Permutation: The act of changing the arrangement of a given number of elements.
One font, two different brick combinations.
Picking any two bricks from the 169 available gives a total possible combinations of 14196 (169C2) different fonts. Counting a certain kinds of bricks as one--all four 45degree, for instance--gives 36 unique bricks, resulting in 630 (36C2) unique combinations or fonts.
In this font, if the bricks are swapped with each other, the result will be a different font. Hence order of the bricks matter. In which case, nCr (combinations) is not the right choice. What's needed is nPr (permutations). 169P2 gives 28392 permutations and a 36P2 gives 1260 permutations.
So, at a minimum, 1260 fonts are possible with the current implementation of FontStruct, with just this particular layout of bricks.
It looks quite simple, and in the end, it was, though getting to the end was anything but. This font appears as a clone of ookii because that's where I started it, thinking I'll just add the shadows. Getting the shadows to look natural and line up properly in every character was a geometric challenge. I ended up redrawing the whole thing three times over--in incremental step up of scale before getting it right. I love doing fonts like this one.This is a clone

This came out of the same exercise that produced FIROX.This is a clone of fs FIROX

It started when kolarek posted the RÖFIX logo as his inspiration for his Blokinjo FontStruction. I wondered if that logo could be recreated exactly in FS. Turns out, it could. Having done that exercise, it was time to move on to play with other character designs. In a short while the whole set was done that matched the logo characters. Then the playing really began. Over the last 11 days, enough variations for each character were generated to fill three fonts. This is just one of those three.

Lay The I Flat on top of this to fill in the missing parts.

for djnippa.
the short numerals seem all out of order but there is a logic to it. - for 1, _ (shift -) for 2, = for 3, + (shift =) for 4, [ for 5, { for 6, ] for 7, } for 8, \ for 9, | for 0.
Mayan-type alt. numerals at: * for 0, ( for 1, ) for 2, ; for 3, : for 4, ' for 5, " for 6, < for 7, > for 8, / for 9.This is a clone

The new spacing controls have added complications in this font. Set tracking to -64 to get the characters to join up.

Further exploration of the...this...style of type design. I was going to do the uppercase but then I realized that I wasn't. Go figure.

I really like the way this one turned out. It uses minimal grid blocks to achieve the desired effect (although at ~2x2 and the slivers and the pinhole dots, there are a surprisingly large number of actual bricks used per glyph than evident at a quick glance, although not a single overlapping brick is used without express purpose). I think this is my favorite of all the ones I've done so far. It is with nervous anticipation that I let it free. Go forth and propagate, young font; it's You v World!

I seem to be caught in a rut. All my work is resembling everything else I did in the past. I may have hit upon, what I consider, a good typographic balance between glyph design and fontstruct limitations or I simply may have run out of ideas. Only time will tell. :)

No equality
Be still, I will not accept defeat

this electricity
injected into me
emotions running over me
and when you're getting close
you touch my innermost
a feeling deep inside me knows
