Description:
> This meditative martian orbit flight is dedicated to the first multiglobal typeface Mars Type.
> I believe that humanity will soon make a new "giant leap" on Mars! This great mission is worthy of its own font. Scientists prepare to explore new planets, Rentafont prepares to release the first multiplanetary typeface. The typeface called "Mars Type" for Mars should be as Gill Sans is for England or Helvetica is for the whole Earth.
> Mars Type is sans serif with open counters and other features that enhance its recognizability and readability. Ideal for way finding and interfaces in the Martian colony. The main feature of the font is a special form of oval characters (perfect circle outside, "porthole" inside) and the axis of some characters (eg. slash) that corresponds with the angle of the Mars axial tilt – 25,19°. Vertically cut finials, as in Futura or Gill Sans, allow the new font to have a high capacity, as in humanistic sans serifs, but maintain visible geometric look. Mars Type was designed by Yevgen Sadko in 2018-2019 and released on https://rentafont.com https://rentafont.com under SIL Open Font License (OFL).[0]
> My dream is to visit Mars and see a good typeface, chosen according to rational criteria, for the specific conditions of the planet and the purposes of the settlers, not just to imitate Sci-Fi movies or famous brands.
> If my idea inspires you, please help this font get to Mars! Rentafont is looking for like-minded people to implement some challenging tasks:
> • make a cool video presentation of the font; (DONE!)
> • convey information about the new font to ESA, NASA, Elon Musk;
> • add Asian and other non Latin and non Cyrillic characters;
> • add emojis and icons;
> • make a Variable Font with width and Weight axes.
