Deceptively simple in appearance, variable stroke thickness is achieved through advanced filters and a one-brick stroke thickness for vertical strokes.

I kept the spacing tight (and at an integer value) so it works decently well as a pixel font down to 8 pt (at 72 ppi this gives an x-height of four pixels and a breezily condensed form). Some funky spacing issues remain without kerning pairs.

The result: a technical, friendly, modern slab serif design demonstrating further potential of the stackable composite function.
Please enjoy a private clone to see how I dealt with contrast, curves, bracketing, variable letter width and the difficult-to-achieve emboldening of the capitals’ vertical strokes within a minimal fontstruct matrix (and If you like what you see, please download for personal usage and vote kindly! :)
Intaglio’s amazing recent work makes similar strides (see the excellent rounds, for example), offering a solution before me to several of these long-standing impasses of the medium.

This inspiration began with similar shapes and roots as its predecessor, but evolved from there once it quickly became clear that those shapes really could not be reproduced with strict pixels.

Then I went on a bender creating the katakana and hiragana character set.

Then I went crazy with filters and single brick substitution.I%20began%20this%20fontstruction%20as%20a%20challenge%20to%20create%20a%20seriffed%20pixel%20font%20with%20grid%20characteristics%20similar%20to%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2Fislab_3%22%3EiSlab%3C%2Fa%3E%E2%80%99s%208%20pt%20setting%20%28bearing%20an%20x-height%20of%20four%20pixels%29.%20This%20inspiration%20began%20with%20similar%20shapes%20and%20roots%20as%20its%20predecessor%2C%20but%20evolved%20from%20there%20once%20it%20quickly%20became%20clear%20that%20those%20shapes%20really%20could%20not%20be%20reproduced%20with%20strict%20pixels.%0D%0A%0D%0AThen%20I%20went%20on%20a%20bender%20creating%20the%20katakana%20and%20hiragana%20character%20set.%0D%0A%0D%0AThen%20I%20went%20crazy%20with%20filters%20and%20single%20brick%20substitution.
