Please see the sample in the comments. I haven't released any fontstructions in months, but I've constantly been trying to find new methods of fontstructing more sophisticated shapes. This is the result. Not yet finished though. Feedback welcome. The subtle roundings give it a somewhat handpainted look which i quite like.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/537922/thunderdome Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:20:44 +0000
trying to break the grid once more... composite is a great feature... still running into a lot of problems though. in had a great start with this one. i think the squeezed curves create great shapes but i don't know if it's worth creating upper case letters for. this is more like an extended experiment. unfortunately spacing is aweful once again...]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/324090/squeeze_2 Thu, 13 May 2010 13:16:29 +0000
This has been in the making for quite some time and I was only able to work on it because of the new fontstruct features. all bricks i used for this fontstructions were half-sized bricks. i mean half-circles, half-sized blocks and so on. also i worked with 1.75 scaling. thanks to this kind of setup i was able to create roundings, that go a little over or below flat-shaped letters. see the sample. also lower case letter like l, k, h and so on are a little taller than upper case letters, like in "real" fonts. the disadvantage is seen on M,W,m,w where the stem in the middle is a little too short... i had to use a very weird workaround for these 3-stem letters, so this is as good as it gets, unless fontstruct is going to have an empty space brick, that would allow me to create a fitting composite. i used lots of composites and lots of stacking. also the spacing isn't very nice, i'll see if i can do anything about that.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/202329/yobbo Thu, 06 May 2010 01:42:46 +0000
something i've been working on recently. i'm still looking for a solution to virtually increase my screen resolution, so i would have more grid space. i don't know if the line strength is consistent and i propably won't start with the capital letters until then. anyway i thought i might as well throw this in to see what you guys think about it so far.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/282328/puncture Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:34:48 +0000
another experiment. using a hexagon with rounded edges as the base of every glyph. i try to break the grid and achive new forms by using odd filter settings.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/272219/hexastruct Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:06:06 +0000
an experiment with italic script-like shapes. many flaws left.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/271231/curvy_28 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 19:59:19 +0000
it's been a long time since i released a fontstruction. today i felt like doing one again. it features smooth transitions from diagonals to roundings, notable on the S and Z.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/264818/genero Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:11:32 +0000
resubmission of the original fontstruction. added capitals and tweaked the overall readability.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/211858/tuvalua Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:36:23 +0000
Please see the samples in the comments. Using a new technique that combines 1.8 scaling and diagonals.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/203827/ripper Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:21:29 +0000

my first try on blackletters. used my 2.0-1.11 scaling again. this is still work in progress but i thought i should get some feedback meanwhile. i don't have a clue where to start with the capitals.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/192441/blackstruct Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:32:37 +0000

introducing a new brick scale system:
h 2.0
v 1.11

this allows smooth gradiation from roundings to diagonals

i know the z might look strange on first look but a straight line would break the concept]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/185027/steep_1 Fri, 22 May 2009 12:15:47 +0000

imitating lead lettering this took an awful lot of time again :/ i know the letters should actually be mirrored like on real lead letters but i prefered readability. i'm not that happy with the result. but i guess it's as good as it gets. use "_" for a filling glyph. may take some time till the download starts, i used a LOT of bricks. :o]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/162114/letter_case Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:09:11 +0000
it looks so simple but this one was so hard to do. because of the high resolution i was working on my browser used to freeze several times during process.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/159652/mikado_2 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:32:11 +0000

That's my handwriting. Scanned a piece of paper with a handwritten alphabet and redraw it as exactly as possible. I know it's sloppy but that's the effect I wanted and my handwriting is in fact very sloppy.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/153224/mister_n Sun, 22 Feb 2009 21:53:11 +0000
