Clone of Sketchy [the font here was previously named Zmoothed Zketchy & 'Zketchy Zmoothed Caps (Preview)' was spawned from it, but I decided I liked 'Sketchy Ink' to make it a sort of family name].
As two or three people have expressed interest and encouragement with this project, I can easily say that is my most anticipated font to date. ;)
I renamed it and smoothed out its pixelated origins. I hope you like it. If you use it, I'd love to hear about it (but that's not required).
OK, July 4th (USA's Independence Day) 2014 and I'm going to release/publish it. I still have some characters to smooth the jagies out of, but all of the upper and lower case basic latin letter set characters are done, and some of the punctuation, as well (the same punctuation as the preview I released with the upper case letters). Happy Birthday, U.S.!
Of course, it's not done yet. Right now the Basic Latin letterset and the © are done. I think the TM, TEL and SM symbols, and perhaps my logo. But I wanted to make sure that a couple of people knew I was working on it.
The numbers are simple cards with dots because I am still using this font to protest our poor education system, and how my son works way too hard at math in order to learn because we teach our kids so terribly poorly (which is why we rank so poor in education against the rest of the world, and why we have so many ignorant people in America).

Restyled clone of Mothership (with no alternates so that this particular style edit is more solid).
This variant makes a departure from the inspiration of the logo and simply tries to tie it all up neatly in a style that is more closely associated with the used on the 'Celebration Day' album. more specifically, Dirigible uses the P and p that is shaped more like the R, r, D and d. I extended the leg of the J, N and P (in the style of the M).
I narrowed the T, U, V and W, then added a long leg to the W and w.
I've added half a block to the underline so that on the lowercase letter underlines will overlap the L and Z and there is no gap.
So that we can still use the lowercase characters whether they follow an L or Z or not, I am getting rid of the end quasi-serifs there (which usually completed the end foot of the L or Z). This should make the font more usable.
I opened up the space between the top and middle cross leg of the B, b, E, e, F and f so that it is more legible at smaller sizes. That created certain alignment problems, so I nixed the second crossbar of the A, a, H, h and 4, then I aligned the remaining crossbar with the others.
I'm not sure where to put the end serif. I was thinking the non-breaking space, but that would destroy some functionality. But I want it easily accessible. I decided to make a period that would work and maybe do double duty as a period. Hope that works.
I took the extra alternates out of this one and added some accented letters in this same style, this time.
I started making a variety of letters that the system didn't copy letters to, as well (just playing with it).

Clone of 70's Style Overlap 3D Extended, which was originally cloned from 70's Style Overlap 3D.
June 26th, 2014:
I'm actually happy with the "glitches" everyone else sees, my eyes complete the suggested lines of the letters.
So.. this one is for all the people that want a more complete version. I renamed it when I cloned it because it's going to require faking it. The '3D' is already faked in with isometrics, but now the isometric geometry is all wonky as I address the glitches with specific letters:
f, p, s, t, v, y and z

Clone of my Sketchy font to show the idea/style behind it. This is just a preview of my Sketchy Ink (just the caps), which is a smoothed version of my Sketchy pixel font (with this one I used more than just the square blocks and tried to smooth it out a bit). There are still some quirky kinks, but I find them appealing. Tell me if I should keep at it, or not. Just to be clear, I renamed this font from 'Zketchy Zmoothed Caps (Preview)' to 'Sketchy Smoothed Caps (Preview)'. It was cloned from 'Sketchy Ink', which used to be named 'Zketchy Zmoothed' when it was private, and that in turn was cloned from my pixel font, 'Sketchy'. Now that 'Sketchy Ink' is publicly available freeware, this preview all caps font is simply redundant and incomplete. You may as well download or clone 'Sketchy Ink' and use that one, unless you don't want all the lowercase letters. I still have some dingbats to smooth in 'Sketchy Ink', but all the letters are done.

Clone of Lead Balloon (by me). Redesigned version that won't exactly replicate the logo of the greatest rock band of all time, but it looks pretty good, anyway. There are plenty of alternates, so if you don't like it, just clone it and switch out the version of the letter you like, or make your own. I still have some things to do... The spacing on the L is off. I will make the q smaller... etc... June 11th, 2014: OK... I think I fixed the spacing on the L and started playing with all my other projects when I noticed that Rob Meek made Mothership a Top Pick. YAY! LOL. So, I made the Q smaller. Other than that, I'm not sure if I want to change anything else. You can clone it and I have all sorts of alternative characters, or you can make your own. Hmmm... I'm so excited, I'm repeating myself. It's my first Top Pick! ;) Hopefully it won't be my only one. OK, the L appeared OK in FontStruct, but it didn't look so hot in Photoshop. I'm trying again.

Clone of 70's Style Overlap 3D. My second attempt at doing a font in honor of Robert Crumb. Of course, it's really isometeric, as it would be impossible to do 3D without some sort of a holographic font format. ;) This version uses a larger grid than the original, although I didn't get on a scale where I was able to employ any faux curves. This is probably better since the quirkiness of the rounded corners gives it a cartoony feel, anyway. I still have to tackle the ampersand. I probably won't do much else with it other than correct any found flaws with the FontStruct community's help. Let me know if you see any issues or have a better solution that what I put out there. If you do anything with it, I'd love to hear about it! June 25th, 2014: Updated the 4, K, the Primes and removed some extra K's.This is a clone of 70's Style Overlap 3D

Clone of vengeance 2012.
It's supposed to look like someone took their finger and smeared the center line of all of the letters. Smooshed or smudged? Smush!
July 14th, 2014: Added my initials and logo in the Specials letter set (along with all the other artists' initials and/or icon/avatar), and the TM, TEL and SM symbols in the Letterlike Symbols letter set.

