  • a little outside of the art deco era, inspired by astigmatic's "sacramento" and tortoiseshell's "sonoma," while keeping with the californian theme~

Really like how smooth/fluid this looks!

10/10

Comment by Gr4ftY (groan) 22nd february 2026

Wow, i like to much that design but how you do it? Looks good that glyphs.

Comment by Jeyco Adrian (TypoMan Foundry) 23rd february 2026

@Gr4ftY & TypoMan Foundry, thanks!

@TypoMan Foundry, stacking & composite bricks did the trick~

Smooth

Comment by Abdulbariyunos 6th march 2026

Wonderful curves. I wonder if there is a way to smoothen out those litlle kinks. Did you work with 2x2 filters?

Comment by four 6th march 2026

I like the fluency, but I wonder how it would look if the weight of some letters like B, E, S was shifted form top to bottom. This "top heavy" style is not my favorite

@Four I tried it my self earlier (with 2x2 filter), but could not find satisfactory solution fast, other than just not zoom in too much :-)

Cursive smooth

Comment by Abdulbariyunos 6th march 2026

Can You do unicode!

Comment by valentimms 6th march 2026

here's an example of "E" utilizing composites, nudging, stacking and the 2x2 filter

Comment by caterpillar's.kimono 7th march 2026

four, i've done my darndest to smooth it, unfortunately my skills are limited given the size i've opted for with my fonts, hope it's still satisfactory :)

petruuccio, the top-heavy style was intentional, but i do like the idea of trying something more bottom-heavy in the future!

valentimms, no unicode plans for the time being, apologies~

Comment by caterpillar's.kimono 7th march 2026

It's most likely going to require the use of external font editing software to smooth out the kinks… Pretty nice font regardless.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) 7th march 2026

It looks like Lego® typography.

Comment by Frodo7 7th march 2026

frodo7, entirely by chance, love the sample :)

Comment by caterpillar's.kimono 7th march 2026

@Frodo7 that wasn't what i thought you meant with "Lego (R) typography"

Comment by Luca P. B. (elliqvl) 7th march 2026

@Frodo7: This sample is totally genial, Maestro! Something about a new font looking like this coloured letters?

Comment by elmoyenique 7th march 2026

Btw, all FontStruct can be see like a kind of Lego typo world, IMHO.

Comment by elmoyenique 7th march 2026

It's not a sample, but an actual photo from Pinterest. There is a niche trend of Lego lettering and printing with coloured ink on paper.

@caterpillar's.kimono: The number 4 is underwhelming. Why don't you put some curved part in it?

Comment by Frodo7 8th march 2026

the 4 has been updated, more in astigmatic's style and hopefully less underwhelming~

Comment by caterpillar's.kimono 8th march 2026

@caterpillar's.kimono: I'm new here, great font btw.  I'd ignore the negativity, nothing about that font is underwhelming.  I don't think everyone manages to grasp the finer points that exemplify a good critique.
