Many years ago, in 1995, I blended together two fonts, a typeface very similar to Kwersity (with low contrast) and one similar to Qwatick (with high contrast). The result I called Quatsity. Below Quatsity is in the middle, Kwersity on top, and Qwatick on the bottom.
The results were interesting but I did not feel like doing the significant work needed to get bold or italics versions. When I put my font library on myfonts.com, I did not include Quatsity, but when Fontspring.com came calling, I added its one face to their offerings.
This year I have been expanding families and I decided to see what I could do with Quatsity. I ended up expanding it to a family of eight. Below the original, now the light style, is in white and the new regular, semibold, and bold styles as well as the four new italic styles are shown in yellow. The larger family should make this design much more useable.
Quatsity is a squarish or boxy serifed font with rounded corners. Is is suitable for titles or signage and legible enough for small blocks of text. It is available on
myfonts and
fontspring.
