Give me a name

Hello, guys

I’m almost done with the finishing touches to our next font which used to be called “Slide” but as I found that there is already font called like that I have to think of a new one. It was always a problem for me to get a decent  name (although I’m proud with the Barrister Sans one)  I want to ask you for help – that’s right I want you to help me with the name.

I’m open for suggestions until 16th of may when I’ll have to choose one. The three best proposals will win a free copy of the font.

So please spread the news and help me find a suitable name for this typeface. Your suggestion should be given in the comments  section of this post or as mention on my twitter account no later than UTC+02 11:59 pm on 16th of may.

thanks !

    Hello Alexander!

    How about “Integriss font”? Because the “S” reminds me of an integral symbol.
    Cheers

    Hi Alexander,

    Just my two cents:

    “Sol Deco”

    ‘Sol’ because of the high altitudes your font gets at, and ‘Deco’ because it reminded me of the art movement late ‘20 to mid ‘40, “Art Deco”.

    Ajar – as the characters remind me of a door that’s ajar.

    When is a door not a door? When it’s Ajar.

    Nice font by the way.
