Nethsans Typeface – Entirely Free Font

The ‘nethsans’ typeface is an entirely free typeface both for personal and commercial use. To break down the name: ‘neth’ stands for (the) Netherlands and sans refers to the sans serif style. It has a rather futuristic style. Although the typeface has a small character set, it took a very very long time to produce it. It all started as a fun experiment. Around 40% of it is generated with an AI algorithm. Designing/writing the software took a tremendous amount of time and yet it’s still not really feasible to generate font families all by itself. I have to drag/copy them into Fontlab, fix the optical balance, adjust, modify, fill in settings etc. etc. It might evolve to a stage where it can generate highly sophisticated font families all by itself. And hopefully it will become faster too. It’s very slow at the moment.
