“chalk” by innomin

Sat, 10 Jan 2015 05:52:30 +0000

A small pixel font designed for general speech, and to work well with admin. If chalk is talking, admin is mumbling. It is built on 2-wide whitespace, where admin was built on ultra-narrow 1-wide gaps, but both should appear to be a similar script. Standard rules apply. All numbers are 4 wide (so code numbers change gracefully), ([{, O/0, and Il| are easily distinguishable. This is a working general purpose pixel font, and I'm pretty happy with its range! =) Oh, and that accent on lowercase m's is something I really like! I might put that into admin at some point...

“Computer says no” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Thu, 27 Feb 2014 21:54:39 +0000

Something as simple and boring as a monospaced, octagonal, sans serif font. But it has great unicode support!

“camp jarvis” by tortoiseshell

Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:44:49 +0000

Trying a new wooden plank style inspired by the classic campground sign. Seemed comical for such a low-tech font to be named after such a high-tech character. Please enjoy

Look at the reflection.

“Modern Serif” by 19andyl

This was suppose to be a hand-written font and it was suppose to look like it was connected to a robot.

“Dorés Comedia ” by Martin Bodger (Arty_Marty)

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 01:15:06 +0000

Part of my "Found Type" project at UWE where we had to design a font for a theme that we chose. I chose Saintly. Throughout my research, I looked at the architecture of churches, the similarities in there designs and how certain shapes could easily be recognised as being linked to that type of architecture. I then started looking at Dante Alghieri's Divine Comedy and the illustrations by John Flaxman and Gustav Doré. At first it became difficult trying to figure out how to implement this into a font, but then I took on a challenge, Would it be possible to get Doré's engravings into the font. Then another thought crossed my mind, how do images look when compressed to low pixel quality sizes and how they are still recognisable. So I did that, I bought a book of Doré's illustrations for the divine comedy, and they started to build into the letters. Each letter also has this Art Deco like area to it which went well for the Stain Glass Window approach I also wanted in the design. It took a lot of practice to get this right, and there was a fair amount of copy and pasting here and there but overall I'm quite happy with the turn out. I hope you all enjoy!

“Get Your Font To Mars” by Goatmeal

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:26:08 +0000

Guess what movie I just watched again? A mostly accurate font inspired by the movie "Total Recall" (1990). Consider it an experiment in using the 2x vertical filter.

**2017 08-13 Update** Taking advantage of the expanded brick-stacking minimums, I have modified the following glyphs: A a R r S s Z z 2 7 ? _ +

The diagonal leg of the R is still not quite correct; further attempts might be made in the future.

I have also removed the 2x vertical filtering. We are back to good old 1x filtering now.

“Archly Gothic” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

Sat, 09 Oct 2010 05:27:57 +0000

When the new arc bricks were unleashed upon fontstructland, I attempted several different styles incorporating this new maximum curve. My first drafts revealed the direction I was heading. I wanted to create a flawless geometric, technical sans lowercase with a touch of calligraphic flair (there are some optical correction issues in the result, e.g. with the e). For the uppercase, I intended maximum style without sacrificing too much coherence – why lose any of the best bits?

Brush script, art deco, classic engraving, three genera of gothic (sans serif, blackletter, and ancient alphabet!), runic, hieroglyphic, and yet still some futuristic tendencies all informed me. But do they blend?

The handwritten quality of a broad-nibbed pen or skillfully wielded marker provides the binding agent. An emulsion of all these influences, it is at once all and none. Even the strict modularity begins to melt into the background. Yet so distinctly fontstruct...

“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.

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

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

“Pushpins” by aphoria

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 14:10:38 +0000

It is supposed to look like pushpins and string. The uppercase contains each glyph with pushpin and string. The lowercase contains just the pushpins to make it easier to change the color of the pins by overlaying. For the numbers, the number contains the pins and string, while SHIFT+number contains just the pins.

Clone of terminal fun.

“EDGE” by aMANinDESIGN

Thu, 16 Sep 2010 07:28:12 +0000

Minimalist geometric font with hard angles, it's as much about the negative space as the positive. Inspired by the theory of cutting metal. Designed by John Alexander http://www.amanindesign.com/

“SpartanTech” by geneus1

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 01:31:35 +0000

It's the official release day for the highly anticipated Halo:Reach video game on the XBox360! A great excuse to build a Halo related fontstruction. This one was inspired by two Halo 3 multi-player game maps featuring Spartan related technology: Citadel and Guardian. The patterned techno-motif textures on the architecture in these maps are impressively adorned everywhere. It's hard not to be inspired. The design just came about after messing around with some shapes yesterday. The alternates in the lowercase are actually the first iteration of the design, updates are in the uppercase. Dedicated to my son who introduced me to the amazing Halo universe and encourages my love-hate relationship with the XBox360. He kills me. It's what he does.
