This font has no idea what it wants to be when it grows up. Stupid designer.

Ignore the preview window. View the sample.
[If you are going to use the preview widget, slide the PXL setting to around 60% point.]
A long while ago, I came across some logo or font or something that said something like 'raptor' or 'captor' or something. This font owes its existence to that...er...logo. But it has been futzed with umpteen number of times so it only has a distant cousin look to the original. I searched and searched my files but couldn't find the original. Checked google, bing, behance and logopond too; no luck.This is a clone

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. :)

Although build from scratch, AUGHT should really appear as a clone of ought because the idea is the same, just a different execution. Some glyphs came together fairly easy (A B C etc.), others took some doing (T Y S), some just don't work out well (G P Q Z), and some worked too well (I J).

Yet another version that came while modifying AUGHT One to AUGHT To. And believe it or not, in the process of doing these three fonts, enough additional glyphs were created and deleted to fill at least two more variants. This is why the Clone is enabled again so someone else might experiment some more, if they so choose.This is a clone

Fresh baked. [Not inspired by Nike®]
Each character is max. 32 grid blocks tall. However, the total height of the fontstruction exceeds that. Couldn't be helped; the curves just make it so. Maybe that disqualifies it from the competition, which is OK, but the design had to take precedence over the rules.
This fs has been in the works for a while and was not specifically begun for the handmadecomp. It started off quite crude...and evolved into the baroque-ness over time. With all the shape possibilities, it may never be 'done' done.

I've been working on this for a while. I'm usually not that patient. I didn't even like it much. Then nudge came along. It now looks quite different from where it started. In the process, at least three variations have come and gone. Some of the characters are likeable now; other's not so much. I'm mostly just bored of this. Hence the half-hearted samples. Next! (Perhaps.)

For use at pixel level. Also works at 32pt×x, where x=1,2,4,8,etc. ----- This font has been a long time in the making. The dots are such that the curved shapes and squared-off letters just would not resolve to an equal height no matter what I tried. Then after the mixed x-height that came about in yesterday's la Cross, it occurred to me to just let the letters be as tall as they wanted to be. It seems to work for some odd reason. Can someone please explain why it works?This is a clone

An as-close replication as I could of the typeface on Electronic's brilliant first epynomous album. The rest of the letters are a guess. I may have done this font before. Who knows! I can't search through 400 fs to look for it.

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

This one started out quite different; a simple three-line font. While making an alternate B, the curlicue was introduced. A clone and many hours later, Etched was born. Later added borders and decorations when the sample called for it. ----- Works best at 64pt. Set leading to 48pt for a single dividing line in between, 52pt for a double dividing line, and 56pt for a clear break between lines. No kerning required.
Start a new line with < and end it with >.

Because.
Neither the characters are my idea nor the technique.
The logo characters belong to Polytron Corporation and the technique was originated by frodo7
I did it just because.
If you haven't played FEZ, perhaps you should; if you haven't explored frodo7's technique, perhaps you should. Thanks, Phil; thanks, frodo7.
I was going to make this clonable, but on second thought, perhaps Polytron will raise copyright issue with my doing so, therefore, I am keeping it closed, in case I have to take this down upon their demand. Phil Fish (the developer of FEZ) has had a difficult time lately, and I don't want to add to his troubles.
Instead, the technique is identified in an image in the comments. You can build your own, if necessary.

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.
