The last and most difficult of the sharp serif experiments. Created on an 8 wide by 5 high base grid space. Unconventionally fontstructed while adhering to the impositions of the law of the brick. What do I mean? Just try recreating the letter A. It shouldn't be possible, so I did it anyway.

Very sneaky - it took me a while, but I got there.

Excellent creative use of bricks there... I had a font in mind a while ago that could've done with that trick. Bravo!

I think this submission has put Fontstruct in a daze - I'm sure I only posted that comment once, and with a picture too.

Oh well... it's an A* from me.

Oooh! What a glutton for punishment! I'm smitten, where do I sign up? Second thoughts: 8x5... no thanks.

@chr.s: Thanks. I'm surprised you discovered it so quickly. It took me four iterations of these experiments to discover the technique was possible.

@intaglio: No pain, no gain! ;-) I don't think you'd have any problem with it.

This is very cool.

I've come close to copying the A, but I don't think mine is quite right.

Please, Mr. Magician, show us your magic trick. :)

I admit I had to download it to be sure my eye didn't trick me on that tiny kink... ;)

@djnippa: Thanks DJ! Its funny looking back at this one to see the amount of details packed into the same grid space used to create a pixel font.

@shasta: Hehe. Nice.

@aphoria: I think its more beneficial when the discovery is made on your own, but here's the cat out of the bag...

-William has the same technique employed with iSlab on the V.

Mine did match after all. I guess I was just going cross-eyed trying to compare mine to yours in the previewer.
Comment by aphoria 2nd april 2010
Updated with 3 grid space circles. Made possible by nudging. It's not perfect, but its closer to what was originally intended.

Thanks for my 100th Top Pick! Its nice to join the ranks of funk_king, thalamic, elmoyenique, and four (and others I may be missing?)
Comment by geneus1 19th february 2015
This is certainly a very elaborate typeface. And 100 TPs? Wow!

Congratulations on 'hitting the ton'.
Comment by p2pnut 19th february 2015
Congrats, master! BTW how you do the 3 grid space circles appears so well?
Comment by elmoyenique 21st february 2015
Thanks guys.

@elmoyenique: You can clone and get the 3 grid space circle from here.
Comment by geneus1 24th february 2015
Despite the fs limitations, the serifs work very well.