Clone of Pursuede. Pursuede was a derivative of the lowercase set of characters I was doing in Western Breeze and Broadbill. I was surprised that so many seemed turned-off by the mid arch style that sometimes gave loops a topsie-turvey look. Pursuede is one of my favorite fonts, compact and small in size as well as memory load. This version, Pursuite, tries to offer a simplified regular sans-serif style without the excess styling that Pursuede enjoys. Pursuite shares the same character traits of Pursuede, it is small, compact and offers a small memory imprint despite its larger character set. Pursuite won't be done until I at least get all the latin characters in that I can. There will be some I might not be able to do, but I do want to attempt them all (eventually). That will take some time. I might add other characters, as well. Comment below if you have any requests. Pursuite is a work in progress. June 6th, 2014 Used some nudging to straighten-out a few of the characters and make some smaller punctuation signs. I'm not exactly done at the moment, but I have to get ready for work. Also changed the spacing overall, as well as the spacing for specific characters.This is a clone of Pursuede

Clone of exsample Trimmed Mixer. When I originally cloned 'exsample Trimmed' I expected to reverse all the angles, originally calling it 'exsample Trimmed Reverse', but once I had just done the capital letters, I thought that it works pretty good that way and renamed it to 'exsample Trimmed Mixed'. With this version, I clone that mixed version and set out to finish what I had started by reversing the rest; lowercase letter angles, numbers and certain punctuation.This is a clone of exsample Trimmed Mixer

