Very entertaining, geneus1. I am admiring the consistency of this font. However, I am surprised that this is rated highest between your fonts. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but IMHO your hulk and weaver fonts are much better.

@hisham4444: i dont think you can compare this fonts in any way, but i think this rubik-one needed a lot more creativity and a brilliant idea than for example the hulkfont...which is great indeed. + i like the "barely legible"-tag :)

Thank you all for the kind words. I am tempted to name my next creation "The Meteoric Interplanetary SuperDuperBrilliant Alternate Reality Disco Ball Font."
hisham4444: I am often surprised and entertained by the FontStruct rating system. I am grateful for each and every vote. Since they are largely out of my control, I like to sit back and watch the ratings as if I let "the kids" go up and down on a rollercoaster. Only I know who the kids really are, how complex they are, their uniqueness, their strengths and weaknesses, but letting them go allows me to see how the world sees them, whatever the score.
kix: FYI- I don't really compare "the kids," but for me, the HulkSmash font required greater creativity and technicality per glyph. For Rubrix, once I created the foundation for the cube design, the rest was fairly simple since everything was pretty much confined to a 3x3 matrix. For HulkSmash, twice as many bricks were used, the grid space was taller and wider, utilized scaled and overlapping bricks, and an original font designed to be sliced and shifted and smashed in different places on each character, all while attempting to look non-modular.

ok... i didn't see it that way, but it sounds pretty logic.

Best font i've seen in a while... ...just out of curiosity, how long did it take to make?

@qwertyacme: Thanks, but if this is the best you've seen in a while, you should keep looking thru the gallery. ;-) You know, if I kept track of how much time I've spent fontstructing, it would probably make me wonder why I've spent so much time fontstructing. On this one, its been so long I don't really know anymore. Over six days, it gradually grew from concept to concept, but in the end it was fairly easy because a blank cube was simply copied to each glyph, then edited. This was actually a spin-off of a private fontstruction that led to a crazy version actually called T.M.I.S.D.B.A.R.D.B.F. which led to this.
