Based on a font I saw on our local mall. I was enthralled to make it that's why I made this then I added a lot of twists.

This is not your normal "ABC" font, because you can find a billion of those and I found it exhaustive to explore. This typeface uses musical symbols and calligraphy to represent our commonly used letters, numbers, and punctuation. I am a graduate student in music, and I used several fine scores as inspiration. There are many rules that I was following, which would be redundantly stated here, so I will only surmise that tender care to the pixel was taken on as many occasions as I could to replicate with precision the various glyphs found here. Some words about the download:
When downloaded, the font works best at 38 point. Also, due to my assigning a glyph to the spacebar, there is a vertical line that always follows the cursor (the measure line). At this time I have not tested as to whether this anomoly prints or not. Finally, there were some unicode mistakes that required me to repeat the ", and there is one glyph that may not register on some computers. Otherwise: Enjoy using a more unusual - musical - typface.
P.S. If you do have questions, I will answer them all. I used strict rules for construction, so I can submit information beyond the precision you would possibly require.
Thanks!

As my first entry as a type designer, I tried to achieve the propotions of the foundation hand in x-height of 5 modules. The main challenge was to balance between legibility and the calligraphic cues.

Slightly exaggerated rendition of the classic medieval 'textura' of Christian manuscripts. I mainly used Barbara Bundy's book 'Colour Calligraphy' for reference.(in progress)

'Repertor' is a display typeface inspired by hand-rendered calligraphy and brush stroke textures. The typeface evolved from exploring physical properties of my starting theme 'motion' and combining this with nautical elements, mostly found close to Bristol Harbour - the name 'Repertor' has been taken from a Thames sailing barge. This is a clone

Seal stamps! Here are 62 stamps (all basic Latin letters and numbers) bearing various Chinese characters in seal script. Included are the zodiac animals, seasons, elements, virtues, and some miscellaneous bits.
DISCLAIMER: I have studied Chinese, but I am not a native reader. Please keep this in mind; I am not liable for any issues regarding its use. However, I am definitely open to suggestions and critique!
A key to the characters can be found here: http://i.imgur.com/ZHTeSt8.png

My first fontstruction, inspired by Indonesian Culture. It's the Oekir Djepara (read: Oo-Keer Jew-Para (as in Parachute)). Oekir Djepara is known as the best Javanese Carving. It's curvy stroke based on nature's shapes like tree, flowers and leafs. It's for our Typography assignment from Petra Christian University, Indonesia. Please give me critics for my first whole-set basic latin fontstruction. And if you don't mind, vote for my rating. Thanks.
PS: you might want to take a look at Oekir Djepara, just google it "Ukir Jepara".

For the FS script competition I tried to copy my efforts at calligraphy with a goose quill. I have added more diacritics, punctuation & symbols.

My personal handwriting when i use Felt tip calligraphy pens (the cheap ones) as my daily writing pen, These are the most common letters I write with, there are many other variants, but the forms i chose worked best on Fontstruct. There are Numbers (and maybe other language writing systems like Cyrillic, Katakana, Hiragana.

1st year Graphic Design student at UWE Bristol. 1st FontStruct, this is behind a three dimensional work, ornate was my chosen theme, cursive handwriting was a main focus. A progressive piece, which is tied into to the name "inifinate" due to study into Graphology.

This is a calligraphic style font dedicated to Oscar Wilde. As this is my first font designed on fontstruct, I'd like any feedback from more experienced designers.

This Script is influenced by the art-style of Tibetan. Although as soon as i formed a few basic shapes and themes for a few characters, it quickly took on a shape for itself. This is still a Syllabary used to write my Conlang, Iltantu. It works exactly the same as my more recognizable Latinesque Syllabary "Iltantu-Romu". The characters are mapped in the same exact spots, and one script can be substituted for the next. It's merely a stylistic difference (as Times New Roman is to Blackletter, for instance)This is a clone of Iltantu-Romu

Inspired by a style of handwriting I use on drawings (I find it goes especially well with fantasy and creepy things). All lowercase, no numbers, and only punctuation that's commonly used in conversational English. Might consider adding numbers or more punctuation later.

Using just a 4x3 grid for most CAPS means the curves you see are curves. Slight calligraphy feel to wedges and curves on many letters. A black weight font with short descenders enable it to work with little leading, if necessary. Regimented but with curves and wedges!

A condensed "blackletterish" exercise. Oldstyle with modern FontStructed conformity. Works for short words in big sizes. HEAVILY inspired by the calligraphic fontworks of Bulgarian designers J Jelew and S Simow. One could say it´s more or less a FontStruct adaptation of their fine "Grant Deco", I have no problem with that. I wanted to see the "Grant" glyphs a little less "tall and hansome". ("Estoc" is an old type of long sword, similar to rapier or foil.)

My first Font. Please tell me if it's any good since I haven't done any serious Field-testing yet. There might be some problems with certain letters.