First of all, I have to say that I have admired p2pnut, djnippa & winty5's fontstruction works for quite some time. But when I copy the bricks and look at them I am kind of lost. Then, along came Spacerock Light by LexKominek. Really, those seemingly perfect circles stunned me. Not that I haven't run into them before, I just never realized that I could clone them, before. So I decided I had to try something along the lines that these guys were doing. But I was still overwhelmed by all those blocks. I copied one character from Spacerock Light and already decided to base the whole font on the arc of that circle. Then, I started impressing myself. ;) Basically, I'm trying to build a foundation and then use that as a blueprint for other designs. I already know that Cebrosys will be cloned and redesigned with wider letter forms (M, N, W, X, Y, Z) before I make it public. HISTORY I copied the 'o' from Spacerock Light by LexKominek on August 26th, 2013, but didn't actually start making any other letters/characters until August 30th, 2013. I took a break to work on My hand drawn fonts (4 via MyScriptFont.com and 2, including Milton Serif via PaintFont.com). So far, I have the foundation of Milton Serif Bled Normal, done. I still have to make a few minor adjustments to that one before I release it, but I am pretty excited about it because it offers more glyphs than I have ever done before. If I could only find a decent font editor to run on My computer I would be able to finish it off real quick, but I can't get anything but Fontographer (the demo version, anyway) to run on my system. September 5th, 2013: I finished off all the rounded characters today. Started on the letters that don't have curves. I've decided that I went overboard trying to save space with character width, as the circular characters are much broader. But I have done so many that I am going to finish this version and then clone it and make a better version (working font name, 'Cerebrosys'). September 6th, 2013: Added a subscript ℠, the tiny midline ℡ and the superscript ™ marks. Working on finishing the existing angled characters, cloning it and creating a new version with broader angled line based letters. Then, I will have to narrow up some of the more simple line based characters in Cebrosys (this font). Finished the uppercase characters (Yippee!). Finished the lowercase characters, though I think I will redo the u. Working on punctuation, now. September 7th, 2013: Still working on the punctuation. Added a © and lots of punctuation glyphs. 133 characters @ 2:00am and I still have to start on the numbers, yet. September 16th, 2013: Sidelined by some other projects while My hip heals from surgery. Today I added the ` (Grave accent) ® (Registered Trademark) and the @ (at-sign) symbols. I keep looking at the ` SM and TM thinking they might be too small, and yet I know they are supposed to be pretty small, maybe not that small? Or maybe I am getting it right when everyone else gets it wrong? Yeah, right, that's it. LOL I added the & (ampersand), but it looks a bit wonky to Me, I will have to see what I can do to straighten it later. Added < (less than) & > (greater than) signs, started on the numbers, 0 (zero) is the only one done so far. September 17th, 2013: Added , 1 (one) and 2 (two) in the wee hours and a 3 (three) before my appointment with a web design client. September 18th, 2013: Finished off the numbers. Started work on the curly brackets. October 1st, 2013: I finally have what I think are acceptable curly brackets. I added the upside down exclamation mark, made the C in the Copyright symbol smaller, added a cent sign and an English pound symbol (this one took a while). October 2nd, 2013: I am now at the point where I can clone this one and fix the letter characters according to the style. That is, I will make a new wide font set (with the wide characters I like and extending some of the skinnier ones) and then skinny-ing up the letters in this font. But before I do the clone job, I want to do all the punctuation I need for both sets (doing it one time for both fonts here). So, I am looking back over it and see lots of tiny punctuation I have to enlarge because it is just too small for such a big-ass font. So right now I am having a good long look at, noting and addressing the punctuation issues. Added the universal symbol for currency. November 7th & 8th, 2013: Tried to correct a lot of the punctuation that had just been too light and unnoticeable because I am not used to editing such a large font. Corrected: Overline, undertie, overtie, inverted overtie, the bullet, the Copyright symbol, the SM, TEL & TM marks, the left and right parentheses and the tilde. The tilde may have become too bold, now (note to self), I had lots of trouble getting it to look bold enough and I may have overdone it. I also added the low asterisk and put a big-ass bullet in the hole for the close-up character. Added my logos as the replacement characters. The font is almost ready to fork. I just need to make sure there aren't any characters I want to add. I don't think this one or the next version will be a good web font, it is too light, but eventually I want it to be a web font, so I want to make sure it will have the important characters, dings and punctuation before I fork it. November 9th, 2013: Added a third version of My logo in the Specials letterset group. Started on the Roman Numerals (up to XII, now). The I's, V's & X's all currently have an embellished flair, and could easily be categorized as serifs. February 24th, 2014: Retail kept me busy during the Christmas season. Finally catching up on my own business. Added the roman numerals L (50), C (100), D (500) & M. I used the capital L, C & D of the regular basic roman characters, but modified them and made them alternate characters; the foot of the L is a little longer, the C opening is a bit more closed, while the hoop of the D is a little bigger and more open. For the roman numeral M (1,000) I inverted the W and used it. I will decide whether or not to make them all serif versions or make the I, V & X versions more sans characters, later. I have plenty to do right now and all sorts of adjustments I will be making later as I decide on final looks and style. March 23rd, 2014: Added the character for the roman numeral CD (400). March 25th, 2014: Added the characters for the circled 1 through 10 in the Dingbats group. March 26th, 2014: Made the characters for the circled 1 through 10 more uniform and used them in the Number Form group fractions, in the Superscripts and Subscripts group numbers, the superscript 1, 2 & 3 in Extended Latin, and added the Yen currency symbol. March 27th, 2014: Some of the letters have been bugging me. I updated the O, Q & 0, the u and the v. Added a couple of down pointing triangles that I may make other triangles and/or arrows with. I still have to reconstruct the v, x, y & z, the C and R. I also want to adjust the D a hair. I am also thinking about the E, F, L & T. Once the alphabet is right, I want to copy the letters over to the accented versions. But I also want to complete the graphic characters before I do that too, as this will be the base of the other versions of this family. March 30th, 2014: Working on the Miscellaneous Symbols group for a couple of days. There's a peace sign, male and female signs, sun and earth symbols, as well as a few others. Also worked on the black heart in Dingbats. March 31st, 2014: Redid the R, v, x, y & z. Also redid the Copyright symbol. April 1st: Have much work to do, but I am going to release it as All Rights Reserved until its done. Hopefully, I can get some input and feedback on it. April 13th, 2014: Took some suggestions from Thalamic and made adjustments to some of the characters. I went back to the skinny O and made the 0 (zero) a hare skinnier. I smoothed-out the transition between the top of the S letter's loop and the bottom of the letter S loop. I skinned up the U, E, F & H. After mulling it over, I decided to move the lower arm of the F down in line with the crossbars in the A and the G. This gives it a little bit of a distinction from the E. June 1st - 12th, 2014: Added a corrected Briitsh pound sign (£), working on a script L and added the Lira sign. Added a Euro sign. Went through the characters to revitalize this font with nudging. It really has helped, especially with symmetry, the accents and punctuation. I played with the shape of the curve of the D last weekend. I was never happy with changing the shape of the D to conform with the curves of the O. So, I scratched what I had done, included the new blah D as an alternate character for now, and went back through the characters nudging away while I mulled this over. I do understand the point people are making, it is well deserved criticism. Part of the problem was that I was trying to conform to the rules of the original font. The original font that I cloned Cebrosys from was Spacerock Light by LexKominek. But even though I only used one perfect circle (O) character that font as the basis of this one, that font boasted an economy of bricks. No arch or curve was made with more than a 4 block curve. So I had 3 and 4 block angle slices to use, and some interconnectors, but I was building a font with large curves, now. So I abandoned the original restraint that LexKominek put upon himself (using only one complete quarter arch of bricks that was made of no more than 3 and 4 block angle slices that was rotated according to need for an absolute economy of bricks and optimized filesize and load times). On about June 10th I broke down and added one of the large faux curves brick set and fixed the curve of the D. I have this intended to be a semi-condensed font, but as I hold onto the shape of my D letter's curved side, I don't think it will be any longer. I will probably extend the D's curves to the O, C, Q, etc, now. June 12th, 2014: I added the Euro Currency sign. June 13th, 2014: OK, I added some symbols (happy faces and such) and copied the latin letters to their accent homes and added the accents. Most of the original characters were copied as alternates to the Greek/Coptic or Cyllic lettersets. I also widened some of the characters to address the broader size of my D and O, now, with the new curve in place. Added a little more punctuation, as well. NOTES This is still an active, living work. I have to add some better transmissions using the new faux curve blocks. Personally, I would like some better curve blocks. I am anticipating making more versions. I am still looking for ideas on what dingbats and symbols people would like to have at the ready. ...and No responses, yet. LICENSE Eventually, I want to make this private use Freeware, but I keep releasing stuff and then spend a day or two correcting issues. So this time I'm going to just keep it All Rights Reserved for a bit, so that people can see it and help critique it while I finish work on it. FOOTNOTES I like beer. I suppose that's a footnote to Myself. Remember, GO BUY BEER! ;) Anyone can help me with that, BTW, if you feel so inclined. ;) The Meek will inherit the earth for being so good to us with this ultra cool font building tool.

This font was supposed to be something totally different, but I made the lowercase characters way too small. Then I looked and I liked the few I did, so what the heck, I started another pixel font. This is not the final, it is just something for me to toy with without thinking too hard about how to make the puzzle pieces fit. Sat., April 12th, 2014: Added the capitals from A to O. I'll work on the others, later. Time to sleep. ;) Sun., April 13th, 2014: I finished all the main letters and some punctuation. I am not going to create any numbers for this in memorandum... In memorandum of the fact that math came between my son and I, as well as between my father and I. I am not rebelling against math, it's just that my son is so good at it that he spends all his time working math problems and it robs time away from our time together. With my father, he was always pushing math on me and I was so upset because once we got to geometry & trigonometry I was expected to take formulas on faith, but everyone refused to show me how the formulas worked when I was expected to show all of my work, always. I rebelled against the hypocrisy of a logic system that refused to conform to the very logic it was supposed to represent. Note that I am highly in favor of math skills. I am more rebelling against the mathematical education system that won't teach math skills correctly, effectively, or even efficiently. Anyway, there's my little rant. If you want numbers and mathematical symbols, you can put them in yourself. This is Creative Commons Attribution Share-a-like Freeware. Although my Copyright (2014) is maintained over the original work I did to create this Sketchy font, further contribution to the development of this font and any future derivatives are highly encouraged as long as the font remains under the same license in all modifications and re-distributions and remains free for commercial use. I will make a paid version of this font available should anyone require me to finish it, but as I said, you can do it yourself at FontStruct, easily. Sun., June 29th, 2014... I made the Copyright symbol larger, as I guess it is supposed to be.

