We are looking for an experienced font designer / type engineer to fix and complete an existing font so it properly supports Hungarian and Romanian.
What files you’ll receive
We currently have:
Semi Light Times Now.ttf – the original full font (approx. 256 glyphs), licensed by us.
Times Now Glyphs (1).ttf – a small working file created by a previous freelancer with ~24 base Latin glyphs (a, e, i, o, u, A, I, s, S, t, T, etc.) and placeholders. It does not contain finished accented Hungarian/Romanian characters.
A previous attempt at an “extended” TTF which is not usable (accented characters are incorrectly mapped / not rendering correctly). You may look at it for context, but you should work from the base font + glyph source.
In short: we have the original font and some base outlines, but no correct, working HU/RO diacritics yet.
All new glyphs must match the Semi Light weight, proportions and style.
Scope of work
Your job is to:
Build or assemble the accented glyphs from the existing base letters + diacritics.
Integrate them into Semi Light Times Now.ttf with correct Unicode mapping, metrics and anchors.
Adjust spacing and kerning so the text reads well in body copy in both Hungarian and Romanian.
Run standard validation and basic testing in common desktop apps (e.g. Word, Adobe, Figma).
No redrawing of the entire font is needed – only the missing accented characters and their integration.
Deliverables
Updated Times Now Semi Light font with the characters listed above.
File formats:
Required: .TTF
Nice to have: .OTF
A short changelog / note describing what you added or changed.
A simple proof (PDF or image) showing example paragraphs in Hungarian and Romanian.
We will mainly use the font in desktop software and on the web via TTF embedding.
Requirements for the freelancer
Please only apply if you:
Have solid experience with font editing tools (Glyphs, FontLab, FontForge, etc.).
Understand Unicode mapping, diacritic composition, kerning and basic hinting.
Have previously added Central & Eastern European support (RO, HU, PL, CZ, etc.) to a font.
In your proposal, please include:
Your fixed price for this project.
Your estimated delivery time.
1–3 relevant examples where you added diacritics or extra language support.
Any licensing / technical comments we should be aware of (we will provide the font within the limits of our license; you may not resell or reuse it outside this project).
Our goal is simple:
One clean, technically correct “Times Now Semi Light” that works flawlessly with Hungarian and Romanian.
