This lowercase font is inspired by the fontstruct logo. Enjoy! Let me know what you think and how I can improve. Also take a look at my other fonts!

Good job. I noticed that in the actual Fontstruct logo, the letters are closer together. Maybe you could do that too.

Very accurately done. Here's a sample I made using your font. I agree with jinx on the spacing, I had to correct it once downloaded.

I don't know how to tell you this... but... The FontStruct logo was made using Structurosa, by pauldhunt. :-)

Comment by SquarePeg 20th august 2009

Well imitated!

Comment by marccxo 20th august 2009

MARCCXO; Thanks!

SQUAREPEG; Oh, I see. Well, this is just my version inspired by the logo. :)

STARBURST; Thanks! :) Now that you said that, I totally agree. I fixed it.

JINX; Thanks. :) I noticed too. Thanks for letting me know!

I don't think the fontstruct logo was made based on pauldhunt's Structurosa. I think it was more the other way around: Paul based his Structurosa on the fontstruct logo.
Considering your font: Certainly a good exercise, but you might have to rework some glyphs. g, k, q, x, 2, 5, @, $, etc reveal some problems with the consistency. Maybe you see what I mean if you look them over again...:)

SHASTA; Yes, I agree about the k, x, @ and $. I also had a lot of trouble with the &. The 5 came out a little strange because I wanted them all to be the same height. It's only my third font. Haha. :) thanks for letting me know!

Ahh, I've found it, the ACUTAL logo font. Easily enough, it's called logo {Made by meek, a part of the FS Staff}. This font looks like it also had a little trouble with the 2 and the 5. Well, on a similar font, I guess i'm not the only one. :)

Ok.. so I'm a total beginner and lazy {being it's 11:30 at night}. I see that there is XHTML I can use, and I was wodering which I'd use for making a link to a font or user {EX. in SquarePeg's comment how there's a link to Structurosa and pauldhunt}. If anyone could explain how and what all those other XHTML codes are for? I'm used to HTML for changing fonts and colors, but not exactly like this. Thanks!

Oops, that didn't help much did it.

Jenjes and shasta, after reading your comments, I went back and did some digging. Apparently, the FontStruct logo came before any of the fontstructions, including meek's logo (his "s" is wider than the logo's). See stewf's comment under i love fontstruct, by normanbaker. So, I stand corrected. And jenjes, I wasn't trying to say anything negative about your work with my previous comment. I think we all get inspiration from things we see around us, whether they are fonts, or logos, or patterns, etc.

Comment by SquarePeg 23rd august 2009

Alright... Let's see if this turns into a link to the actual Fontstruct font... Logo

Comment by jenjes232 23rd august 2009

APHORIA; Thank you!! I assume I can do the same thing to make a link to a certian user?

SQUAREPEG; Yup. I just found it yesterday! :) Oh, there was no offense taken. I am a beginner, and any help / inspiration / critisism I can get is great!