Clone of zilverstone eYe/FS by elmoyenique on July 26th, 2013. I simply used elmoyenique's zilverstone eYe/FS as a learning tool. I'm not done with it yet, but I think that it now has taken on a character of its own, so I'm making it public. I've learned quite a bit from this font, but also can tell I have a lot left to learn, too. Added a slash, hyphen/minus sign and an equals sign. Saved using Unicode letters configuration so that it shows up when I archive it at Font-Journal. Thanks to elmoyenique for making it public in the first place. Thanks to everyone else who is helping me along the way, as well (and that's a lot of people).This is a clone of zilverstone eYe/FS

This is based on the SDSU (South Dakota State University) logo. I'd been wanting to make this font for some time, but always have so many open projects that I never got around to it. Well, finally, I did it. Of course it's very simple, which makes it so easy. All there are here, are capitals and numbers with a period and a hyphen, because it's really only intended for football jerseys and the like. But the lowercase letters serve as an alternate (and usually skinnier) capital letter. If recreating the SDSU logo, though, the user should use the lowercase (skinnier) version of the caps. The font is usually shown in blue and stroked with yellow. The uppercase versions look a little like the Stanford S without the encompassing outline pinstripe just off the letter. But, that's not what I was going for. I corrected the M & W, the E & F & the Q. NOTE: If you had downloaded any earlier version, please note that in the end I switched the uppercase and lowercase letter sets because it looked funny. Now the uppercase have the wider (broader) capitals, while the lowercase characters has the skinnier versions that make for a better, more accurate, SDSU logo. March 23rd, 2014: Just fooling around and added a slash, comma, colon, semi-colon, plus and equals sign.

Clone of Ogon Alpha by Electrica. This font is a work in progress. Electrica used a totally different scale than I am using, but the scale that the font was in presented certain challenges for what I had in mind. So eventually I abandoned tweaking the style and wound-up defining another one, based on the suggestions Ogon Alpha gave me. But as it wasn't working at one point, I abandoned it. Today (14th of March, 2014) I came back to it and decided to try to make a more complete font after destroying Electrica's Ogon Alpha. Though far from finished, as I still have spacing issues and a few other things to address, I added the numbers and some punctuation. When I cloned it, there were only capitals, and so that's what I have so far (I have not tried to tackle the lower case characters just yet). This is by a long shot a step backward from Ogon Alpha, but I need something to play with inbetween my bigger projects and this wound-up being that little thing to toy with for now. 3/19/2014: I'm starting to think that messing with this font was a big mistake. I added lowercase characters and some punctuation. Just walking away from it for a while. 4/13/2014: Revamped the lowercase characters: Nixed the flailing curve on the top of the a. Made the bottom constraint 3 blocks instead of 2. This helped clean-up a great many problems.This is a clone of Ogon Alpha

Clone of fs switch. I really liked opipik's fs switch (obviously) and it taught Me a few lessons in filters. I really liked the style, but I wanted to carry it through a little farther, a bit more extreme. Please note that I think that opipik did a great job on the original fs switch, I simply saw an opportunity for a certain style based on his and am thankful he allowed us all to share in his creation with modifications as well as use. The result is Furthyle. It's kind of fun to play with a little font as a break from working on those really big ones, too. Thanks to opipik for sharing it, obviously it will remain cloneable & freeware. The more I work with this, the more I think I may have seen it before, so I apologize if it's not really new, but I have searched and didn't see one quite the same style (completely). Oct. 2nd: Made My style changes. Added Numbers. Started Punctuation & Symbols. Added the Service Mark, TEL & Trademark Symbols in Letterlike Symbols. Added an alternative SM and My logo in this font style in Specials. Finished off the Basic Latin letter set, started on the first Latin Extended letter set. Oct. 3rd: Flipped the W and w as architaraz so correctly suggested. Oct. 4th: elmoyenique made lots of great suggestions that I was at first resistant to, but he was right in probably every case... I took out the extra space after the W and also the q. I skinnied-up the E, F, K, L. Skinnied-up the f, now. To Do List: I will make the Z and 7 skinnier after I copy some of the custom bricks from my All Bricks clone into it, later. And maybe I can find a custom brick to address the top of the s. I may keep the 0 (zero) the way it is (wider than the letter O), not totally sure yet, still thinking. I kind of like the ? question mark, but taking elmoyenique's critique into consideration since he was right about everything else. This is a clone of fs switch

