Ferryman is designed for everyday use – a Blackletter typeface for the contemporary reader. Unfamiliar Blackletter characters have been replaced with adapted latin characters or with letters from other historical scripts that are more legible to a modern audience.
Ferryman is the antidote to the overused geometric and neogrotesk styles. An expressive display typeface with a strong character, it is perfectly suited for counterculture projects and progressive concepts e.g. in visual art, indie music, and alternative lifestyles.
With nine weights and corresponding italics Ferryman offers a wide range of creative possibilities. Each style offers 590 glyphs supporting all Western-, Eastern- and Central-European languages and comes with four sets of numbers and various currency symbols.
Floodfonts is an independent type foundry based in Cologne, Germany and was founded in the year 2000 by Felix Braden. In the early days he designed numerous free typefaces – e.g. Bigfish, Moby and Hydrophilia are available in the Adobe Creative Cloud. In 2013 he won the Communication Arts Typography Annual and Pulpo Rust (aka Kontiki) was nominated for the German Design Award 2019. According to the foundry’s name almost all fonts have a reference to water.
