>> thalamic’s description (with edit)
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.
This whole permuatation thing is so fun and easy to play around with. The original fs Permutation series worked with just the bricks that were available by default. Since then, the FontStructor has evolved, allowing for, in part, custom bricks. This new permutation was not possible before. This one is created just to show that custom bricks can be dragged and dropped on top of the existing ones replacing the standard bricks. The bricks used here are [edit:1/4 brick staggered identical custom composites] .Clone it and play around.Instructions1. Select a brick from the standard bricks or create your own custom brick.2. Click and drag it to the brick in the first position in My Bricks until that brick turns gray.3. Release.4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the brick in the second position in My Bricks.Learn. Enjoy.

Our first project this year was to design a typeface based around a word of our choosing. I opted for ‘Pompous’, as it stood out to me from the list. During the project I visited Bristol Cathedral several times, and spent time in and around Bridgwater, looking at anything that I found to be pompous, such as cast-iron work and Baroque architecture. My final design is influenced by Gothic typefaces and raised lead tombstones/plaques. The name ‘Delectatio Morosa’ is Latin for peevish delight, which I discovered whilst looking at different Latin phrases.I%20am%20a%20first%20year%20student%20at%20the%20University%20of%20the%20West%20of%20England.%20Our%20first%20project%20this%20year%20was%20to%20design%20a%20typeface%20based%20around%20a%20word%20of%20our%20choosing.%20I%20opted%20for%20%E2%80%98Pompous%E2%80%99%2C%20as%20it%20stood%20out%20to%20me%20from%20the%20list.%20During%20the%20project%20I%20visited%20Bristol%20Cathedral%20several%20times%2C%20and%20spent%20time%20in%20and%20around%20Bridgwater%2C%20looking%20at%20anything%20that%20I%20found%20to%20be%20pompous%2C%20such%20as%20cast-iron%20work%20and%20Baroque%20architecture.%20My%20final%20design%20is%20influenced%20by%20Gothic%20typefaces%20and%20raised%20lead%20tombstones%2Fplaques.%20The%20name%20%E2%80%98Delectatio%20Morosa%E2%80%99%20is%20Latin%20for%20peevish%20delight%2C%20which%20I%20discovered%20whilst%20looking%20at%20different%20Latin%20phrases.

Two cars on DeTrayne are dedicated to influential graffiti artists that have passed away way too soon. 

Dondi, from New York, was a master of readable and wildstyle letterforms, whole-car masterpieces, colorful backgrounds and characters. He was also a pioneer in taking his art from the subway to art galleries worldwide. Dondi passed on October 2, 1998 from complications from AIDS.

On this day, Feb. 17, in the year 2000, legendary San Francisco Bay Area graffiti artist, Dream, was robbed and killed at gunpoint. It was a major loss, not just for the bay area, but the worldwide graffiti art community. One of Dream's most famous pieces, "Best of Both Worlds," displayed a mastery of two intricate west coast styles that raised the bar in defining a graffiti "king." A testament to his greatness is his memorial wall in Daly City that still stands untouched to this day, and includes tribute pieces from artists that have traveled from all over the world to contribute. It was a great honor to have worked on a music video that served as a tribute to Dream, and brought his family, friends, and his crew TDK together again for a celebration of his life and art. 

Graffiti art has been a major influence on me and every typographic creation I develop. Out of everything I've publicly shared, this fontstruction is the most meaningful and defining for me. Hi, I am Geneus1: digital graffiti artist.