'Younger Futhark', 'Younger Fuþąrk' or 'Scandinavian Futhark' are just a few of the names given to the runes used by the Nordic tribes from the 9th to 11th centuries. The full Norse runic symbol set consists of just 16 runes, but there is a 'long-branch' set used by Danish which resides in the uppercase letters, and a 'short-twig' set which was used by Norwegian and Swedish peoples that is lowercase. These runes are a reduced form of the 'Elder Futhark' runes of the 2nd to 8th centuries and was used when Proto-Norse evolved into Old Norse. I wanted to make the 'Elder Futhark' runes a part of this font, but there are clashes between the runes used in each of these versions. The term 'Futhark' is derived from the pronunciation of the first 6 symbols of the name. 'Fuþąrk', which reflects the actual first 6 symbols, is also acceptable and there are even Anglo-Saxon variants, as well. As having a Norwegian ancestry Myself, I named this font after the more often used phonetic version because the 'þ' (þurisaz¹) and 'ą' (ansuz²) would probably be challenging across languages, keyboard maps, devices and platforms as far as keeping the name straight. The Elder Futhark Runes were said to have been handed down by the Norse gods and came directly from one of Odin's (aka: Oden or Woden) conquests over the giants. Most believed that runes were magical or holy. But they were used for everything, including graffiti. This "Younger Futhark" font uses the Unicode Letter Sets (so that it will preview correctly on Font-Journal.com and other online font catalog sites). The following letters were used, given in order of how they appear in the Younger Futhark runic alphabet... Younger Futhark Long-Branch Runes: F U Þ Ą R K H N I A S T B M L ʀ Younger Futhark Short Twig Runes: f u þ ą r k h n i a s t b m l ʁ Notice that there are two R/r characters. The last rune is the transliteration of a small latin capital R ('ʀ'), and since I needed 2 different versions of that one, I originally used the "R/r with stroke" ('Ɍ'/'ɍ'), because I couldn't find the small capital R and I knew I needed 2 versions of it for the long-branch and the short branch versions of the rune. I thought if anyone derives something from it, that might be the least used character, and I am willing to listen to better suggestions. But then, I found the small capital R and noticed it had an inverted version with it, so these two small capital R characters ('ʀ'/'ʁ', found in the IPA Extensions Letter Set/Block) are used after all. Also, there are actually two versions of the A/a. The first A/a is actually an A/a with Ogonek ('Ą'/'ą'), but as stated I am still using an 'a' in the name for clarity. It seems everyone is doing the same, anyways. Additionally, I used the following characters to allow easier access to the wayward characters in the Latin Supplemental and both of the first Latin Extended Letter Sets/Blocks: (A with Ogonek) Ą: E (a with Ogonek) ą: e (Capital Thorn) Þ: P (smaller thorn) þ: p (small Capital R) R: Q (or Ɍ) (Inverted sm Cap R) ʁ: Q (or ɍ) After all, there are so few runes it seems foolish to not take some of the space left over after the transliterations which is free in the Basic Latin letter set. E because it was another nearby vowel which can sound similar, P because the Þ (Thorn) looks identical, and Q mainly because of its proximity to the R. Since this version is dedicated to the Younger Futhark runes and does not include a set for the Elder Futhark runes, it just seemed moronic not to do it. I believe that this is a faithful and true representation of the spirit of Younger Futhark runes used by the Norse Viking Hordes (the term 'Viking' actually is a verb that refers to "Raiding/Plundering", BTW). However, these runes were carved into wood (usually the long-branch version) and stone (usually the short twig version) as a part of very circular and flowing designs, often within an overline and underline or scrolls accompanying art, and not so much used in straight lines. Therefore Photoshop text warping effects are encouraged. Because these runes were often used with a line over/under or both, I have included those characters, as well. I am also making a subscript Service Mark and superscript Trademark using the runes. HISTORY: I've been working pretty hard on this since I started it on Monday, August 26th, 2013, only taking breaks for work, eat, sleep and my operation earlier today (Yep, just had to mention that). Released as conditional use Freeware (Copyrighted freely available software from this site or Font-Journal.com) on August 28th, 2013, @ 9:09pm Central Time, under the condition that I get credit for my part in this work and that My contribution as the original artist remains intact and unaltered (see LICENSE, which follows below). On August 29th, 2013, I finally checked out the finished font and was floored when I saw F's all over it. Not just BIG BLACK ASS F's, but HUGE FontStruct LOGOS. And not just as characters, but overwriting My runes so that you couldn't even see them. So, I had to turn around and put a stupid dot in there as a place holder so that the Basic Latin Letter Block wouldn't be overwritten with more F's than I had runes. I gotta tell ya, that's a SPAM move if I ever saw one. A guy can't make a set of runes in the Basic Latin Letter Set without being visually spammed and the all the art overpowered by F's! C'MON MAN!!! We as businesses have to think about our brand. The fact that FontStruct will overwrite every blank character in the Basic with their F'n logo is really smarmy. I can't actually believe that anyone does this. So, after putting one single dot block and changing the width of EVERY damn unused character, I found this site: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/runic.htm ...which offered a few more alternative runes that I could include in the Basic Latin to fill that set up a little. So, now I have some extra alternatives. I tried to continue to keep the long-branch runes in uppercase, and the short twig runes in the lowercase. And apparently Norge had a whole few other options, as well. There are variants of the M/m in the O/o (because there is a dot and a circle variant). There are variants of the Norwegian A/a in the Y/y (because it kinda looks like that). I am a bit confused about the Norwegian 's', it looks like every variant is there in one character. So it probably means that any of them will do. But I figured I'd be safe and put the 3 variants in one character, the unused 'W' (since altogether they resemble it), and the 2 squiggly s runes together in the lowercase 'w' (which still looks similar). Then, I took the inverted Norwegian 's' variant and stuck it in the 'z' hole (because if you turn it on it's side, it looks like it). There is also an alternate short twig 'h' rune that sort of points down, I put in 'g'. I added another alternate, a Norwegian Futhark rune for 'ą'. Because if you capped off the two lower left arms, it would look like a 'd', I put it there and in the 'D' because it isn't actually a short twig rune. I know, the logic is a little weird, but it all has to go somewhere, and that is My reasoning. I finally added the subscript SM and the superscript TM as runes for the heck of it (but I doubt they would be legal/enforceable, even if added to runes). I added the Solidus ('/'), Reversed Solidus ('\') and the Vertical Bar ('|') with an extra little length because those can be handy if needed in setting up those scrolly designs, and they will reach the overline and underline. Then I read that sometimes dots would separate words so I started decorating the unused characters with dots and I can't believe the crap I just crapped out. Jeepers. Needless to say, I won't be doing the Elder Futhark runes (even though there are more characters) because I absolutely hate having to have those lame dots anywhere in with the runes in the Basic Latin letter set. Not unless there is a change in policy here. Because I HATE SPAM! And I don't want to be seen as a spammer, nor do I want to be seen as lame. C'MON, MAN. On September 9th, 2013; I went in and redid the dots. I made dot style punctuation just because to do all the same dot configuration in every unused space seemed drull. This time I used mostly bigger dots so that they did have a presence and didn't look like a piece of dust on the screen when I previewed them. Umbreon126 pointed out the runic character code table I need... http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U16A0.pdf ...although I will probably have to read up a bit more (but the document points to the specific resources I need). I have to reboot to get My browser cache cleared, will be back at it again later, copying the runes into their respective places in the actual runic alphabet character table according to the chart/table above.

