One of the nice things about any Fontstruction is that it's very transparent to the community of users the kind of work that went into making it. You can't hide behind PS filters, stock art, or other tricky shortcuts. It makes looking at a font like this so much richer. I can see quickly the knuckle-grinding work (and thought) that went into this one. Nice job.

Thank you for the nice words, everyone. I am grateful to all of you (and everyone else) for your (and their) own fontsuctions because they make me learn. Creativity is boundless here. It's awesome to see. :D @afrojet: This was a surprisingly simple font to do. There I was waiting for someone to get dressed and ready, looking at a wall in sharp perspective with circular decorative pieces hung on it...and my mind wandered. I had the font complete in my head before my waiting was over. The hard part was done. Next it was just a matter of getting 6x10 matrix of dots live, and a simple copy/paste the dot-block on each letter and deleting the dots not needed. Doing it did not take more than 45 minutes, nor should it have because it is basically just a 6x10 dot-matrix font. Thank you.

Every now and then I come across a font that makes me jealous...this one of them :)

Brilliant!! Using the dot matrix is pretty darn clever, and opens the door for other more complex ideas.

great work. maybe you can do mirror-image version - where it goes from smaller to larger / left to right - for your lc?

Another creative and brick-bending achievement, minimum. Bravo!

It's interesting what gets attention and what doesn't. This was just a simple idea and an average execution. Furthermore, there are just so many bricks (dots) here, that it is virtually unusable. I guess it looks kinda cool. Maybe it should have been named 'An Exercise in Futility'. Heh. Thanks all for the appreciation. @funk_king: Consider it done.

Dear Minimum. I really like your work & your conception. (+ name, + plus concept ... +++) This one - looks great. (to me) But turns me on - 0.00%. IMHO, you should (could, might, etc.) go back to the roots of your name. (Back to the SHAPE OF THINGS -, not back to a SPECIAL EFFECTS department.) Do you want me to laugh or cry?

Comment from minimum

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Haha. "No more special effects." Got it.

Comment from geneus1

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

No more special effects?!? Yeah, I'll be sure to tell that to Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay for the next Transformers movie. "Hey, you guys, could you, like, put less explosions and special effects in this? Thanks!" Manifest and share whatever creative expression inspires you, whether it makes people laugh or cry. Why not do both and show your range. =)

Hehe. Thanks, Geneus1. I was merely agreeing with him because the alternative was getting into an argument. Although, I'm not sure if I have a "range". Even I have no idea what's coming up next. Currently I am struggling with a lowercase 's'. It is winning...so far. ;)

Comment from kix

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

maybe trying the "handwritten" style for an "s"? looks easier, and maybe cooler :)

Can you take a look at mine pls, Pixelo, I created this on the same kinda concept not realising that you have done it before me, lol, but let me know what you think.

This is definitely the best font on FontStruct, but I having some problems with the zip file, every time I download it it turns out to be corrupted. I've tried winrar and everything.

@General_Jackson: I have just downloaded and installed this font to check it - it seems to be working fine. I have sent you a Message, with a few tips on installing fonts. Hope that helps.

Comment from General_Jackson

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Thanks for the message, but that wasn't the problem. I have over 2000 fonts and counting :) but the zip archive was corrupted each time I downloaded it. For some reason, when I ran this window in Compatibility Mode, and then downloaded it, it worked fine. odd... PS p2pnut- loved some of those art deco fonts, they're awesome. I might post a sample...

Of course, lucasjiz. What good is a font that's not used. Post a picture of the design when you are done, please.

It Doesn't Even Come With The Font - You Can't Have It !?!?

Comment from thalamic

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I just did a test download. The TrueType file is indeed part of the .rar file. The font has too many dots though. It takes the OS forever to render it, though. User discretion is advised.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

hey thal, have you tried to update the file and retry it? the last edit date on the file is last year. i recall Rob staying that the FS mortar had been improved and works better but you have to update the file. i would try it. this is such a great font not to be able to use; it would be a travesty.

Great font! What's involved in doing the exact font but reversed perspective so one can make words where the letters all diminish towards the centre of the word? You could even map the opposite letters to the lower case letters. Really top notch work. Thanks.

Comment from will.i.ૐ

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

With the flip macro, added to the fontstructor by meek well after this conceptual and technical masterpiece was created, reversing the perspective would be a fairly speedy endeavor.

The new work is truly stunning...and yet the fontmortar just can’t seem to crunch it! It seems to chew on it well enough – but then spits out a corrupted file. X/

Comment from minimum

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

@mister.zed: This was planned for a long time. Your comment forced me to go about it. Thanks. @william: Flip worked for only the symmetrical glyphs. The rest had to be rebuilt. Still, done.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Yes, too many disconnected dots. The sample is a PrintScrn of the preview sample.

Comment from will.i.ૐ

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

S & Z could have been rotated – I forgot to mention this type of symmetry earlier. But flipping the full square grid and then selectively deleting was what I meant by ‘fairly speedy’ (or, better still, building them from similar flipped glyph parts). A LOT less total dragging and dropping, for sure! :) Screen capture is clearly the way to go (sad, because I want smooth hi-res builds of the glyphs to work with in a unified single-point perspective – done theoretically via individually glyph scaling ). But, then, I thought upgrades to the FontMortar had obviated such scenarios? I am surprised that it will generate a font file that is corrupted and supply it to fsers. Meek?
