Dear Human, we bring you another fine Chocobot product, derived from Chocobot White. Ignore the fact that all other brands of chocolate have mysteriously disappeared from stores.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/215701/chocobot_white_highlight Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:32:51 +0000

Dear Human, only the finest cacao was used to produce this variation of the Chocobot Dark product. It will provide you with plenty of antioxidants, so indulge yourself.

I finally got around to upgrading Strata Blocks. I wasn't very happy with the lowercase letters, which could not show a full gradation (unless they had ascenders). And I felt that many characters could be improved, too. The result is Strata Blocks Caps, which boasts a full set of Basic Latin and More Latin characters.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/207359/strata_blocks_caps Sun, 26 Jul 2009 23:50:17 +0000

I've added a side shadow to Prometheus Regular. The inspiration was a typeface from the French type foundry Peignot. Identified as "No. 1229" in their Lettres Fantaises of 1896, it sports a very fine side shadow, which I've attempted to re-create here. (I found the "No. 1229" sample on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' blog - fifth image from the top.)]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/110850/prometheus_regular_shadow Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:28:21 +0000
Clone of Prometheus Light (Basic Set), which is based on condensed Grecian typefaces by Darius Wells and William Hamilton Page. Many Grecian wood type samples lack lower case characters or numerals (or both!)... hence my sampling of different sources.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/80235/prometheus_regular Sun, 20 Jul 2008 08:41:24 +0000
Clone of Ribbon Inline. It's an all-caps typeface, but A, B, R, V, and W have alternate glyphs in the lowercase keys.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/76818/ribbon_3 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:21:25 +0000
Clone of BriteLite, which was inspired by Lite-Brite. Caps only, to keep things simple -- no pesky ascenders or descenders!]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/74480/britelite_caps Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:42:57 +0000
More fun with vintage technology (a.k.a. Lite-Brite). This version has complete upper case, lower case, and numerals, plus basic punctuation.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/73152/britelite Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:28:08 +0000

Partly inspired by those DYMO LabelWriters that were ubiquitous in the 1970s... This is not yet complete; I still have to add lots of punctuation. Diacritics might be coming, too... Stay tuned.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/65751/tapewriter Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:26:04 +0000
The original Morse code was created for Samuel F.B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, but spread to radio communications (and beyond) beginning in the 1890s. (It is now known as American Morse code, and rarely used.) International Morse code was created by Friedrich Clemens Gerke in 1848, and standardized at the International Telegraphy congress (Paris) in 1865.

Other current Morse Code FontStructions have encountered word- and letter-spacing issues, and I tried to work around this by stacking the dots and dashes vertically. The result reminds me a bit of Mayan numerals, but hey, as long as it still reads as Morse... I wonder what the ITU would say about this? One thing's for sure... it saves a lot of horizontal space.

In each character, the dots and dashes read from top to bottom rather than from left to right. Punctuation has the longest series of dots and dashes in International Morse Code (six), so this number determined my cap height. :-) The shorter characters all hang from this imaginary line.

Missing characters: Please note that the !, & and $ symbols are not defined within the ITU recommendations for International Morse code, so they are not part of this typeface. On the other hand, the @ symbol was approved for use in 2004, so I've also included the underscore sign I found at two different online sources. (The underscore symbol has not been formally approved by the ITU, but it could come in handy if you have to transmit an e-mail address using Morse code!)

Other characters: As with my two Braille FontStructions, the uppercase and lowercase versions of each character are the same. Also, the opening and closing parentheses share the same symbol, which will also show up if you type brackets instead of parentheses. Last but not least, there are a very few diacritics included (the ones I was able to verify).]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/58144/international_morse_code_stacked Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:04:18 +0000
Clone of Braille (Basic). I swapped the hollow circles for small dots.

Special characters: There are no capital letters in Braille. Instead, there is a symbol for "capital letter follows," which I have placed in the "at" (@) symbol. The "number follows" symbol is usually placed in the space for the "number" symbol (#), so I've followed that convention. In addition, I have copied the symbol for each letter into both the upper and lower case spaces, to make it easier to type something up (or select an existing text file) and switch the font to Braille (Basic) Alternate. ]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/56143/braille_basic_alternate Sun, 01 Jun 2008 09:14:48 +0000
The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 1821.

Mew Wins' Morse Code Alphabet (International) inspired me to make a Braille FontStruction. I have only drawn the basic, or Grade 1, version of the Braille alphabet here. (There is a contracted version of Braille, known as Grade 2, and another version which uses an 8 dot grid. In addition, there are special Braille characters for accented letters, but they are not all standardized, so for now I have stayed away from them.)

I.K. Bonset was the pseudonym that Theo van Doesburg used to publish Dada poetry in his magazine De Stijl.

This FontStruction is loosely based on van Doesburg's alphabet of 1919. I have not followed his strict grid of 25 x 25 (unlike Freda Sack and David Quay's revival, Architype Van Doesburg, or P22's De Stijl Regular) -- in other words, some of my caps and numerals deviate from van Doesburg's original design. Also, I've added a lower case and diacritics (which I am currently updating).]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/52799/bonset Sat, 24 May 2008 23:29:15 +0000
Clone of Strata Blocks -- and, I'm hoping, an improvement of same. I used the advanced controls to reduce the brick dimensions to 0.85 in both directions, eliminating the continuous band of black that formed at the top of Strata Blocks 1.0.]]> http://analytics.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/27052/strata_blocks_2_0 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:44:17 +0000