ISSUES: Currently, I have the Overline in the Macron character, I need to find where it's actually supposed to be. ;) I still have to find an accurate map of the runes letter set, then I will copy the runes there, but I created these to specifically have keyboard access to them in the first place. I'm also looking for the list of words these runes represented (like the Elder Futhark runes have). FOOTNOTES: ¹) 'þurisaz' is the rune name, which is a Latin Letter Thorn ('Þ' or 'þ'). ²) 'ansuz' is the rune name, which is a Latin Letter A with Ogonek ('Ą' or 'ą'), and ansuz also became the Latin Letter ('Æ' or 'æ'). Most of this info comes from referencing 'Runes' in Wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes Again, this is another font project that I've always wanted to do because of My Nordic heritage, that I finally could do thanks to Fontstruct and the awesome Fontstructor. I apologize if I typoed, misunderstood or miscommunicated anything presented, I'm on pain-killer drugs today. ;)

If shared, distributed, and/or redistributed, it should be as the original archive, with all the files available, complete and intact. 3. Not to be sold, ever, alone or as a part of a larger collection without the expressed written consent of all the authoring parties. 4. License Stipulation for this Font Concerning Modifications: Furthermore, the modification, adaptation, appending, alteration and enhancement of this font are allowed as long as the 2 joined DP Trademarks remain complete, unaltered and intact within this font as the 2 replacement characters in the Specials group letter set. HISTORY: ======== This is a pet project I have been mulling over for quite some time. This is how I used to design my posters in high school, with overlapping print. I think I got in this habit after checking out one of those "Keep On Truckin'" Posters. Of course, these were done in sort of a balloon style, and that's what I would do as well. As p2pnut points out, this was a Robert Crumb inspired font. Though it is different from what he did, it is my goal to eventually make one similar to his cartoon type. So it will probably take a couple tries for Me to get it just right, but I don't think this is a bad start. There are, of course, some special challenges associated with doing this kind of thing that the pen easily makes up for. I decided to use some faux shadowed edges to allow the underlying character to work with the overlap of the F, P & R. As I am sure you can tell, the first letter of every word should be capitalized. Then, all the other letters in that word should be lowercase unless there is some punctuation such as a hyphen or apostrophe that will break the letter connectors. So of course you would then have to capitalize the following letter and can then go from there with lowercase until the next word (or word break). This one will be share/use/modify Freeware that retains my Copyright as the original artist once I release it. August 21st, 2013: OK, Getting ready to release it as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike Freeware (maintaining My Copyright). Clone it, alter it, modify it, add to it, subtract from it. Come up with a better and-sign, etc... Added both parenthesis, the capital O with a slash through it, and a pretty horrific and-sign. Everything but my 2 logos (sitting in Specials as replacement characters) was intentionally done as an outline font (using the tools available in the FontStructor, of course). I think this one is actually quite usable for some 70's style posters and projects, though it remains a work in progress as I might add some more shadowing as a part of the theme. I've tried it out at very small and think it is still legible as a 12 pixel font, though I would really recomend keeping it big and then have fun coloring in the letters. Although not quite a full Basic Latin Letter Set, the main characters are there, plus I threw in a ©, TM, TEL, and SM. Added the Registered Trademark Symbol. Decided to take on the shading and made it a sort-of isometeric 3D font. August 22nd: Still finishing the shading. Alright, at first I kept everything very legible. But as I did, I lost that overlapping effect. But this font isn't meant for 12 pixels. It's meant for poster headlines. So I skinnied it up a bit, making the lowercase letters look more like they are resting underneath the previous letter. When you print the word "Little" (as an example) it is still legible, but a little cryptic at the same time. All the isometeric 3D shading is fauxed in. That is, I had to play with the shading in order to make this work. Sometimes the shading is at one angle, sometimes another. Sometimes the shading goes on too far (in the P, p F, f) just to give the next letter a place to connect to, a place to rest under. August 23rd: Renamed to "70's Style Overlap 3D" and edited the underneath shadow of the bottom plane of the top of the curl of the question mark. Updated my logos to reflect the style of the font. I think I'll stop messing with this one now unless someone sees something that needs to be addressed. Feel free to download, clone, modify, etc. Just be sure to give me credit for what I did. I would appreciate it if my logos remained in tact, there are all sorts of other places to put your logo as a contributing author/designer/artist. Thanks for your support!

This one is all about clarity. I am hoping to get a decent web font after all that work. :) August 14th: Everything but the lower case letters in the Basic Latin letter set. The numbers and colons still need some work. August 15th: Did the lowercase characters and fixed the colons. August 19th: Removed the micro colon from above the extended and-sign arm.

I've always wanted to create this font, thanks to FontStruct, I finally can. Although there still may remain a few issues such as the lowercase x, I am pretty happy with it overall. It's still a work in Progress, though. I am actually pretty proud of the time I spent at State (South Dakota State, that is). This font is dedicated to that time, that college, those memories. The full Basic Latin Letter Set is present, though the small caps are alternates for the primary uppercase letters. That said, I set it up for myself with my favorite version of the caps in the lowercase set, because I'm lazy and don't like pressing the shift key to get my favorite version of the character. ;) GO STATE!

