I joined Fontstruct to get special fonts for greeting cards I made. Over the years I have learned a lot from seeing the incredible variety of fonts created by members who are using just simple bricks, artistic experiments and a lot of patience; when cloning is allowed I can see and understand fine details to help me develop further, increase my confidence and stimulate my imagination.
I love to design and make fonts for family, friends, for special occasions, and to replace some of those more 'usual' basic fonts on my computer :)

We used to have sheep and I wanted a sheepy font for a project. The sheep have quite clear letters in smaller size but the sheepy shape is less obvious. This is my first font and I will improve it to get a better shape/outline (thankyou to Fontstruct).
The ideal font for overwintering in the comfort of an old-fashioned bed.
The "Broomsticks" font will be published later (much much later due to lack of time and too many ideas regarding representation) as it is part of my Witchy Fonts cycle.
I was playing with tiles and designed this font as units to create visual texture. Hiding letters in them came to me by accident when I did an overlay instead of a straight copy-paste. The letters are pleasently difficult to see - but for tiling interesting units in large sizes this font should be suitable.
A long time ago I doodled some glyphs on paper and recreated them in the Fontstructor. They took definite shape with the variety of bricks available as I adjusted the design when actually working with the bricks. The original glyphs became part of a new font which stayed dormant for a long time because I had other font projects to work on. While looking for a font to suit my font-a-month series I revived this design, polished the UC, added LC and numbers. The airy look is ideal for summer as ot looks like bites taken out of grilled food.
Hope you enjoy this year's summer foods :)
I was inspired by the recent influx of minimal-grid fonts. I wanted to see if I, too, could manage to get a readable font with very few blocks and a small grid. This is a 3x3 font. I've used full square, indent square and quarter circle bricks. Maybe I can add a few more punctuation marks and symbol glyphs, but I found this size very restrictive. I have not looked through the fonts created since FS started, I suspect that what I have built here has already been done and apologise to any earlier creator but I honestly didn't copy nor clone your work.
This font has been made for my grandson who adores anything 'computer' although he is only a little over 1 year old :) I hope he'll like the 'technical/electronic' look of "his" font :) when he is old enough to use his dad's computer for homework (or writing to me?) ...
