender and Niki would have had to miss the licensing information. Best removed, if you ask me. The font looks cool from afar, but some glyphs are obviously lacking, like the “g”, “k”, “s”, etc. Good start, though, and a hell of a lot better than I’ll do anytime soon!

    totally agree with @Bobby. Too restricting for any kind of real use. I get tired of trying to remember which fonts I can and cannot use on commercial projects.

    Not for commercial use means you can try the font, and I really appreciate that, means you CAN’T use it except trying it out.
