Cinzel is a typeface inspired in first century roman inscriptions and based on classical proportions. However it’s not a simple revivalism. While it conveys all the ancient history of the latin alphabet it also merges a contemporary feel onto it.

Cinzel was commissioned by Google Fonts for its web font library, this also means that the font is available at no cost.

Futuracha is an Evge-awarded display font downloaded by over 50.000 people at the first year of its publication. The name is the combination of words futura and cucaracha (cockroach in spanish).
The design is based on the basis of pf futura book which has a ideal weigh for met. The letters’ edges radically extend in a forceful way trying to remind the art deco’s style. The serifs are based on Claude Garamond typefaces.
It was designed as a display font so it’s not recommended for extended texts. It’s suitable for headlines and logos. I strongly recommend to users to experiment with the font. The results of the experiments may be proven fascinating. Futuracha includes both greek and latin characters as well as numbers and symbols. You can download Futuracha for free in e.ps format.
