I just found these typeface designs from my archives of unfinished projects. I don’t think they are anything super-special, but not too bad either. I would like to see them as a real font, I’m just too busy to go on with them.

Would you like to make them real? If yes, please contact me by email: janne at thissitesdomain, or use contact form . They need some letter design (mostly caps and numbers) and fontifying work, maybe even more.
I’m not too picky, but since these things need some design work I would like to see things you have already done (typefaces, illustrations or something else).
I can’t pay you. But if we deside to sell the fonts somewhere I’m happy to go with 50/50. My Name and Your Name as designers.

About fonts:

Gummi: Soft, candy-like typeface. In the picture there’s also a cornered version (those are the only letters I have drawn of it).
Spaze58: Could be used in some technical context, like sci-fi movie’s computer screen.
Zitadel: Basicly a version of Szpaze58, but has some elements in it that could make a different font. I think this needs more design work than other two.

All the letters are combined (with some modification) from some kind of modules.
Modules, and some different versions are in the file.
Most of the lower case letters are ready, but can be modified and or redrawn.
All caps have to be designed. And numbers in Gummi and Zitadel.
Freehand-files. I can copy-paste them to illustrator i you want.
I’m not sure if I have time to help, but I want to have a last word in the design.

I hope somebody gets interested.

Here’s some images from the children book I illustrated in 2004: Possu Annikki, Ilves Ilomieli & Karhu Ilmari (Annikki the Pig, Ilomieli the Lynx & Ilmari the Bear), written by Aira Savisaari, published by Finland’s biggest publishing company WSOY.

Story takes place in ancient Finland, main characters make a silver blanket, vikings come and steal it and our heroes hunt it back.
