Although Zephram's work is no longer apparent here, it exists in the underlying compressed letter forms and shapes of most of the characters that inspired me to give it a twist and make it monspaced with tapered ends.

Oh yeah, I design logos, websites, graphics, ads, marketing campaigns, PCs, and just about anything, really. -DP
This is a clone of ChisatoA variant of Marrada with more angles.
Usually with designs I try to make every part look like it "belongs" with the others as opposed to trying to make each part look its best. With Marrada, I struck a balance between the two. Q1@*&{} are probably the best examples of this sort of balance...
This is a clone of MarradaA combination of many small disparate elements. Like "Space Wham" it tries to harmonize angles and curves, but it does it by letting complementary glyphs have them as opposed to using them both in a given glyph. I broke this rule to make "Marrada Angle", though.
This is a cloneA squared-off Chisato Pixel. This loses a bit of style, but has much simpler geometry and is much easier to read. A few glyphs are identical as well, so this is now a Mixed Case design.
Despite its seeming simplicity, I enjoy this design very much. I've added it to ESOSVM under the name "ChiP".

Another asymmetrical sans-serif made for use in rulebooks for the Freeform Limitless Adventure Kit (FLAK) pen-and-paper game system. This one is classed as a hybrid and works well at all point sizes!
It began as a Constant Height design, but now I don't classify it as such since most of the letters with diacritics are taller than those without. A few letters (eszett, thorn, eta, etc.) are allowed to descend slightly, as well.
This font has also found some use on signage at a friend's bistro!
Acrophobia with ratios changed so it isn't quite as tall. There is now line width variation which slightly enhances the "engraved" look this design has.
Unlike its predecessor, this one works well as a pixel font!
This is a clone of AcrophobiaA font made to the height of the visible field when the FontStructor is zoomed all the way out on my screen. I've always wanted to make something that vaguely pushed one of FS' limits - in this case, the height of the field which I can observe without scrolling.
Well, I could've made this even taller, but I wanted it to be somewhat useable at least. :D
This was originally a pixel design, but then I changed my mind and converted it to high-res. That gave it a more architectural look.
A design with long ascenders and descenders, even on letters that don't normally have them. Good for "old book" text in video games.
This is used in ESOSVM for most text which occurs while the player is in the dimension "Ladede", thus the name. Ladede has a canon, cosmology, and eventing which are seeded by in-jokes relating to roguelike games, especially Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. A font like this, in that context, is meant to be elegant but also mocking. This makes it seem subtly adversarial, as roguelike game elements are wont to do, and helps let the players know that they are in a bad, screwed-up place that they are unlikely to understand.
On its way home from Galacto-Zorgalorg, Kitchen Sink crashed on a strange exoplanet. It emerged from its ship to discover the ground was dimethylmercury and the atmosphere smelled of broccoli. As Kitchen Sink obstinately fumbled around outside its ship, it fell into a Pixelation Pit! This quantized Kitchen Sink's body like a garbage disposal, resulting in the form we see here. Pixelated, space-marooned and anthropomorphized at the same time - that's the fate of Kitchen Sink. What a FREAKIN' WEIRDO!

Original size: 7.5pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
Italic Dynamite! It's so slanted that using this font and turning italics on does nothing to change its appearance. My software doesn't know how to slant it further! It also gives me a mild sense of perspective or vertigo depending on how I look at it...
Pixellated Proxima Punch. It's art deco for your ancient compy box! New smaller grid, same great taste.
Original size: 6pt. Use multiples of this value for pixel perfection. However, this one has been noted to look great at almost every smaller size. Try 7pt, 8pt, 9pt, etc. for slight variations on the look!
Logo font for the fictional band "Roan City Roadslickers" from D2:ES.
This is a clone of RC DynamiteI attempted a blackletter style without any knowledge or references. The result reminds me of a vampire's writing!
The name "Dethzmezenger / Death's Messenger" comes from one of many old joke bands which I created.
Original size: 17.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
A design made to have long legs. The mild optical illusion this font creates was a happy coincidence!
I changed the name to "Taller Tales" since it seems that many fonts called "Tall Tales" actually exist...
Original size: 40pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection, or use in combination with antialiasing)
Proxima Punch with all curves changed to angles. A more engraved look.
This is a clone of Proxima PunchA style built on a tall ellipse. Bold line on the left, narrow line on the right. (The glyphs )]}¿¡ break this rule for the sake of aesthetics.)
