Cennerik was an early font from IngrimayneType, designed in 1992. It had three weights: plain, bold, and extrabold. The 2020 revision adds two new weights and oblique styles, boosting the family from three members to ten. One of the new styles was between the former bold and extrabold. This became the new bold, with the former bold being renamed as semi-bold.
There were also a few corrections and additions to the original styles. In this and the following pictures, new styles are in yellow and original styles are in white.
NewNerdish is sans serif with a squarish look. Designed in 1994, it now has four weights instead of three and each of the four weights has a new oblique style.
Eyebel is another square sans-serif, one with only straight lines. It was designed in 1997 and was an experiment to see how a font could be formed with simple straight lines. It started with two weights and the revision adds three weights between the original two as well as five oblique styles.
An oblique style skews or slants the original style. A true italics changes the shape of some of the letters, especially the lower-case letters.
Dschoyphul and Grundee are sloppy serifed fonts with only one weight. Adding an oblique style to each was simple and may make them more useable.
Dschoyphul and Grundee were designed in 1995. They were attempts to design a rough, irregular serifed face that was still easy to read at small point sizes.
