Hey FontStruct! Long time no see! :)

This is what one would unfortunately have to call a lukewarm comeback. It's been almost 2 years since my last release, and what I come back with is a not overly creative design with an uncomplete character set and an unsatisfying name. But this has been collecting dust for too long in my unreleased fonts collection, and I sort of like the uppercase... So I thought maybe someone else does, too.

Western european diacritics and more punctuation marks will hopefully come soon, so don't download yet.

Cheers!]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/330846/apodosa Sat, 03 Mar 2012 21:06:29 +0000
Another script experiment, again with a pinch of blackletter, but also with a solid lacing of rock'n'roll... For the fun/easiness of it, this was done with pre-2.0-features only. Funny how this already gives is an old-school feel. :)

A lot of refinement is still to be done... Suggestions are, as always, welcome!

And I will probably add some more latin characters soon...

Little experiment of mine, trying to design a script font that really connects all the letters. As you might guess from the quality of the uppercase, I started with lowercase and had quite some trouble finishing the uppercase... And I know there are (obviously) always the connection strokes peaking out at the end any word, but funnily this imperfect look has started to grow on me during the fontstructing.

I also know there are still lots and lots of inconsistencies and letters that badly need a rework, but I thought the constructive criticism of my fellow fonstructors might be more helpful and efficient at improving this... So I'm grateful for any suggestions!:)

Oh, and yes: The kerning is very painful at times, but I can't see how I can improve that under the constraints of the script and the character forms. And obviously the script thing doesn't work with uppercase only text.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/342823/scrambled_script Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:02:55 +0000
This is my first humble attempt at something blackletterish. It's the third clone of the initial starting point which was based on another blackletter attempt I did some time ago... Seems like I'm not much of a blackletter natural.:) I'm not completely happy with this one neither, but just pumping it out because i don't currently find any motivation or creativity to improve it.

Any suggestions for improvement are welcome! Especially for the T, that one gives me the creeps... And yes, I know kerning can get quite messy and is best done by hand.

More and/or higher resolution samples on my blog!]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/331669/frostletter Sat, 29 May 2010 12:05:32 +0000
If Punchline doesn't look heavy enough to you, try his brother: This guy has filled counters for real heavy duty tasks.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/327359/punchline_filled_2 Tue, 18 May 2010 22:49:46 +0000
Ultra heavy slab serif uppercase only face, subtly celebrating the 4x1 diagonals of fontstruct 2.0... I hope some people will find more stylish uses for this than on college shirts/jumpers. It actually wasn't intended to have that standard college slab serif look, and I desperately believe that there's still a nuance of difference, but that might be an illusion.

I btw just copied the uppercase letters on lowercase slots to make it more convenient. So don't be too impressed by the character count.;)]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/312191/punchline Thu, 13 May 2010 14:26:10 +0000
This technique certainly has the potential for more than this, but right now I don't have the time for experimenting a lot. But how about using it for a handwriting-on-rough-paper font?

And yep, I'll do a more complete character set soon...]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/318460/pixel_pandemonium Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:22:58 +0000
This feels very bad; it's the first time I'm betraying my oath never to use the grid to feign bezier curves, and one of the few times I betray my principle only to publish complete character sets. At least there is a chance to make amends on the second treason, but this font still deserves it's name: Tradita. (Italian for betrayed)

Alternative a and z on the lowercase. I'll probably add more characters soon enough, but it's unlikely to get an uppercase set. ]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/258872/tradita Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:13:21 +0000
Feels like years since I've shared my last fontstructions...
This one's been lying around in the private box for quite a while because I didn't find the inner peace to do an extended character set. Originally I just trying to get an acceptable A using a 2x1 filter setting, but somehow it grew to a whole typeface. (That makes any word written in capital letters look like a tobacco brand, hence the name...)

Sample coming after a few hours of sleep!

(My favourite letter is by the way the ß... Inspired by Berlin street signs.)]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/284261/nicotiana Mon, 29 Mar 2010 00:25:09 +0000
Definitely turned out weirder than expected, but well... Sometimes you just can't control your creations.;)

And yes, this definitely needs some refinements. Especially the name.:D Any suggestions?]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/208998/stylita Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:40:03 +0000
I intended to make some sort of an M.C.Escher tribute here. I'm sorry this isn't very complete and far from being perfectly well done, but it somewhat started to make me feel dizzy...;) And even though I'm not very convinced by this, I don't think I'd come up with a way better execution soon.

I hope for Mr Escher that there are better tribute fonts for him out there! He'd definitely deserve it...

It was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it. (If you can call 42 characters "finished".)

Also check out Frodo7's Hommage à Escher, geneus1's IsoMatrix 3D, and funk_king's Soma for some other great Escher-esque fontcrafting!]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/180699/escheresk Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:07:25 +0000
This is the result of my frustration of never getting capital A's with diagonals steep enough to go all the way down without getting way too wide: A tall font with 2x1 grid stretch, with - guess what - a capital A whose diagonals aren't steep enough to go all the way down without being too wide... Well, whatever! :P
Maybe somebody likes it anyway!

Alternate ampersand on 1/4.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/205208/capitalia Sat, 25 Jul 2009 14:23:58 +0000
Well, apparently everybody here likes building letters... And I'm sure everybody got told at least once to finally shut down that damn computer while fontstructing. Here's how you can go on tinkering fonts even with the computer unplugged!;)

I had carried this idea around with me a long time ago, doing some sketches, but abandoning it cause I thought all the thin and dotted lines would go beyond fontstruct's possibilities. Until funk_king proved me wrong... Thanks for the re-inspiration!

I think this is pretty self-explaining. Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted lines and put some glue on the shaded parts, put it all together, and there you go with your new toys!

Unfortunately it was impossible to fill all the inner sides of all the counters, but I tried to leave them open where you'd see it least. There might also be some bugs, I haven't tried them out yet. Pure brainwork so far... (My brain's still in the freezer to cool down a bit) In case someone ever actually uses them and finds something wrong, please let me know!
Hope you like it!:)

Clone of Disparador with filled closed counters. Looks pretty stylish if used properly...]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/202500/disparador_filled Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:17:21 +0000
Clean, technical, heavy font, inspired by Maxïmo Park's "A Certain Trigger" album cover.

Update: I've remodelled this one completely on a 1x1 filter, with some minor changes on basic latin, redesigned diacritics and extended character set for most roman languages.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/199713/cupra Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:16:09 +0000
slab serif version of Exempla Sans Strict... Not so sure about the the capital A yet, any suggestions are welcome! Hope you like it!]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/185839/exempla_slab_medium Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:42:38 +0000
sweet little graffiti-comic-punk-style-outline-font that you might not want to use for more than a few words... more characters coming soon! what a pleasure btw to make a font that's done within about half an hour...:P]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/188795/stitched_outline Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:00:05 +0000
3d stencil font based on the teatral character set. yeah, just a modification... why make it hard and timeconsuming if you can have it fast and easy.:P the lower case characters are just without stencil effect. btw. i released this already, but i cloned it for a fill font and modified the original one accidentally... that's why the comments are gone, sorry!]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/181327/teatral_stencil Tue, 12 May 2009 13:59:47 +0000
clean sans serif typeface with technical look, built with high readability and wide usability in mind... so not a really creative font, but i somehow like it anyway.:P Update: extended latin A is complete now... Take a look at the stencil version and the slab serif version (my current favorite) as well!]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/177076/exempla_sans_medium Fri, 01 May 2009 15:51:48 +0000
