Offstruct RGB is a pixel colour font made using Adobe Illustrator and Fontstruct's new layers feature. It is inspired by the additive colour model in which Red, Green, and Blue light are mixed together. More samples here: Behance
This is a clone of offstructOpening day of the Marvel film "Spiderman No Way Home!" I wasn't even going to release anything. Then saw this old Gravebladish looking thing and I had to reinterpret it to be more Spidermanish - very Spiderman 2099. Color font web gradations on the tops. Unfinished, but had to make this in response to obsession.
This is a military-style stencil font inspired by the original Stencil-Gothic face (by John West c. 1885), Ironmonger (by John Downer, 1991-93), and Pediker (by Kazimir Samoscanec, 2013). The latter one is a revival of a stencil face of unknown origin. Sorry for the dystopian future. I hope it will never happen.
While waiting at a doctor's office, absentmindedly drawing letters on my knee with a new pen in my hand, I realized after I while that I was doodling the glyphs of fs_penmanship, although with curved ends. Which got me thinking that it just might be possible with the new and improved HTML fontstructor.
This is the second version of that idea. The first version had too many compromises in lining up the stacked and nudged bricks. Be that as it may, the new fontstuctor has grown up so much and although quite recognizable compared to the original, but level 1000 in possibilities, all hidden behind a simple interface. Brilliant.
PS, Rob: I found two things that need further updating: 1. Because of the way 4×4 stacks work, nudges need to be in increments of 8th as opposed to the 4th that is currently the case, otherwise, some of the bricks just don't line up. 2. Bricks should be rotatable from the center of the grid box in increments of 15° (or at least 45°).

Only interesting in theory; the practical application leaves a lot to be desired. Incomplete as well. Only sharing now because vacations are over. Back to work from tomorrow moring. Won't really have time to work on this in any meaningful way anymore. Unless inspiration strikes out of somewhere and I am able to stay awake past my bedtime.
Every glyph has a counter rotated glyph or has self rotational symmetry—all except the c, which remains a loner loser.

Full disclosure: This fs was started before there was such a thing as Reverse competition.
Side story on the making: This fontstruction is deceptively simple. It was quite a challenge to execute. Just because the strokes seem flowing doesn't mean they are all placed in the logical grid block. The rounded-off ends forced the bricks to be placed in any of the 8 adjoining blocks and nudged into place. Consequently, due to the nature of nudge only moving as much as half a block in any direction, some compromises had to be made in the shapes.
