*Updated to 26 characters*
I started this Fontstruction with a blank canvas and blank mind, and decided to draw my phone (guess which one that is!) to just warm up. Before I knew it, the idea for the whole design was staring me right in the face. Hopping around the internet, looking for images and information on which phones to draw was great fun. Who knew that the first ‘personal communicator’ was the IBM South Bell Simon, which combined the features of a mobile phone, a pager, a PDA, and a fax machine. Yes, you read that right! The Simon was also nine inches tall.

A font based on my handwriting. This took ages to make (but was a good relaxant from all my studies cuz now is exam period >.<). It came as a surprise how grotesque my handwriting was -- in all meanings of the word.
BTW (in case you didn't know) the name is derived from the word 'ambidextrous'.

More of an exercise than something I actually like.
It's not quite finished either - a few creases need ironing out, although it does seem to work well at all sizes.

Yep another blackletter. This is my first font. I Love blackletter and its formal/modular structure seemed an obvious choice for fontstruct. I wanted something kinda simple and stripped back with caps that integrated well and didn't bring too much attention to themselves. That capital N brings attention to itself...

I was a little bit bored, and this is what happened.
The name is because I have no idea what the origin is, and it's a little ugly.

A basic design which was used for me to dip my toe into the use of 2:2 filters.

As complete as it is likely to get.
Apologies to non-English language users, but adding diacritics would be too big a task (involving between 50 - 150 brick stacks per glyph). If anyone wants a specific diacritic, for a particular use, contact me and I will try to add it.This is a clone of RM Romantic Carved FS1

Alternate Ligatures: (worth copying)
¬ = ct
` = st
~ = f (s)
^ = ft (st)
# = fh (sh)
AE, ae, fi, fl, f (s) and the long s are in their places within the More and Extended Latin sets (thanks to riccard0 for his advice on the last two).This is a clone

The LOWERCASE characters are the real strength of this font.

Fimbriae is apparently irretrievable - so this is the latest incarnation, largely faithful to the original. I'm not yet happy with the V and W, but I need to step back for a while. As always, hints and suggestions are most welcome.

An exercise in creating a classical Roman style font in FS
I am currently working on an extended and modified version of this ... which I can't help calling 'New Romantic' (I really should resist these urges).
