I try this whith colors...
@afrojet: why the bathroom? :)
Not easy on the eyes, specially on screen, but must look great on paper.
@Afrojet: a wallpaper like this in a small room? It would really drive anyone crazy...
I want to make a poster with it for my living room! How would I use this in Photoshop or Flash? Is it possible? I can see it in "Fontbook" (I have a Mac), but not in those other applications ... help?
As concerning the font installation, I have no issue. Once downloaded, unzipped and installed, the True Type font is available in my applications.
Anyone else can help?
how can you fill in the empty space?
I need to figure it out in large print but that is one I wil do with my cutterplotter and put on the side of my car....
@Klinkhart: I would love to see examples of this font in action. If you put it on the side your car, be aware of possible crashes! :)
@Narani: I can download and use it on my Mac, but I don't use Suitcase Fusion. Try to install it directly from the font file and see if it works...
Ça fait tourner l'esprit! C'est magique

@Emepar7: thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately with the current FontStruct bricks it is possible to get a thinner line only by increasing the grid size and starting the work from scratch... I have to think about it! :)
Another case like Enanitos VS Satriani VS Coldplay ?

Yet each set seems to be quite different and to have its own peculiarities.
If you check the comments on the Optica page you may discover that that are other creations sharing similarities with Optica and Dioptical.
I'm really surprised that different people came out with a similar idea in the same period without being influenced one another. I'm sure there is a specific word for this phenomenon, but now I can't rememeber it. :)
That is why I mentioned the Satriani case, besides Originality is always a case of applying influences no matter how small they are, even if you are not aware of them. But it would be interesting if you got the award with your fontstruction instead of the Mexican dude. :)
@Afrojet: I'm glad you got weird with these bricks as well!
@Antoine: thanks for telling the right word!
@Claud9147: just follow what is suggested in the sample images... :)
@Emepar7: no problem, but I'm sure you could add a tweak or two of your own to create something original!
:D
The strange thing about THIS ONE is, that everything worked fine for this (and others) until FS did his server movement...
@Kix: thanks for your remark!
I'll contact Rob Meek and I'll let you know as soon as possible.
It moves!
@Axel: thanks, and don't try to work with it, as it really hurts the eyes!

@ukwarboy: check the Optica font by BlueTypo mentioned above.

This font is diabolical!
Now, how do I extend just the lines?

As concerning the blank space issue, I'm sorry but the space character is intentionally left out of the set as a deterrent to the commercial use of the typeface.
From my perspective...this is a masterpiece!
P.S. For the "putting more space between black lines" issue, why not just clone it and erase every other line?
