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 :)

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.
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).
Reverse in the visual context can mean many things. I decided to create letters and mirrored them, attaching them to a spine.The letters looked like filigree jewellery pendants.
I know that the I , T and W don't follow the design rule; I tried to align them on a spine but the result was unsatisfactory.
This is a cloneInitially made for NW & SW European members' languages this typeface has grown over time to include glyphs for most European languages. My friend Ray will be happy to see Welsh and my friend Johneen can write in Maori :)
Thanks to TCWhite I've found the 2E2E point to place my favourite punctuation/symbol correctly.
I've sent this to be rewiewed for Google Fonts. Having done so I'm stuck, I don't know how to proceed there: how can I get people to look at it, comment?!
This is a clone of MasterClass 1For Sándor. The font has upper and lower case. Having 'played' with the baselines for the letters I decided that this font looked better with LC letters aligned at the top rather than on the base line. The font has basic Latin and most glyphs of the more Latin set, and I added the Polish diacritics.
I love the traditional French biscuits made on the French west coast where Loire meets Atlantic.
The biscuits are thin, crunchy, light, not too large, not very sweet, melt on the tongue, and biscuits very like the original can be made/baked quite easily.
The traditional version has a limited range of letters, enough to write the name of town, manufacturer and product. I've been unsuccessful in finding an image of the font which contributed just a few letters to decorate these biscuits.
I spent some time looking at other type of the Victorian/Art Nouveau era until I had collected enough information to help me design the missing letters. I added the French diacritics, naturally. I think my additions look successful and the whole font looks quite Art Neauveau and in the style used originally.
The square brackets [ and ] make a biscuit shape when used 'blank'.
Bon appetit, enjoy your "Biscuit de l'Ouest".
This is a clone of Petit BiscuitI've added the glyphs I needed for a gift tag.
Naturally I share this extension because that's in the spirit of cloned work.
I found adding the numbers and punctuation marks quite difficult: not only the actual shapes of the bricks and composites and how they join but because keeping the visual effects of joining and linking was surprisingly complicated as I wanted everything to match the feel of the parent font as closely as possible.
If anybody else wants to add further glyphs: please make sure you publish your extension as cloneable, and add your name and year of addition to those already mentioned (in the unicode setting: look for Dingbats)
This is a clone of Koily KordI built this font ignoring all knowledge and experience of brickwork and physics. Yet it stands up to use ;) Work in progress...
This is a clone of Free MasonryJust testing an idea. So far it has given me 2 eye aches ;) and has worn down the Fonstruct eraser to a small chunk. I'll add some more glyphs when Meek has put a big jar of new erasers into the Fontstructor :D WIP
After Dmitriy added the beautiful Cyrillic set I added More Latin and some of that set's punctuation and symbols. That explains the "C+ML" of the name ;) I thought about adding Latin A but at the moment I can't figure out how to set the accents without breaking the ratio between UC-LC heights even further.
This is a clone of ABC C
