Travis Kochel's fantastic typeface for creating simple graphs.
Designed by Travis Kochel, FF Chartwell is a fantastic typeface for creating simple graphs. Driven by the frustration of creating graphs within design applications and inspired by typefaces such as FF Beowolf and FF PicLig, Travis saw an opportunity to take advantage of OpenType technology to simplify the process.
Using OpenType features, simple strings of numbers are automatically transformed into charts. The visualized data remains editable, allowing for hassle-free updates and styling.

How to Use FF Chartwell
ONE — Firstly always make sure the letter spacing is set to “0” (zero)
TWO — Using the values 0-100, type the values, then use “+” to combine them into one chart. If the total is above 100 a new chart will begin. Using the letters A-F, you can define the grid for Rose, Rings, and Radar. Use Bars Vertical to create sparklines and other bar graphs, and use Lines to create charts. Try layering them to create more complex diagrams.
THREE — Want to bring a bit of color to your work? Simply adjust the colors as you wish.
FOUR — Turn on Stylistic Alternates or Stylistic Set 1 and enjoy!
