Unpackaged Open Font of the Week: Tiza

Posted in Unpackaged Font of the Week by mairin on October 21, 2009

Tiza is a bold, chalkily-distressed Western-style slab font useful for headlines and other creative treatments. The font was created by Pablo Caro. It supports many accent marks in addition to the base ASCII set of characters. As Pablo notes on the Tiza page, this font was actually used as a design element for the 2008 Teen Choice Awards website! Tiza is licensed under the Open Font License.

So, you want to package Tiza?

Fantastic! You rock! You’ll want to follow the first steps here next to the ‘if you intend to do some packaging’ header:

Our fonts packaging policy, which the above refers to, is documented here:

And if you have any questions throughout the process, don’t hesitate to ask on the Fedora Fonts SIG mailing list:

Last week’s font

Last week’s font was Anonymous Pro by Mark Simonson. The font has been upgraded from the wishlist state to the in-progress state by Robin Sonefors, and has already passed package review. Great work, Robin!