August 15th, 2013: Clone of Tonder (but no longer resembles it other than the punctuation and symbols). Unicode Letter Sets. Sans-Serif (Gothic style type). When I was creating Tonder I found a kinky little character that I really liked while I struggled with the complete lack of curvy or circle_part blocks. So far I've used it to redesign the lowercase character set. Looking forward to redesigning the uppercase characters with this style in mind, as well. Still debating the license. August 16th, 2013: Redesigned the uppercase letters to reflect the style. Redesigned the lowercase f, j, v, w & y. Flipped the point of the u leg. Still mulling over the s. The numbers could use some attention, but at least they are there. August 18th: Eliminated the tiny colon over the and-sign (&) arm. Will do the same in the Geteven font branch, as well.This is a clone of Tonder

Kindegraf is a pixel font created with the Unicode Letter Sets option. Freehanding with a mouse to give the impression of a kid's scribbly handwriting. The uppercase letters are purposely left facing the proper directions, while the $, e, n & s are purposely facing in the wrong direction for that "child's hand" effect. Just a little experiment to toy with when I get home after unloading a truck too tired to think. Goodnight! August 2nd, 2013: Renamed from Integraf to Kindegraf. Went from 26 characters (+ space) to 100 today (not counting the space & my logo). Has the primary puncuation (full basic Latin letter set package), The Copyright, Registered Trademark, TM Trademark and Service Mark characters, plus the Cents and Dollar Sign symbols. Remember, this is a pixel font, don't expect a lot. ;) I was just playing around. August 13th: Added the newer version of my logo.

Clone of Tset. This is a basic, simple and clear bold sans-serif block font. I have tried to pay special attention to spacing. This font doesn't look very good in the smaller sizes because of the restraints put on the lower character set (size). However, I feel it can be stunning as well as clear in its simple form at larger font sizes. Check the included images in this archive for a few of examples of how good this font looks. When cloned/ported on July 29th, 2013, Tset font (created in 2008) had 70 characters, with the uppercase letters duplicated in the lowercase characters set. Now the derivative, "Uset", has corrected most of the capital letters, boasts a whole new set of lowercase letters, and even adds more punctuation including the Copyright symbol, Registered Trademark symbol, and a few other characters I find myself using often. Now, "Uset" (name derived because U comes after T in the alphabet, so this is the U set after the T set) has 111 usable characters (if you don't include the 2 different versions of my Logo - Greek Letter Phi upper and lowercase - and all of the Fontstruct logos that are placed in mostly unusable portions of the font character map). August 8th, 2013: Added SM, TEL & TM in Letterlike Symbols. Moved logos to the replacement characters. Made a minute adjustment to the "l" in order to address a slight spacing issue and maintain the style. April 13th, 2014: Revamped the K. Skinnied-up the 0. Still a work in progress, though now it offers a more complete basic character set.This is a clone of Tset

Originally branched from the developing Broadbill font's uppercase character set. I ran into a few issues (July 24th, 2013) with spacing and used the serif styling in the caps to help resolve it (July 28th, 2013). Eventually, I carried that style throughout all the caps that could logically support it, design-wise. This has evolving into something else though, completely different than the font I cloned it from, though there are some similarities, still. I wanted to call it Westwind, but there is whole collection of fonts by Westwind, so "Western Breeze" was my second choice (and my original thought before Google informed me that Westwind might be pretty darn inappropriate. The style? Serifs usually pointing down or to the left are present, but no serifs that would normally point to the right. When using the caps for titling it gives the impression that a breeze runs over the characters from right to left, or that they are moving to the right. This one just has the basic latin character set and a few extra symbols such as the cents sign, $, Copyright and Registered Trademark, symbols we often need. I'm trying to keep this one light so that IF it works as a webfont it will make a quick download. Oh, the Pursuede font branch saved the lowercase sans-serifs once I figured out how to do some lowercase serifs. August 7th, 2013: Moved my logos to the replacement characters in Specials. Made small changes to the S, a, f, m, s, t, and y to address styling and spacing issues. Added TM, TEL and SM symbols in Letterlike Symbols. Adjusted the Polish alternative character (S w/cedilla) to reflect the changes I made in the S. Also tried to put a little more space than I usually do between the letters so that the serifs don't run into the next letter (but this looks kind of unavoidable at small sizes). August 13th: Edited the A, B, H, f & t to reflect more of a breeze/motion. Changed the r. Looped the tail end of the L & t up a hair more so that spacing looks better. Because certain letters had a hole instead of a hard stop on one side to reflect the the shape of the letter better, I took out the soft round corners on one side of the B, D, P, R, b, d, m, n, p & q. If anyone prefers the softer holes, I can clone it and put them back in for you, but I like this one like this. If you have any suggestions on any special letters/characters you would like added, let me know. I will be happy to add a few. Once I was done I did notice that the new NFL Vikings uniforms have a similar style to reflect motion (in the opposite direction), but in a boxier font. I might try that for the heck of it. ;) But I have a lot of font projects I want to get to, so don't wait for it, if you want it and it's not in my portfolio, make one! ;)This is a clone of Broadbill

