Datalegreya is a typeface which can interweave data curves with text. It is designed by Figs, on the basis of open source font Alegreya Sans SC Thin by type designer Juan Pablo Del Perla.

Datalegreya can be used in all contexts where small space is available to synthetically display graphical data: connected objects, embedded displays, annual reports, weather report, stock prices, etc. It doesn’t need any specialized software: users just have to install it in the operating system and launch any software able to display OpenType fonts, such as Microsoft Word, Apple TextEdit, Adobe Suite etc. Standards compliance makes it equally available on the web or software embedded.

How To Design a Typeface: Mark Simonson’s Process | Inspire

The path to success as a type designer isn’t easy. An aspiring type designer must walk the line between artist and technician, have business savvy, and carry a crystal ball to boot. Making fonts that look good and work well for print and screen takes time, talent, and an infinite amount of patience.

Good type designers are fascinated with letterforms. Some fall in love when they take a typography class in college. Others, like Mark Simonson, are swept away at a more tender age.

Avería – The Average Font
►http://iotic.com/averia

http://iotic.com/averia/img/spec04.png

i am not a type designer. This is the story of the creation of a new font, Avería: the average of all the fonts on my computer. (…) I grabbed my laptop and came up with an initial idea for finding what the average of all my fonts might look like – by overlaying each letter at low opacity. The results can be seen in the below image.
