The Chesterfield Royal Family was formed from my desire to add new weights to the original Chesterfield typeface. In the process of drawing these new weights, I began modifying some of the forms of the new glyphs away from the original Chesterfield glyphs in order to build a more flexible brick/grid structure for the development of various weights. The most noticeable difference between these three new faces and the original is the lowered x-height. That said, there are still some compromises between the different weights and because of that I've given them these royalty names instead of the normal practice of light, regular, and bold weight names. One of the biggest compromises occurs in the Prince weight, where I was unable to add the notch where bowls and shoulders meet stems (see King and Queen weights) without adding too much extra black weight to those parts of the glyph.
A work in progress for sure. Any help/thoughts/repulsions/bile appreciated.

FontStruct bricks used to build a font set made of LEGO bricks.
Note that "_" can be used to add a blank space six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank space one unit large.
Use Legorama Fill to add a perfectly matching color to the text letters.

Inspired by caseycastille's Chinese Chairs, this started out as an exploration of optional letters for that font. Then I just doodled some repeating patterns. Then I saw how I can fill the patterns inside the letters. They fit together pretty easily for vertical letters, but diagonals were really tricky. The end product resembled Hawaiian leis draped over each glyph. Very floral. So there you have it. Flowers. For Casey. :)This is a clone

A number of years ago I used a bitmap font that came with Adobe Photoshop called "Photoshop Small".
Since updating Photoshop a few times over the years, I lost the font and haven't found it in any subsequent update. I don't know if it still exists, and haven't been able to find it.
Having used the font frequently in the past, and needing to use it again, I decided to recreate it with FontStruct and name it after the website I primarily used it for.
Note: Being a Pixel-sized font, or Bitmap-like, "last day of summer" only looks appropriate when small, or at about 9px (use "Show Pixel Preview" in View Menu above).

2x1 brickscaled. I have Eurostyle in my mind when I began this one, but made it without diagonals.

I hate Times New. It deserves to be smudged, eroded, distressed, manipulated and otherwise abused.
*Note: I wasn't looking at anything as a reference when I did this; probably should have - the "W" and the "M" would have looked better, but frankly, Times New doesn't deserve the attention to detail. : )

I thought this resembled Javanese shadow puppets, hence the name. A word about my fonts; I'm not necessarily attempting to create completely usable sets of glyphs at this point. I'm more interested in exploring ways to use the bricks. That said, I welcome all suggestions and constructive criticism. Bring it on! : )

Just a fun one I did last night while watching tennis and reading the latest DWR catalog (see page 72). This is a pattern Fontstruction based entirely on the Anni Albers textile pattern of the same name.
"Anni Albers began a three decades long collaboration with the internationally recognized design company Knoll in 1951. During the course of this partnership, Knoll released five of Anni's designs: Track, Rail, Lattice, Jhet and Eclat. Originally designed in 1974 as an upholstery pattern, Anni Albers' Eclat, was first produced printed on a cotton/ linen ground in various scales and color combinations. Reintroduction into the market as part of Knoll's 60th anniversary archival collection celebration in June 2007, Eclat, renamed Eclat Weave, is now produced as a woven, rather than printed, upholstery."

Itried to do something as useful as possible as a typeface for longer text.
edit:
this one will grow and grow in amount of glyphs, so if you like it, stay tuned...
