This font is, sadly, boring. I mean yes, it's got a jazzy feel to it and yes, it has more characters than most fonts do. But come on! We all know you can do much better, pauldhunt. As far as I can see, you only used five types of bricks. *SIGH* I basicly did the same thing with my own Venetian Blinds (CUBIC). And even I hate that!

PS Is this really a Top Pick, or is my computer just going throught some kind of glitch? I gave you 6/10; 2/10 for the font, 4/10 for effort.

@aaaalllleeeexxxx I'm sure it's not your intent, but many of your comments come across as uninformed and wrongly critical. While your own Venetian Blinds (CUBIC) is similar, and has several nice glyphs, it lacks a consistency that is found in Structurosa Tape.

alex, some of the most influential type designs of the past 50 years have been designed on single shapes (namely the square), let alone 5 which is the case here. Whether we recognise it or not but we owe much of why this community of modular, grid based font designers exists to Crouwel. (amongst others) Aside from all this folly I must point out that I think pauldhunt based this on the 'fontstruct' logo but replacing the curves with diagonal lines. It was a theoretical exercise which works. Nice job pauldhunt Just as a by the way, 2/10 + 4/10 = 6/20 = 3/10...

@Aaaallll: That's not nice. @Youssef cool logo conversion. And you're doing the fraction math wrong. A denominator + the same denom. = the same denom. A denom. + a different denom. = the denom.s multiplied. You're mixing up the rules.
