Caps Only Monospaced picture font. Complete with Chrome gloss and "Sin City" style shadows. <>()[]{} are openers and closers. Maybe it should be renamed Rolld.

I am speechless. Fortunately, it speaks for itself.

10 Points! That’s so amazing. You made my day. [Now I’m waiting for the “Another brick in the wall” extension.]

Comment by hellotheresa 23rd april 2008

Spellbound. Incredible to see what can be done with just a couple simple shapes. This one will be hard to top!

Thank you all for your comments. This one literally gave me a headache. Discovering song chart memes helped a lot. http://flickr.com/photos/boyshapedbox/sets/72157603957925616/

I really like this one, made to order for a "City" feel, I also think it has an "American" look, almost Stars and Stripes?

Wow. It's amazing how you matched up those bricks to all of the letters. 10 out of 10, no doubt.

I spent a whole day today to create my first all caps font. I don't want to know how many days this wonderful font did cost you! Super work of font-art!

Comment by Sweetcupcake 2nd june 2008

Thank you all for your generous comments. As this design has inspired you, your words inspire me. And to question if it was created in FontStruct is a great comment not only to myself, but to the capabilities of the FontStruct software.

Its funny how Brikd was started with the thought, "What can I make with these new rectangular bricks? I know: Bricks!"

Comment by geneus1 3rd june 2008

Comment by DinhoO VascainoO 8th june 2008

Wow! How did you do that? That must've taken like a month!

Comment by xyzzy 28th june 2008

Great font! This is the best one I have seen so far

Comment by subway24 29th june 2008

I think this font needs some more punctuation, numbers and lowercase letters

Comment by JH34 6th july 2008

Further description. Now including numbers

Comment by JH34 2nd august 2008

And more further description. Also including some new puncuation

Comment by JH34 2nd august 2008

But i still think it needs lowercase letters

Comment by JH34 2nd august 2008

Admittedly I was disappointed to read it was caps only, but it sure was a fun surprise to see what you put in their place.

Comment by invisiblescaper 5th september 2008

haha.
i just realized these are RICK ASTLEY lyrics!

:D
jeeez

Comment by kix 6th september 2008

Thanks for the comments!

@JH34: It was so long since I worked on this font that I thought I did the numbers already. Thanks for the reminder.

@invisiblescaper: Gotta love that Rick Roll! Unfortunately there will not be a lowercase. When I updated the font with numbers after the improvements to the Font Generator, it reminded me how difficult this was to fontstruct. It's not simply cut and paste because the bricks are so tightly integrated. A change in one brick means a potential change in the outline, brick pattern, and brick shadow. It gets confusing really quickly. And any descenders will throw off the floor shadows.

@kix: Ha! I gotta thank youtube for the Rick Roll inspiration as well.

Comment by geneus1 7th september 2008
