“xe A Stroke of Geneus1” by Logan Thomason (xenophilius)

Sat, 19 Mar 2011 17:12:35 +0000

Inspired by the works of geneus1 (especially Calligraphique). I tried to go for sort of a mixture of black letter, chancery, and heavy metal. I love the way the & turned out (combining the E and t. For those of you who don't know, the ampersand is based off of the Latin word for "and", et), and especially the K and J. By far, this is the best FontStruction I have ever, ever, EVER, EVER made. And probably ever will make.

“Pandemonium” by SophieBalch

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:14:16 +0000

This font was inspired by the word chaos. Initially to me chaos meant incoherent mess, but after looking at chaos theory i began looking at ways to order chaos. To show this in my font I have used a regimented typeface with repeated ideas of thick and thin lines, but juxtaposed this restriction by forming the letters with chaotic scribbles.

“en origami - pencil shaded” by naveenchandru

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:09:18 +0000

Preview at a size slightly higher than the pixel size. Adjust the size to get a pencil shading effect. ----------------------------------- This is cloned from en origami v2. I've added the shading effect to each glyph.suggestions/comments are welcome:)

“RM Nova Albion” by p2pnut

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:33:00 +0000

One of my old designs brought up-to-date with FS 2.0 I have changed the name from 'RM Albion Too' to 'RM New Albion' because, whilst I liked the word play of the former, I thought it was a tad trite (and a bit Anglo-centric).

“Periculum” by geneus1

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:59:54 +0000

Periculum. Rooted in the latin word for 'Dangerous.' This was an experiment in using FontStruct without filters. It reminded me of why I use filters 90% of the time. There aren't as many solutions possible. Periculum died after a bad copy and paste malfunction. The resurrection process was like walking on eggshells, but here it is. Lowercase was rushed a bit just to get it out there for Aphoria. The smoothness comes with the combination of preview scaling and anti-aliasing. It has to be scaled at just the right size to look convincing for on-screen purposes. This makes it more ideal for non-print related usage. 060415. Numbers 101815. Symbols added. Preview looks normal on the font's page, but not on the 'Handgloves' listing.

“Bat Country” by loboarches

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:58:59 +0000

I produced this for my "communicating with words" first year module on the BA(Hons) Graphic Design course at UWE Bristol, England. It pays homage to Ralph Steadman and is a true testament to what you can do on fontstruct, if you’re willing to spend a week in front of a computer in your underpants.

“Hommage à Escher” by Frodo7

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:25:43 +0000

This is my homage to the late Dutch master. I tried to capture the impossible geometry, sense of space, and even the colours of his works. You can see and download the new v2 here:
