A work in progress

Clone of Squarific. I did call it a font family, so here is the second member. Still a work in progress.

“FS Vuvuzela” by kix

OK. Here's "VUVUZELA" A typeface inspired by the continent of africa, but mainly by the WorldCup of soccer 2010 in South Africa! To catch on of the strongest associations for me relating to africa, i chose black and white stripes, maybe to remind of zebras or other animal patterns. But the effect also stands for the "swoosh" of a ball flyin by, for just the the "sporty" feel i wanted it to have. Enjoy it. There's an alternative "a" on "=" cheers kix

“Geodoni Extra Black Condensed” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 05:03:30 +0000

filters: 2x2
x-height: 3 bricks (x2) = 6 grid spaces
cap, ascender height: 4 bricks, 8 grid spaces

Narrow and heavy, ultra bold Piano key designs once required fractional brick scaling to generate their distinctive slit-like counter forms while working with maximum curves. Composite stacks provide a more elegant and versatile solution to this old problem. In this way, they can be seen as an important milestone on the road toward individually scalable bricks...

Letterspacing is kept tight in this fontstruction, but still needs a great deal of manual kerning especially around all the character lacking serifs on one or both sides.

72+ initial downloads done during testing and troubleshooting. More characters to come. Enjoy, and please vote kindly. : )

“fs Kronos” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

Tue, 25 Jan 2011 01:46:26 +0000

filters: 2x2
x-height: 2.5 bricks
cap height: 3.5 bricks
# of unique composites: 220+

The ultra-low resolution of this grid may be difficult to grasp without cloning. Fontstruct’s logo has a nominal x-height of 3 bricks, by comparison.

The level of detail, control, and finesse possible in a given fonstruction depended mostly on resolution prior to the recent advent of stackable composites. Did you want it better? Make it bigger!

Brute force, now meet Elegance.

Instead of building individual glyphs hundreds of bricks tall, stackable composites allow us to design rich modular schemata hundreds of bricks deep. Using curved bricks at their largest scale, linear and curvilinear elements dynamically harmonize and oppose. As well, screen fonts can be effectively hinted (aside from notable lack of kerning controls) without sacrificing the integrity of joins and intersections. And the trapping possibilities, Oh the sweet sweet trapping possibilities...

Please, vote kindly and stay tuned for more :)

This is an octagonal display font with glyphs that are framed or outlined.

“Mushaboom” by Mrgreen17

This is my first fontsruction since studying at Uwe. I started looking at decay before looking into wood decay and the fungi and mushrooms that grow from it. Here I have make each letter resemble a mushroom.

Font is self-descriptive. Guess if I did the UC or LC first!! :D Yes this is the font I have been working on for such a long time...

x-height: 70px
cap height: 94px
optical correction: 1px

“Trelief Rounded” by geneus1

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 05:36:31 +0000

Triline + Relief = Trelief. This one was just waiting for a 2.0 update. Originally worked out in March of last year, synchronously with minimum's fs m.ove.r series, and Lex Kominek's Chocobot Stacked series of tri-line fontstructions. I was unsatisfied with the limited 1.0 curvatures in Trelief, so this was left unreleased. The Trelief series has recently been updated with additional FS2.0 composites for a smoother appearance. The hard edged version of Trelief came easily afterward. 072310

“RM Nova Albion” by p2pnut

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:33:00 +0000

One of my old designs brought up-to-date with FS 2.0 I have changed the name from 'RM Albion Too' to 'RM New Albion' because, whilst I liked the word play of the former, I thought it was a tad trite (and a bit Anglo-centric).

“RM Narrowboat 3D” by p2pnut

Inspired by the sign-writing on traditional UK narrowboats.
