Favorite FontStructions from barbizons (Sorted by Sharing Date)

“FS Stein” by Tylo

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:25:27 +0000

1x1 monospaced. No curves. I started with the letters and I tried not to use many different bricks. The other characters have lots of different bricks, but I wanted this one to be complete.

“Filamentous” by chr.s

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:42:55 +0000

Nothing special - uses 0.8 filter setting, so you may need to zoom in a bit to preview it correctly.

“Budino” by Em42

Another fat-heavy-black-squarish font, but with little slab serifs thanks to FontStruct 2.0 features.

“Overfeed” by chr.s

My first Stencil font.

“paperface” by zen_killa

This type face is inspired by creation i've saw on the web. she's working well but not at every size... There some kind of anthropi on screen. I've already create the uppercase, but i'm not able to download them, so i publish only the lowercase here. Zen

“RM Ameslan (ASL) Fingerspell” by p2pnut

ASL is not a written language, but this font should, hopefully, assist anyone wishing to learn ASL. The following is a quote from Wikipedia: "American Sign Language (or ASL, Ameslan) is the dominant sign language of the Deaf community in the United States, in the English-speaking parts of Canada, and in some regions of Mexico. Although the United Kingdom and the United States share English as a spoken and written language, British Sign Language (BSL) is quite different from ASL, and the two sign languages are not mutually intelligible ASL is often written with English words in all capital letters, which is known as glossing. This is, however, a method used simply to teach the structure of the language. ASL is a visual language, not a written language. There is no one-to-one correspondence between words in ASL and English, and much of the inflectional modulation of ASL signs is lost. There are two true writing systems in use for ASL: a phonemic Stokoe notation, which has a separate symbol or diacritic mark for every phonemic hand shape, motion, and position (though it leaves something to be desired in the representation of facial expression), and a more popular iconic system called SignWriting, which represents each sign with a rather abstract illustration of its salient features. SignWriting is commonly used for student newsletters and similar purposes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language

“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:

“Escheresk” by Tobias Sommer (shasta)

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:07:25 +0000

I intended to make some sort of an M.C.Escher tribute here. I'm sorry this isn't very complete and far from being perfectly well done, but it somewhat started to make me feel dizzy...;) And even though I'm not very convinced by this, I don't think I'd come up with a way better execution soon.

I hope for Mr Escher that there are better tribute fonts for him out there! He'd definitely deserve it...

It was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it. (If you can call 42 characters "finished".)

Also check out Frodo7's Hommage à Escher, geneus1's IsoMatrix 3D, and funk_king's Soma for some other great Escher-esque fontcrafting!

“Foldstruct” by Stelios Constantinides (sconstantinides)

Inspired by "Inbetween"

“IsoMatrix 3D” by geneus1

Wed, 14 May 2008 10:41:52 +0000

Mostly inspired by the video game QBert, which was, I'm sure, partly inspired by M. C. Escher. IsoMatrix was a font long before Fontstruct, and was much harder to realize with bricks than vectors. This one is shared thanks to the intricate 3D output of the following fontstructors: shasta's Escheresk, frodo's Hommage a Escher, and funk king's Soma. It is also released for Em42, because it was created purely with the original set of bricks that Fontstruct started out with.
