“NCD Edding 5.0” by djnippa

Sat, 09 Oct 2010 05:27:53 +0000

A TRUE HAND WRITTEN font.
No two letters are the same, or use any of the same brick configurations.
From my very own hand using an Edding 5.0 Calligraphy pen.
Only the upper case is available for now. Due to a heavy work load this week, and several non-starter comp entries, I've unfortunately been unable to fully complete the lowercase and numerals. :-(
Hope you like it.
All comment and crits appreciated.

“Stampede!” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

A burly wood type design kickin’ up some dust on the old trail. This is an all caps corral – however some unicase and rough & tumble alternates seem to have stowed away in the back of them there parts.

The adhesive black tape is good for plumbing and many other things. Add to us and type with it, it's cheap and funny.

Started with letters defined by a zigzaging marker, and ended up with letters defined by a folded ribbon.

"Who needs macaroni (bricks) if you can have ziti*?"

*Long hollow pasta rods that you break in shorter pieces before cooking.

“allegorica 2.0b” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:12:51 +0000

Re-fontstructed with composite bricks, finally an uppercase that works with this strange mash-up of a design. Latin-A is a mess of alternates and swashy ideas (for now). I may update them with proper diacritics, a suite of swash caps, and the rest of the characters from the original. Numerals need revising to fit the cap height. Enjoy this beta!

“FS Burtonesque” by kix

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:01:30 +0000

This is originally inspired by a typeface i've seen on a wedding/congratulation card. In the process of crafting the glyphs it turned out more and more like a font, perfect for horror, goth emo stuff. A little bit as you know them from Tim Burton movies/introductions. So this is why it's name is an homage to Tim Burton and his morbid, ingenious and unique way of visualising movies. Enjoy! Harr, harr... It also contains some ligatures (which i integrated into the sample) and alternative glyphs. Like for example an "o" without thedecoration in the middle... Alternative "a" = @ Alternative "z" = $ Alternative "o" = % Alternative "j" = ] Double "t" = # Double "f" = | Double "l" = _

Alternate version of Erika. With decoration on caps. :)

“fs I-Tilic” by thalamic

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:03:59 +0000

Inspired by a picture found on this website.

Another diagonal line font so soon after fs Overlap. A mere coincidence. The application of each is very different. Overlap is about negative space while I-Tilic is about patterns and meta shapes. Post samples if you end-up playing with this fontstruction. Have fun.

[ = fi ligature
] = ti ligature
< = background fill (negative)
> = background fill (positive)
` = reverse tile (above base line)
~ = reverse tile (full height)
{ = top border
} = bottom border
| = side border

Well, these old typewriters don't last forever.

“Chauncey” by Em42

A simple-minded font, grown up in the backyard of a lovely little mansion.

“djangogh” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:36:15 +0000

tryin’ hard, I got screwy.

greek and cyrillic shaping up;
more characters to come... [update April, 2013:: The basic latin set has morphed into a new gothic sans design thanks to a host of solutions enabled by the new propeller bricks.]

“Scanografia” by cayo

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:58:09 +0000

This my recreation of my own handwriting fontstructed with a vertical line/stripe pattern (I know it's bad calligraphy, but don't tell Claude Dieterich I did it, please).
I used a fountain pen 1.1mm stroke to get my samples written down in order to have a basis.
My UC leans slightly to the left and my lc to the right; must be the graffiti influence from way back in the day. No wonder I only type nowadays...

13.09.09 alternative s added.
located instead of the long s → Unicode:017f (Alt + 0383)

14.09.09 More Latin Diacritics added.

“RM Entrees” by p2pnut

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 10:42:45 +0000

Based on an idea from the Ent-wife it took a long time to arrive ... but then Ents are never hasty ... hhrrrrrmmmmnnnnhhhhh ... no, never hasty.

“Staring at The Sky” by chr.s

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:49:41 +0000

A mono-height, 60s inspired font. I'm not 100% sure about some of the uppercase characters - mostly the later ones... so all comments are gratefully recieved. Oh, and more latin characters are on the way...

“FS Terence Kill” by kix
