On floating contour and sojourn

The idea of a non-constant, moving contour is inherently intuitive and has been known since the earliest computer experiments. This only confirms the obvious value of non-constancy as a positive quality in the perception of type—and the continuity of this approach across epochs and media.

This way of contouring also illustrates the sojourn situation for many us, — most of, — graphic designers of our time. We do not have a shelter stable enough to set up the TAX-bay. We may sit for years in Nicaragua missing beloved books of specimens left beside a snowboard on a wet Moscow balcony and then open eyes being drawing your most meaningful sketches standing in train blowing through the snows of Mongolia. We are froced to obtain the connections between cultures as well as Hendrik Van den Keere did and as much as we must dig into our own family photo-albums. Both work for or an inner shelter and better contouring the words through own eye-heart opinion and particularly this very opinion became a position of coordinates that lets people realize that decent hope of meeting, parttaking, an encounter with the Other.

The model of instances shown down here is the scheme of what we have under the hood of instance we offer. The term of interpolation requires clarification on the problem of it and shows up the preocess. Something average and intermediate stays on the border of inexpressiveness and unresolved yet. Tha is why 'many' in case of style could be bad! As well as something alternative is always secondary. Although in the art of fonts the method of reworking and nuancing is leading one. Holding these contrasting understandings we should have a critical consumption to what the mistake is and there the victory. The resolvinf key-feature in this process is the word 'hierarchy'. We no only gather and then slice something between, but we make the dimentions of importance and real history. In the process of creating this typeface, the poles keeps most important points of the time of the process of creating the font. These are mental scenes of the difficulty to choose that is seeing beautiful and able to interpolates. However, some additional intermediate strongholds were added, their coordination and arrangement along with their own value constitute the entire complex of whole OFFRealist.

In this way, we see in Realist an anthropomorphic approach to the variability of the contour: It is a refusal of a straightforward answer—but also the acceptance of it as a possibility and a hope for a more soul and global conclusion about time, about memory.

OFF Regulars
and table of contents

This complexity of contour alternates the current situation of font design, where a serious font idea is offten overloaded of the whole range of axes and multistyles. But I see: typographer takes one or maximum two cuts of styles and even realises the need of ‘bold’ or ‘italic’ with letters from other font. The art of finding the combinations of this, making the wonderful pairs that underlines each other is the loud illustration of the ideas of diversity, multiculturalism, and all that post-modernism treasures. It is what admires our eyes and what we call the sense of typography. So do not have this choice left out of the consciousness.

I would also mention the effect of fear of younger ones when receiving the package with tons of styles in each inclination multiplied by another ton of bold gradients – they just do not what to take and why, and even after dropping a proposal (choosing regular one) they feel that something major has passed them away. But it is offten when this 'majority' is font designer values only! We think it is better to get OFF and squeze maximum from one face Regular. Be perfect to set up Your need even in the minimum of pairing regular and italic. The same vertical metrics and adjusted optical measures in all fonts of the OFF gives the opportunity to combine them as a ‘bold’ or ‘italic’ up to Your sense and totally sharpen it.

Your own practice of pairing the fonts establishes the convenient system off using them. In all professional applications like Figma or InDesign the purchased OFF fonts will be seen under one menu of the OFF family — there You will find all the 'realists' as the instance of OFF so You may not scroll to the next one for pairing. This kind of composing is available in OTF and woff2. This feature might be most usefull when 4-5 fonts of us will be installed on Your machine and each package keeps the traditional naming too, there all the OFF fonts are available as Regular and generated as TTF.

This is general assemblage of constructions of Realist to present them as a one of 'poor Vervliet xeroxes'.
It is spread as the realistic specimen of usage on the whole this site. The one purchased supports the most of european patterned characters tables including cyrillic in its bulgarian and russian variants with the elder forms of letters and system of ligatured emphasises to perform normal work with academic and religious layouts. It contains few sets of numerals, small caps and fleurons.

Right from that point of the personal and through ages and ages driven humans' need for one another—came the idea of to keep all the massive of font project and develop an unique contour for each holder. The base of fixation of this is a bit outdated theme of NFT. That was booming then seen as scam then just faded away.

One survey found nine out of ten respondents reported being victims of NFT scams, with 16% saying their NFT accounts had already been hacked. Wikipedia has refused to acknowledge NFTs as "art" under its own guidelines, and multiple artists have publicly accused NFT platforms of enabling mass theft of their work.

Yes, we remember all of that and for today, then its scam fleur almost gone we find this kind of certification contains good constructive — proof and security. Blockchain is still decentralised, opened and gives the important component of resale. Since Apple, Google Pay and other platforms made crypto easy going simply add the separate wallet for your fonts! Many of them will pull down your pocket as metal ones. We offer outlines that unique and chain is only to proof your ownership. To backward blockchain we also duplicate the correlation of outlines and its owner privately and keep them for the surprising new layers of the project!.. NFT is just a bit OFF, but alive and need even more time to screen off a liquid-crystal-cream from it! This was always the quieter dream underneath the noise. In 2024, the venture capitalist Chris Dixon devoted a full book, Read Write Own, to making that case seriously:

...that blockchains could "establish inviolable rules in software" strong enough to outlast any single company's promises — and return real ownership to the people who make things, not only to the platforms that host them.

It might be even used as the general mode in fonts industry, we guess, but in Realist it got into blossom as the true snippet of trading of fount matrices in the elder ages. — The Golden Ages of Type, by the way, and yeah — by design! This is exactly as it happened between Christofel Plantijn and Guillaume Le Bé and all other small printers asked one another to pour him 'some of those beautiful letters'.

On St. Paul and St. Augustine

Reality is the Person. Position of some points may change. Some of them contains a few and linked to Multimaster. We interpolate, this is how we pack the impossibility of numerical equalness and live constancy into one project.

The bigger and covering meaning of floating contour is the characteristic of our epoch and the problems of modern philosophical borders that we have as 'context'. The word is not constant in it’s outlines, but it still keep the general mass and the directions of its spreading.

This narrative is opened more in the Story section but here from the point of the process: One may spend many years gazing at the beautiful letters in the library, for each one is unique, trying systemitze them making the hierarchy of one's own taste... and then just decided to not let all of them to be gone! To save, to grab all of them! Into the new realist project. Live constancy reveals the Time itself as the one of coordinates of Reality for more than 2025 years already. Time and timeless sits behind this whole difficulty of 'augustine' readings — the mobility of meaning and context, the impossibility yet of a final, unambiguous statement. It is the same problem Western philosophy has carried since his City of God and his Confessions first named it. That mobility shines, unspoken, in the inconstancy of a contour of words of Realist. But there is a second side to it, older than Augustine's confession. In a moving word we also carry the hope: somewhere between these poles of meanings of men words stands the Word the Apostle Paul heard and saw — the one he testified could not be retold. Not described. Seen. Face to face.
