Alchemy

I have made so many clones of the original design that I've decided to let this weight & width be the parent.

Fontima

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I cloned Alchemy (another font design of mine) a few times to experiment with different widths. When I found a width with an appealing visual aesthetic, I attempted serifs. However, I wanted to make shapes FontStruct could not provide within its bricks. So I opted to design thin & thick strokes without serifs. I am still working on additional Latin characters.

I started this design with perfect circles and squares to exaggerate strokes, then I used partial circles to connect rectangles and create the strokes. I revisited the letterforms to simplify strokes and give some letters a more refined quality.

Compressed weight of Alchemy

Alchemy 117

The plan is to see how far I stretch the font before things get ugly.

Alchemy 143

Clone of Hyve Extended.

Alchemy 130

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Clone of Hyve Roman.

Alchemy 104

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I'm trying to recreate a font design I sketched in 1996. I want to create a stroke for the lowercase "m" and "w" that uses less width, and give the lowercase "k" more character (hehe).

Quagmire

This design is based on a sketch I did in 1998 using elliptical shapes to create letterforms. Designing a "z" ain't easy.

My apologies to the person who downloaded the first version of the font design. 8 years ago I sketched this font using Paint, and I realized that FontStruct could help me take this design one step further.
