The ultra-low resolution of this grid may be difficult to grasp without cloning. Fontstruct’s logo has a nominal x-height of 3 bricks, by comparison.

The level of detail, control, and finesse possible in a given fonstruction depended mostly on resolution prior to the recent advent of stackable composites. Did you want it better? Make it bigger!

Brute force, now meet Elegance.

Instead of building individual glyphs hundreds of bricks tall, stackable composites allow us to design rich modular schemata hundreds of bricks deep. Using curved bricks at their largest scale, linear and curvilinear elements dynamically harmonize and oppose. As well, screen fonts can be effectively hinted (aside from notable lack of kerning controls) without sacrificing the integrity of joins and intersections. And the trapping possibilities, Oh the sweet sweet trapping possibilities...

Please, vote kindly and stay tuned for more :)%3Cb%3Efilters%3A%3C%2Fb%3E%202x2%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%3Cb%3Ex-height%3A%3C%2Fb%3E%202.5%20bricks%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%3Cb%3Ecap%20height%3A%3C%2Fb%3E%203.5%20bricks%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%3Cb%3E%23%20of%20unique%20composites%3A%3C%2Fb%3E%20220%2B%0D%0A%3Cp%3E%0D%0AThe%20ultra-low%20resolution%20of%20this%20grid%20may%20be%20difficult%20to%20grasp%20without%20cloning.%20Fontstruct%E2%80%99s%20logo%20has%20a%20nominal%20x-height%20of%203%20bricks%2C%20by%20comparison.%0D%0A%3Cp%3E%0D%0AThe%20level%20of%20detail%2C%20control%2C%20and%20finesse%20possible%20in%20a%20given%20fonstruction%20depended%20mostly%20on%20resolution%20prior%20to%20the%20recent%20advent%20of%20stackable%20composites.%20Did%20you%20want%20it%20better%3F%20Make%20it%20bigger%21%0D%0A%3Cp%3E%0D%0A%3Cb%3EBrute%20force%2C%20now%20meet%20Elegance.%3C%2Fb%3E%0D%0A%3Cp%3E%0D%0AInstead%20of%20building%20individual%20glyphs%20hundreds%20of%20bricks%20tall%2C%20stackable%20composites%20allow%20us%20to%20design%20rich%20modular%20schemata%20hundreds%20of%20bricks%20%3Ci%3Edeep%3C%2Fi%3E.%20Using%20curved%20bricks%20at%20their%20largest%20scale%2C%20linear%20and%20curvilinear%20elements%20dynamically%20harmonize%20and%20oppose.%20As%20well%2C%20screen%20fonts%20can%20be%20effectively%20hinted%20%28aside%20from%20notable%20lack%20of%20kerning%20controls%29%20without%20sacrificing%20the%20integrity%20of%20joins%20and%20intersections.%20And%20the%20trapping%20possibilities%2C%20Oh%20the%20sweet%20sweet%20trapping%20possibilities...%0D%0A%3Cp%3E%0D%0APlease%2C%20vote%20kindly%20and%20stay%20tuned%20for%20more%20%3A%29

A winning, small-matrix rendition of this super-elliptical monoline sans. If you’d like, please enjoy a private clone to tour the brand-spankin’ new interiors.
I embraced innovation at the expense of imperfection with faux-curve composite stacks. These custom bricks are used to resolve the most glaring proportion issues besetting version 1 (and 2’s) capitals. I risk intermittent aliasing as well as potential inconsistencies in both curvature and stroke contrast. Yet these composite-stack discontinuities (A,C,D,G,J,O,Q,S,U,V) marry unexpectedly well with the extensively used macaroni bricks and remain themselves smooth up to an impressive 72pt.
Manual kerning leaves a lot of room for improvement. The alternates are included mostly for curiosity’s sake. Another work in progress with samples to follow. Feedback is always very appreciated; thanks in advance for it! :)%3Cb%3EVersion%202.0%3C%2Fb%3E%0D%0A%3Cp%3EA%20winning%2C%20small-matrix%20rendition%20of%20this%20super-elliptical%20monoline%20sans.%20If%20you%E2%80%99d%20like%2C%20please%20enjoy%20a%20private%20clone%20to%20tour%20the%20brand-spankin%E2%80%99%20new%20interiors.%0D%0A%3Cp%3EI%20embraced%20innovation%20at%20the%20expense%20of%20imperfection%20with%20faux-curve%20composite%20stacks.%20These%20custom%20bricks%20are%20used%20to%20resolve%20the%20most%20glaring%20proportion%20issues%20besetting%20version%201%20%28and%202%E2%80%99s%29%20capitals.%20I%20risk%20intermittent%20aliasing%20as%20well%20as%20potential%20inconsistencies%20in%20both%20curvature%20and%20stroke%20contrast.%20Yet%20these%20composite-stack%20discontinuities%20%28A%2CC%2CD%2CG%2CJ%2CO%2CQ%2CS%2CU%2CV%29%20marry%20unexpectedly%20well%20with%20the%20extensively%20used%20macaroni%20bricks%20and%20remain%20themselves%20smooth%20up%20to%20an%20impressive%2072pt.%0D%0A%3Cp%3EManual%20kerning%20leaves%20a%20lot%20of%20room%20for%20improvement.%20The%20alternates%20are%20included%20mostly%20for%20curiosity%E2%80%99s%20sake.%20Another%20work%20in%20progress%20with%20samples%20to%20follow.%20Feedback%20is%20always%20very%20appreciated%3B%20thanks%20in%20advance%20for%20it%21%20%3A%29

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.
