Little experiment of mine, trying to design a script font that really connects all the letters. As you might guess from the quality of the uppercase, I started with lowercase and had quite some trouble finishing the uppercase... And I know there are (obviously) always the connection strokes peaking out at the end any word, but funnily this imperfect look has started to grow on me during the fontstructing.
I also know there are still lots and lots of inconsistencies and letters that badly need a rework, but I thought the constructive criticism of my fellow fonstructors might be more helpful and efficient at improving this... So I'm grateful for any suggestions!:)
Oh, and yes: The kerning is very painful at times, but I can't see how I can improve that under the constraints of the script and the character forms. And obviously the script thing doesn't work with uppercase only text.

052610. Another quick experiment with thin bricks. 1920's Broadway feel.
121114. Revisited the curves and smoothed out everything using subtle nudges.

Inspired by stitching works on some designer demin jeans.

The LOWERCASE characters are the real strength of this font.

Warning: Work in progress. I'm just putting it up because it finally has a complete lowercase alphabet & so is actually usable in limited cases.
The goal with this project is to create a humanist italic close to a Caslon, but within Fontstruct limitations. The x-height here is actually quite small: 6 blocks tall.
This one seems to stand small point sizes surprisingly well. At larger sizes, it begins to look jagged but that's actually kind of nice. Of course kerning is all over the place. Not to mention the lack of capitals, punctuation, etc. There will be changes. Use with caution.

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.

A pixel-city. That means it is a pixelated city. A city that is made of pixels. PIXELS, not bricks.
The letters are as follows:
A--Capitol building
B--Plain building
C--Building cluster 1
D--Factory
E--Building cluster 2
F--Building cluster 3
G--Twin buildings
H--Building cluster 4
I--Bridge
J--Skyscraper #1
K--Central Park
L--Huge Building
M--Double Skyscrapers
N--Plain building #2
O--Plain Building #3
P--Airport
Q--Skyscraper
R--Burned-down building
S--Burned-down building 2
T--Space Needle (creds to my friend)
Space--Road
I'll probably add more buildings. Maybe another factory... I dunno.

Xerro. Because it started with the o, and it looks like zero, even though there's no numerals. Another faux bezier helveticaesque looking sans serif experiment. Lowercase for now.

Another idea that bubbled in my head: a font defined by their shadows, a memory of years ago, when my eyes moved quickly to see everything and I marveled at all.

A glyph made with glyphs, I dreamed this image and I could not take it off of my mind untill I've crafted this that you see. It's a little joke about the matrix of our creations... and now it lives in FS.
