NumbersComp's brief saids: "As always, please do interpret the theme as loosely, literally or figuratively as you wish – it’s there only to inspire, not to confine." That's my point. Here in FS, we can also draw with NUMBERS (= brick coordinates). This is a tribute: my humble fontstructization of a linear portrait of the great Master Erik Spiekermann made by Bill Dawson (©2015). To get the full image, please type: ABCDE (return) FGHIJ (return) KLMNO (return) PQRST (return) UVWXY (return) Zabcd (return) efghi -these last five glyphs are for the name, if you want add it-. And don't forget to adjust the line spacing if you want a good result when printing it. Thanks for sharing it.
Last week my beloved iMac stopped working for good. It's been more than a decade of a fantastic relationship, but now I have to accept the fact that it won't be with me anymore... With that in mind, I've collected these vintage Mac icons, most (maybe all) made by the great Susan Kare in the best 80's. Curiously, you will see that many of them have remained until today with very few modifications, but others (that dot matrix printer, those faxes, those floppy disks...) have definitely passed into the History. I remember with particular displeasure the d*** Bomb, which appeared unexpectedly when the computer crashed -too frecuently- and you then lost all the work not saved manually. Freaky old times. My favourite character still being Clarus, the dogcow (at the Z, of course). Hope you like them.

Little picture game for one little pretty friend. To see the characters correctly, please type: Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm. Then you can start freely combine the heads (uppercase A to M) with other bodies (lowercase a to m) and thus get funny surprises. There are up to 169 possible different combinations, so have a good time with them.
As you see, this is not a conventional font, it's more like a little picture game. Typing pairs of letters you can see some figures: AB = Dog, CD = Bockwurst, EF = Car, GH = Factory, IJ = Bike, KL = Truck, MN = Frankfurter, OP = Pinocchio, QR = Birthday Cake. But what happens if you write ASSSSB?... And with the others?... Try it and enjoy!
Don't worry, this is not a font, this is a picture game. Please, type any uppercase character in the user input window from A to T, then the same character but in the lowercase and then press the space before repeat the operation with other character that you want: Aa (space) Bb (space) Cc (space)... And... Surprise! Here you are my crazy pixel friends. After this, you can mix the characters and play a little bit more creating some funny "monsters": Bd (space) Hp (space) Pt... There are 400 variations to try. Enjoy them!
Learning from the excellent work of Frodo7, I mix in this font (with all my respect to the image of Che) his head shape and Planet of the Apes' face. This font is a supplement for "zelfvolution eYe/FS", and the order in which the drawing is displayed is: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMNO PQRST UVWXY Z1234. Hope you like it.
