“tm The Limit” by thalamic

Apparently, it is quite easy to forget what gets a fontstruction going. Something about ultra condensed bla bla bla. The rest is just a matter of having a creative activity to occupy the mind. And if in the process you can help out a friend, all the better.

“Zeitparadoxon” by laynecom

Again, I'm publishing this although it is not finished yet. Seems to become a habit ;-) Anyway, the name of this font is the German word for temporal paradox and this should illustrate the fact that I started this typeface as a Times alternative. As you can see, however, it took a very different direction.

I will add more glyphs in the course of time.

“Digital Rome” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

A low contrast serif pixel font for a kerning experiment. Lower case has less space before each letter. So to kern the word 'lovely' write "LOvELy" and the word 'away' should be "Away". Play around with it.

What began nearly 8 years ago as an experiment in multi-stage, multi-resolution pixel serif type drafting (starting smallish then manually upscaling x4), took on the robust character you see here after countless edits and some tricky lessons learned along the way.

The initial weight was on the light side (cloned privately for posterity), so I took a leap into this bookish weight by fattening each glyph copy-pasted 1 pixel shifted both up and to the right. A rudimentary technique, by no means novel, yet almost wholly effective. I saw fit from here to only make a handful of corrections, keeping the slightly rounded and slanted serif shape that resulted as well as the subtle reenforcing of a pen-nib construction.

More intriguing is the 1-bit “anti-aliasing” scheme I found myself progressively guided toward while finding the lines of these curves developing the initial light weight. Implied diagonals and said curves – as well as refinement of contrast – are substantially more granular and specific than had I taken a black-and-white posterized, or stairstepped approach.

At half-resolution, the resulting smoothness is acceptible. This type of hinting will be useful in developing a substitution rule set consisting of subpixel slanted or curved bricks to produce a “vectorized” version.

Indeed, such a process could be purely automated by a proficient developer or properly trained neural network (this would be a really interesting future feature for fontstruct pro – rather than hinting a font after painstaking vector construction, why not reverse the process by way of en vogue ai-assisted upscaling?).

Basic accented charaters and numerals are being added as I churn through the extended character set...

“Dry Heat (isolates and initials)” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:51:40 +0000

Clone of Dry Heat (medials). I wanted to make a vertically heavy font, and what better sources of inspiration than Arabic script and Western typography. I think it made a good mix; it seems very desert like.

Sort of like an old script, huh? Feel free to clone it if you want to check it out. Feel free, also, to download it, if you want to make me do this face :), only in real life. Any suggestions for the letters? As it stands, it's W.I.P., and if anybody has any suggestions, throw em out there.

“Paradoxx” by geneus1

02012011. Large Scale, minimal brick usage. 90 grid spaces high, 26 brick shapes.

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

Version 2.0

A winning, small-matrix rendition of this super-elliptical monoline sans. If you’d like, please enjoy a private clone to tour the brand-spankin’ new interiors.

I embraced innovation at the expense of imperfection with faux-curve composite stacks. These custom bricks are used to resolve the most glaring proportion issues besetting version 1 (and 2’s) capitals. I risk intermittent aliasing as well as potential inconsistencies in both curvature and stroke contrast. Yet these composite-stack discontinuities (A,C,D,G,J,O,Q,S,U,V) marry unexpectedly well with the extensively used macaroni bricks and remain themselves smooth up to an impressive 72pt.

Manual kerning leaves a lot of room for improvement. The alternates are included mostly for curiosity’s sake. Another work in progress with samples to follow. Feedback is always very appreciated; thanks in advance for it! :)

“7:12 Serif Italic” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:30:12 +0000

Clone of 7x12PixelMono. This time Italic, which basically is a redesign of the whole set - Whew! - Still strictly 7x12 pixels though. As you can see it doesn't cover nearly as much as its mother typeface, and it probably never will.

“Cohelian” by estlib

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:11:04 +0000

Font version of an alphabet i thought of in school. NOTE! The "y" produces another letter that is a replacement to y and is spelled as "ji" but "Y" produces the regular y. NOTE 2! this font is best used with size 12.

My first Font. Please tell me if it's any good since I haven't done any serious Field-testing yet. There might be some problems with certain letters.

Clone of Sophistry Serif Modular. I tried one of my new ampersands; there's a more traditional one at the ^ key. │▓▓▓▓▓▓░░▓▓▓▓▓▓│ │▓▓▓▓▓░░░░▓▓▓▓▓│ │▓▓▓▓░░░░░░▓▓▓▓│ │▓▓▓░░████░░▓▓▓│ │▓▓░░░█░░░░░░▓▓│ │▓░░░░████░░░░▓│ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ ╘════KOPIMI════╛ -For the glory of God