I'm not sure if anyone likes my fonts or not, but here's another go at it. This font started out as an attempt to make a logo for one of My online ventures, as I wanted to make a font to base the logo on, in the style I have in mind. As I built this font I found that I was having a great deal of difficulty because the serifs (simple flourishes) need to be available with the widest part resting at 1/2 block (and pointing in all various directions), but it was impossible to composite such blocks as I could not select or designate any empty blocks to be a part of that composite, thereby bringing work on that font to a halt. It seems that I cannot make the kind of font I require for that website. Toying with things I realized how to create a different kind of font altogether. But as I create using those blocks under that premis, I was destroying My original font. So I saved it as a clone here (on July 24th, 2013). Now I can develop either font and they do look closely related. But now I need to come up with a name for this version of the font. As it is nothing like what I wanted to create originally, I guess I'll call it... Broadbill I noticed, after downloading the font, that the TTF file is still called Worthful (Worthful.ttf) which was the original name, but it shows up as Broadbill in your applications that will use the font (Word/Photoshop, etc...). So I would encourage you to rename the .ttf file to "Broadbill.ttf" because eventually I will come up with a Worthful font and it will use the Worthful.ttf filename (as well as the Worthful font name). This font has the full basic latin character set, the supplemental character set, and I am just starting on the first latin character extension package. This was intended to be a break from the other styles I've been producing here, my first serif font. It's taken a lot more time because of the serifs. One might want to space this font out just a tad more than usual so that the serifs or adjacent characters don't run into each other, though I did try to address that a bit. I think this font would look good as a decorative paybill font, or as a headline on posters and such. I have tried to address certain spacing issues that occur because the serifs are exactly a half block wide, but it is this same inner round corner that makes up the top of most of the looped part of the characters, lending this font it's open style and giving it an almost stencil-like quality. The best thing would be to be able to set the letter spacing width at 1/2 block widths. August 10th: Moved My Trademarks to the replacement characters. Changed the A & H crossbars slightly so that it's more consistent with the E & F. Redesigned the K. Also adjusted the B, P & R to conform more to the intended styling. I'm still looking for another a different style for the M & N. Modified the S to more closely reflect the desired styling. Changed the rounded lowercase letters and some of the numbers to more closely reflect the preferred styling. August 11th: Added the TM, TEL & SM characters from Letterlike Symbols. Applied the same styling changes to the accented character counterparts. Unless we find anything else to fix, I think this should be good, at least for a while, now. I have a few other font projects I can't wait to tackle. But definitely get ahold of me if you see something that needs to be addressed, or if you have a special character request.

Clone of another font I started on July 24th, 2013 to develop the gothic style (sans-serif) lower case characters and create a complimenting set of those in Upper Case (before I destroyed these lowercase sans characters with a set of serifs). I'm still wondering why I named it Persuede... changed spelling to Pursuede because it seems more intriguing. It just seems like a more magical spelling and should be a good unique tag/font name. Full basic latin character set with the latin supplement pack (Copyright & Registered Trademark symbols, etc...). I started working on the first extended set of latin characters, but only just. I also created a few of the Greek symbols if I could, using the boxes I had available. Some of those Greek characters are a little too round/curly/squiggly for me to attempt to reproduce without some new blocks. But the greek characters sometimes offer the same letters (ie: A, H, M, N, K & Y), so they were done with some variations over the original style in the latin set, so that there is a variety of character styles available should you need them. It is intended to be a skinny font, so it probably won't look good on web pages unless you are using it for larger headings, logos and graphics. I'm going to keep working on it, but will take a break from it for a while. But I will be getting back to this soon. I definitely want to finish the extra 2 extended latin character sets and add at least a few arrows eventually. Updated some of the characters (July 27th, 2013) to more complete the style I was trying to communicate. Updated the and-sign and addressed some funky crap that didn't need to be there. It seems pretty clean, now. I hope it's ready for primetime. August 1st I added some miscellaneous characters such as currency signs, the TM symbol (which I finally found in Letter Like Symbols), an SM symbol (only mine is a subscript as traditional service marks should be), some arrows, a home glyph, bullet, and other stuff. Then, on August 2nd, 2013 I finished off Latin Extended-A at 2:50am. August 4th & 5th, 2013: Finished off the 'Superscripts and Subscripts' letter set, added various characters in 'Miscellaneous Symbols' (card suite, crosses) and some important "General Punctuation' characters. I'm calling this one done unless there are special requests for certain characters, or you point out a mistake I need to correct. This is a clone of Western Breeze

Clone of Struck. I liked things about Struck that I wanted to keep, but wanted to develop it more in a different branch, as well. Thus, Struckshur is born, and I think it has more structure where I will be keeping Struck more whimsical. 98 glyphs so far. August 6th, 2013: Edited letters that required it (S s t V v W w X x Y y Z z) for legibility. Added some more whimsy to N & W. Added a few important characters out of the Latin-1 Supplement. Added the TM, TEL & SM in Letterlike Symbols. Added the Daggers, Bullets and single angle quotation brackets in General Punctuation. Added Arrows: Left, Up, Right, Down, Left & Right, Up & Down. Now @ 140 characters. August 7th: Made some very slight changes to the t & S. Added the crosses, happy/sad faces and card suite from Miscellaneous Symbols. Added some of the crosses, the checkmarks and hearts in Dingbats.This is a clone of Struck

I tried to improve my first font, which was my Base font, so I renamed this to "Base 10" to play on our numerical system while reflecting that this version has finally reach 1.0. I probably have a few adjustments to make (the little i & j characters), but I'm getting tired and have to get some shut-eye before work tonight (graveyard shift unloading trucks and I'm disabled). If you want to download it, that's fine. You can use it for personal and commercial use. Even though I think of it as freeware, I still maintain my Copyright (2013), so just don't redistribute it. August 2nd, 2013: Redesigned some characters (m, n, w) and made other more readable (a) while adding some styling to others (g, p, q). Added a few currency signs and trade/service marks. August 14th, 2013: Edited the D. Going to take a step back, not sure if I like how I changed it, it seems too wildly different from all the other blocky curves. I will probably change it again later.This is a clone of Base

This is a black sans serif minimalistic block font with a couple of repeating themes in the ends and such. I consider this freeware, but maintain my copyright and only allow distribution through fontstruct and my own journaled catalog of freeware (@ font-journal.com). August 2-3, 2013: Added trade/service marks, TEL symbol, a few more currency signs and revamped many of the characters. The old K was cute, but I decided to opt with a style that would allow more consistent spacing. I did make certain letters a bit more whimsical in an effort to keep that feeling. I think this version has a more complete character set, but it is still kept basic to allow for fast downloads and low memory usage. But if you are interested in seeing any particular character, or would like to see one corrected, get a hold of me. ;) August 4th, 2013: That small s was bothering Me all night at work. It was the one thing I didn't get done right. Taken care of, today.
