Happy birthday, Piet Mondrian (b. 3/7/1871)!

I hope his afterlife is rectilinear & primary-colored.

Styl and Styl round

The original was considerably less legible than this (and I didn’t know about the Dutch ij ligature back then), which explains why this font is called ‘Styl’ and not ‘Stijl’.

This was one of the first fonts I ever released, back in 1996. For its 21st birthday, I used it as a guinea pig to learn to use Multiple Masters in Glyphs, and also the Rounded Font filter. There are now six weights available.

The character set includes support for lots of languages which can be written in Latin script and includes a selection of ligatures. These characters can be accessed by either choosing an appropriate keyboard layout in the International preferences panel, or via the Special Characters…/Glyphs menu option (the name seems to vary depending on the application).

The image below shows the different styles and weights included in the package:

This typeface is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and is free for you to use and adapt, with very few conditions attached.

Note that the license restricts the distribution of fonts outside a software package. To make it clear, if I have personally submitted this to your font archive, then you have my permission to distribute this font, though the bundle of font and documents must stay together.

A quarter of a century old (next month), but still so fucking good.
I remember how I listened the shit out of this album, when I was a sad teenager.

Now I'm a sad "adult" and still love it extremly. 🙃
