From the Internet

From the Internet typeface specimen.

I released From the Internet on April 2, 2011 as a follow-up to From the Stars. Where From the Stars was a larger, geometric family with closed apertures and a strong display feel, From the Internet was designed to be more compact and usable in text. I softened the edges, rounded the corners, and kept the widths tighter to make it work better in user interfaces. The numerals were monospaced to fit with that functional approach.

The family was smaller, consisting of Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold-Italic. From the start, I included stylistic alternates for the t and f so users could switch to forms that blended more smoothly in text. The font was always released under commercial license; I never offered free weights.

On June 25, 2021, I updated the family. That update removed deprecated characters, replaced reversed quotation marks with proper ones, and improved the accessibility of the stylistic alternates in software like InDesign. From the Internet has not been picked up for notable projects, but it remains a record of my attempt to create a UI-friendly, text-capable companion to From the Stars.
