yep, you're right... guess i'm not too creative with the tags.:)
thanks for your comments!

ok, everyone, we'll play some democracy here: i'm not sure if i should leave the lower case letters just blank like this. i had the idea to fill them with the same pattern, but upside down (black at the bottom, white at the top)... if you'd prefer that to the blank letters, let me know and your wish shall be my command...

ok, i'm not sure what political scientists would say about the time span of this voting, but i consider this a 100% majority... so here you are with the inverted fills. i actually had the same impression about the military look that didn't fit into the whole decorative concept, i cloned the blank ones for your standalone idea and made this one consistently decorative.
i really like the stencil idea, too... i'm gonna work on this one as soon as i find the time!

thanks for your feedback!

I've adjusted the space width... Funny, haven't touched this for a year. I wonder how this would have been with all the new bricks and new features of fontstruct.

Wow... On the cover! How cool is that!? I don't know the magazine myself, but Wikipedia tells me it has some 70'000 readers... I guess that's my biggest audience so far.:)
Thanks a lot for posting this Lex! I would never ever have found that myself...

(They could have picked a different colour combination though... red/yellow looks a bit cheap.:P)

Actually yes, I thought about that too... They should have contacted me at least to ask if they could use it, because even when the magazine is for free it is clearly a commercial product. I'll probably write them a mail asking for some humble remuneration, though I'm too happy to see my font on a magazine cover to start a war on licencing issues.

This is by the way probably a by-product of our fonts unauthorisedly appearing on free font sites. I have started releasing some of my work on dafont.com (not including Teatral so far though), and the feedback is pretty overwhelming: Punched Out has been downloaded some 22'000 times within three weeks, and featured on several blogs, up to swiss-miss.com. I've also gotten several requests for permission to use it in commercial projects. The bad side about it is that you lose control over where your font shows up pretty fast; I've found my fonts on several sites that definitely didn't ask for my permission. Which I suppose is still legally correct as long as they don't state having designed it and include the license with my name in the zip-file. (Which of course no one is going to read though.)

So the question is: to be happy about the wider audience and your fonts appearing even on magazine covers, or to grieve for the loss of control and potential license violations? So far I tend to choose the first option as I've never ment to make money with my 'structions... Might change some day though. :)

Here's a screenshot of the Fast Forward Weekly cover Teatral was used on.
By the way: The licensing issue is settled. I contacted the design director of the magazine and asked for a donation, which he happily agreed on. Yep: I've officially earned my first money with fontstructions. :)

Wow. Definitely gotta contact them, they didn't ask for permission at all... And in the case of a loan shark I wouldn't even feel bad for asking for a solid compensation ex post.

Thanks a lot for pointing me to this, nippa! I would never have found that on my own... Makes me wonder how many illegal uses of our fonts there are out there - I'm sure the dark figure is huge, especially of the fonts we (or others) put on dafont. Still cool that the fontstruct detection network seems to work in quite a few cases.:P
