  • Do you remember those multi-coloured plastic beads that 'clicked' together to make a necklace or bracelet? I made bracelets for my family, garlands for the christmas tree with them. I even made holes all round some beads to make 2D snowflakes and 3D animals :D So, when Fontstruct announced a gamecomp I immediately thought of the games I played with these beads ... This past week I have spent quite a few hours designing and then building a font in the style of click/pop beads. I hope you will string many nice messages together ;) Contents: all LC letters, all numbers, spacebar, also "/" , "?" , "!" , "=" , "+" and "-" Start a word/sentence with the "(" End a word/sentence with the ")" Space bar is a blank bead To get a 'break' in the strand of beads: use the "/" once Decorative beads: "@" , "_" , "#" , "%" , "*" , ":" , ";" , "$" and "&" If you want blank beads to decorate, colour or inscribe yourself you simply use the space bar with or without the word-gap of the "/", the word-start, word-end beads.

Artistic, creative, funny and useful!

Apart from the fact that I have had 'flu for the past few weeks, I have deliberately not voted for or comented on any of the Gamecomp entries (in the interests of fairness)

I'm sure Aeolien won't mind me posting this here :)

poor you p2p, hope you're better now! I make the occasional comment, by the end of the presentation period every entry (except arrivals of the last 2 days) will have one of my comments:)
I have a problem though: I'll not have a computer for a few days and need to vote no later than the 19th... Maybe I shouldn't vote at all, in the interest of fairness *sigh* :,(

Great font! I can see there some hours of hard work, but are you sure this font is not higher than 48 bricks?
Comment by Isaac González (1saac) 3rd november 2014
@ Isaac: the beads are 44 pixels high You're right, they look much taller. I rechecked to make sure

Beautiful design! The decorative beads are really nice, especially the cross. I love the last sample, too!
