Grov (1996-2002)

YOFonts Grov Grov was called Yamaocan Chicago, the font for my music work: Yamaocan Groove in 1996. The inspiration for this font, as the original name shows, came from Chicago: the system font for MacOS. Elementa, the other my personal interpritation of Chicago, seemed not fit to my image for Yamaocan Groove. So, I designed new personal version of it. Later, I decided to put this font as freeware, then changed the name to Grov. Since shown on my web page, Grov was the most requested font. I also have received the requests to expand the Grov family. Now, Grov family is increasing slowly. Japanese Kana complements originally began as my personal complements for Chigago in 1998. As soon as I began to draw them, I found it was better to design them for my Grov. I also had received a few e-mails which are asking Kana complements for Grov. I decided to design my new Kana fonts with the elements from Grov as possible. In 1999, the condensed complement for Grov is designed out from my need. Sometimes I used Grov in condensed letterform by scaling effect. But, this always caused the problem that Grov's letterform distorted in a too weak weight. So, I decided to add new condensed family to Grov. The bold complements for Grov family is designed in 2000-2002. Actually, bold complements for the upright characters had done in 2000. But, I could not finish the italic complements for various reasons, and I wanted to show them together. In October-Novemver/2002, they are completed. Grov is designed by Yamaoka Yasuhiro 1996-2002. Grov is freeware (TrueType for Windows or MacOS).

Recordings from learning files by a DTM beginner: Yamaoka Yasuhiro.

This Is A Record is my first DTM work with Apple Macintosh IIvx. I would make music sketches like every night since I had got this new device. Some of them were recorded on to DAT, some were deleted from floppy disk or from hard disk, some were left for next refinement.
Some music sketches once had their titles, now they have no titles but their time stamps. None of these rough sketches originally have had any proper titles. These are just the parts of record from my personal music history.

All files recorded by Yamaoka Yasuhiro, Tokyo, Japan, 15.05.94 - 24.08.94.
No catalogue number.

Originally released in late August 1994.

Practica (1991-2002)

YOFonts Practica At the beginning in 1991, Practica was a 'practice' to learn how to use the font developer software: AltsysFontographer. I decided to make sanserif typeface in so-called humanist style, and it came the idea to use the form of bone from the logotype; Apple Computer, Macintosh, as the basis of letterform. The logotype was set in Apple Garamond (a version from ITC Garamond), I thought this was interesting idea at the first step. And I decided to add the taste from my favourite sanserif typefaces a little bit. I drew sketches on paper, then scanned and transferred to Macintosh, began making my first font on AltsysFontographer. At first, I drew Medium weight. Light weight was made by scaling lines at 50%, Black weight was made by scaling lines at 200%. One Italic for Light weight was designed in rather arbitrary way than the uprights. I intended to form Practica family includes 4 complements to fit 'practical' usages such as: Light for text, Italic for caption, Medium for headline, Black for titling. In 1997, I began to maintain Practica again to make it more 'practical/practiced' typeface. Added interpolated Regular/Bold weights, Italic complements for expanded variations in 5 weights. Designing Practica has turned into another 'practice' to make more fine typeface, not for learning how to use the software. Later, some alternative "modern styled" variations have been built into MsF collection. Practica is designed by Yamaoka Yasuhiro 1991-2002. Practica is Shareware (MacOS PostScript Type1).
