“Composite Sizes - Tutorial” by Goatmeal

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 21:46:17 +0000

The purpose of this tutorial font is to show all possible brick combinations that can be used to make a composite, both vertically and horizontally, plus the 3 squares. There are a maximum of 16 total bricks allowed (plus any spaces, see below), but a composite may contain as few as 2 bricks. Please note that the square combinations of [2×2], [3×3] and [4×4] are duplicated in both the vertical and horizontal sets.

Empty spaces *also* count toward the maximum number of allowed bricks, but due to the numerous possible combinations, composites that include empty spaces are not included here. Simply recognize that you CAN make composites with empty spaces in them, and when bordered by bricks, empty spaces WILL be included in your total composite count...

For example: in the first set of vertical composites [1×2] to [1×16], there are ~1.789 × 10^40 possible combinations that can be generated from the current brick sets (Core set = 241 bricks + Connect set = 86 bricks) plus empty spaces.

And for the simplest composites that can be made -- either [1×2] or [2×1] -- there are 106,929 unique composites (327×327) that can be made for each direction, vertical or horizontal.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you clone this font and use the outline feature to view the resulting composite structures: activate Expert Mode, then use the Keyboard Shortcut "O" to toggle the Outline Mode on and off.

Once a composite is created, don't forget that you may also ERASE bricks from it in a process called "padding." This can help you remove bricks along an edge or corner(s) of your composite. The following links explain composites in greater detail:

Composite Bricks with Padding

As I recently mentioned to another FontStructor, composites are an EXTREMELY powerful tool when creating fonts. However, the trick in creating them effectively is that you must not only consider HOW you want the resulting brick to look in the end, but also have the foresight to plan which bricks you may need to INCLUDE -- then subsequently ERASE -- from your composite brick to achieve you goal.

Good luck, and Happy FontStructing! :^)

In the game, the spacing/kerning between various letter and/or punctuation combinations is highly variable, anywhere from 2-6 pixels. To strike a balance, a standard three-pixel width was chosen for letters and most punctuation; the remaing punctuation glyphs have a 6-pixel width, while the numbers retain their 2-pixel width.

“Dot24Pin Sans Solid” by Goatmeal

Sat, 26 Dec 2020 16:37:17 +0000

Clone of Dot24Pin Sans Outline.

Still dreaming of 24-pin printers...

This original 24×15 typeface is designed around the limitations presented by the near letter quality (NLQ) output of dot matrix printers (DMPs) during the '80s & '90s. Partially inspired by J. David Sapir's DOS font design program, LQMATRIX, it could have easily been created using that program back in the day.

(The "smart phone"-looking character in the À position is simply a placeholder, used as a quick reference to set vertical height lines while FontStructing.)
