Ignore the preview window. View the sample.

[If you are going to use the preview widget, slide the PXL setting to around 60% point.]

A long while ago, I came across some logo or font or something that said something like 'raptor' or 'captor' or something. This font owes its existence to that...er...logo. But it has been futzed with umpteen number of times so it only has a distant cousin look to the original. I searched and searched my files but couldn't find the original. Checked google, bing, behance and logopond too; no luck.

I wasn't too sure at first - then I played with the sizes and looked at the Sample text as well and ... I like it a lot :) 10/10

Thanks, Ray. Interestingly, those fine lines through the font makes it so that the sample size is the only size this font can be used at. So much for the TrueType. Let's just call it a huge bitmap font.

PS: Is it just me or is anyone else feeling nostalgic about fontstruct days of yore? 2007 to 2009, I mean. Can you even have a recent-past nostalgia?

Comment by thalamic 13th july 2010

i like the these very original shapes using cleverly a so reduced set of bricks, the construction game feeling, the assumed modularity...
You evoke Fontstruct in 2007-09, i wasn't there, could you tell me more of those days ?

I share the same feeling as p2pnut

This font is awsome, the sample convince me. I love IT, numbers are great. those littles lines through glyph come out very well. 10

I know what you mean about the "days of yore". :)

A remarkable new font demonstrating the never fading creativity on FS. Some letter forms are so innovative, so brilliant, it would take long to enumerate all their beauties. Let me focus on just one feature: the horizontal and some times vertical notches. These junctures (a term borrowed from woodwork joinery) work on many levels, connecting the individual glyphs into seamless text, and enhancing some of their components. The result is nothing short of amazing. 10/10
