This is a clone of zpiekermann eYe/FSMy version of Jan Tschichold’s “Schmale Grotesk - Leicht und schnell konstruierbare Schrift” (narrow grotesque - font that is easy and quick to construct), from 1930.
Turns out it isn’t always “quick and easy” to translate a pen and straightedge approach to constructed letters into Fontstruct’s prefabricated bricks setting.
In expanding the glyph coverage, I tried to remain true to the spirit of the original self imposed limitations, both in terms of grid (e.g. the cramped space for the uppercase diacritics), and of tools (see the solution for superscripts et similia).
The font covers all of Google Fonts Basic set and, given the c-caron present in the source, all of Czech orthography. I may try to add other Eastern European languages in the future.
For different takes on the same source, you can look at Serious, here on Fontstruct, or at Iwan Reschniev, for an extensive expansion in weights and typographic features.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome :-)
A narrowed zrebmun version, trying another different point of view for the original font. Let me know what do U prefers, please.
This is a clone of zrebmun eYe/FSMARTIAN AMBASSADOR — Future retro / Sci-Fi style
═══════════════════════════════════
A future retrostyle that reflects the social construct at the dawn of the Computer Age through the zeitgeist of that 70s and 80s aesthetic fashion, which was strongly influenced by things such as: space, computers, sci-fi and cyberpunk.
Wip. Hashtag No Filters.
The font with great attention to numbers, from which its creation began and they set the style for the rest of the font. The result was an art deco style font with not the most balanced (A so wide), but strictly geometric proportions, as was done on posters of that era.
The name is in honor of Kazimir Malevich, the famous Ukrainian artist with Polish origin. Malevich works: https://arthive.com/kazimirmalevich/works?_lang=EN
The width of the letters spelling out each number is different after the first 2 letters (but the "i" is always 4px wide)
Four numbes added : "10" is on the "K" , "11" on the "L" , "ZEHN" on the underscore , "ELF" is on the "$"
ANTI-QUE — Asian calligraphy inspired
═══════════════════════════════════
Anti-que features a romanized lettering concept that was designed to mimic the stylistic properties of Asian calligraphic characteristics.
DOBINI BALWAUM (Inline) — Didone-style 18th century modern serif
═══════════════════════════════════
Dobini Balwaum is a Didone, or modern, serif typefaces inspired by the works of Bodoni, Didot and Walbaum.
This font had been in the making for quite a long time as I ren into several design difficulties along the way. Most challenging parameter was the inline width. By default the width for the inline was set at 0.125 (or 1/8th) grid units.
Maintaining a constant width for the inline proved to be next to impossible. Therefor it evolves around a 'close' approximation of 0.125 units instead. Stroke weight for the letterform contours also proved to be somewhat of a constraining factor for the overall design concept. As it limits the ability to build complex geometry.
Due to the complexity in brick arrangements the font remains having some minor imperfections that I wasn't able to polish out so fat yet, and some may never will..
For now only Basic Latin letters, it remains a WIP
I hope you like it so far,
Cheers
modified to look more like elmoyenique's sample
This is a clone of numerical extMy rendition of the UKTV channel-specific on-demand services font.
This is a clone of züricher eYe/FSThe NUMBERS were the origin: This font has been created from the design of glyphs 0, 2 and 4, which was then extrapolated to the rest of the characters. Unicase with alternates. Thanks @AidenFont for the vertical stripes idea.
WiP. Kerning in Basic latin is finished. In Fontstruct, it is not very convenient to do kerning between uppercase and lowercase and in accented Latin because there are no kerning classes here, so I am not doing them yet.

This is a clone of ztivalia eYe/FS+My second entry for the Numbers competition.
This one has actually been sitting there for a while already, I haven't published it before because of the terrible kerning and some awful letter solutions. But I think the numbers are quite cool, so...
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.
BOOTSHAUS — Geometric "Bauhaus"-inspired modernist sans
═══════════════════════════════════
Bootshaus is another endeavour into the Bauhaus realm of typography.
Focus for this font lies mainly within it's broad choice of glyph alternate forms to select from for stylish texts or logos.
Much of the extra glyph alternative forms are loosely based on the lettering by Sascha Lobe for the Bauhaus-Archiv
Many more glyph alternative forms are planned to be included, stay tuned..
— WIP
Cheers!
