This is my attempt to create a robust, almost military grade slab serif stencil. The whole project was largely inspired by the music clip bearing the same title by Nathalie Cardone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqYHeX0i0NU&feature=related). It is a work in progress, glyphs may change in the final version.

I decided to make a stencil version of my NCD Amphibian font.
I didn't have to change too much.
Slightly influenced by Afrojet's superb Whoopee which reminded me of NCD Amphibian when I first saw it.
There's still some tweaking to be done, so all comments welcomed.

Another stencil font...with obvious influences from Glaser Stencil (because I love it so!). But to be fair, Glaser Stencil was not referenced even once in the making of this fontstruction.
Allow me to wax technical about FontStruct 2.0 for a bit. A lot of my fontstructions have been even thickness all around. However, the evenness have been approximated thus far—not so anymore. First there were the 45° bricks; then came the 26.57°/63.43° bricks. With the 2.0 Make Composite feature, 14.04°/75.96° angles became possible. These two additional angles provide a finer tune of thickness of stems. The preview does not do justice to the font, but I tested the thicknesses of stems in Illustrator—horizontals/verticals/diagonals. Each stem now is as close in thickness to other as possible. This really is an even stroke font[struction]. Other 2.0 features are also used (but may not be obvious at a glance). See that 'o'? That's just one quarter curve created and then rotated three additional times. Very handy. The horizontal and vertical flips were used extensively throughout the creation process. Quarter-ing of angled bricks became necessary when it became evident that the only even thickness of a stroke is possible at x.5 thickness when combined with a curve. This meant that each vertical/horizontal stem is 5.5 bricks thick, which in turn made it necessary to use angled bricks at a quarter scale, which, of course, was made possible with the Make Composite feature. The only place I couldn't get the brick I wanted was in 4 (zoom in to see the slight misshape). It was a joy to work on this fontstruction to get what I really wanted almost every time. Great update, Rob. Cheers!
As long as I am on the soap box: What's up with diaeresis? I understand the reason for their existence, but are they the best possible way to handle various additional sounds? Also, are they even necessary? For example, café in French means a particular thing. But does cafe (without the e with the grave on it) mean something else? If not, wouldn't the French automatically know how to properly pronounce café (with or without acute on the e) the correct way whichever 'e' is used? It helps in the pronunciation for the uninitiated but are languages really designed for the novice? There are 26 letters in the English alphabet but they cover the gamut of up to 44 different sounds (according to some). Improbable as it may seem, it does not stop people to choose the correct pronunciation of letters. Hop has one sound for the 'o' and adding an 'e' at the end does not add the 'e' sound at the end of 'hop' but changes the sound of the middle 'o'. Convention. Sure. What I am trying to get at is that written script functions much better with distinct shapes without the flow-interrupting addition of the diaeresis. So unless there are two words spelled the same with the only difference being the kind of diacritic on the letters, the diacritic are redundant, no? If there is a real need for certain letter+diacritic combo, wouldn't a new shape be better? There are no shortage of additional shapes in the scripts of other languages. Can't do without an 'é'? Replace it with, say, 'ө' from the Greek script...or whatever. It bears repetition: What's up with diaeresis?

There's something DIN-esque about it, I know. It may be partly because I've always loved that font. However, no font was the source of inspiration for this. The idea was simply to create something generic. If, in the process, it ended resembling DIN or any other font, it's purely by chance (and geometry). Because of it's eventual looks, the name is an obvious play on the word 'din'.

i also wanted to explore different weights. played around and ended up with the teardrop terminals which reminded me of the head of a matchstick. this one also reminds me of Q-Typ somewhat.

this is primarily a 3-panel stencil. started out with the bows being much thicker and had the original name of trident. i made made the tops of each panel pointed and a reference to the name trident.
then i reduced the thickness of the original bow know and there it was :)
i think this one carries the theme of the bow tie throughout the set. the original I, L, T, Y, and Z had some challenges that had to be addressed, but i'm happy with the results.

Inspired by "Under Contstruction" splash pages of the early web. Construx needs a laser cutter to make a sturdy stencil out of itself.
Mostly All Caps, but lowercase has some alternates where applicable. Parenthesis create bounding effects.
Why does it say 240 characters? I don't know. This font was derived from another font that had 240 characters, but clearing them doesn't reset the character counter...
