Hey there. It's been a moment that i think to create a destroy typeface with fontstruct. That's done with the Dconstruct typeface. Hope you'll like it. Zen

If I'm right, you've just published the first fontstruction in grunge style. Looks very dirty, worn, and tattered. It was only a matter of time before FS conquered this urban domain, and you are the conqueror. Nice demo pic. Congratulations. 10/10
While not being even close to the first grunge font created with fontstruct, this is impressive work nonetheless. Who cares about being “first” anyway! In my eyes, better to be unique while staying true to your heart.
The gradation you achieved – especially apparent at small sizes – has a convincing rubber stamp quality. To be honest I have little affinity for the immense and visually tiring pantheon of grunge fonts created in the wake of the whole digital revolution in typography. But to manually and successfully construct a graded texture of controlled chaos with fontstruct is a trick and a half. It’s great that you and other here find and share joy in it. : )
You might want to widen the space character for increased legibility straight out of the box.
thanks you very much for those comments. In facts it's taking time to create the chaos in the typeface and to make it different for each letter. But i'm glad of the result.
a great technical achievement and work of art. fascinating to look at pixel size. looks almost stamped or something. i would also say more for the character space - try a little less than one of your lc glyphs - the text right now kind of runs together. but this is outstanding :)
Really nice work zen_killa!!!
It's even on this site as a awesome high-quality font: http://www.geeksucks.com/fonts/50-awesome-high-quality-free-font-to-enhance-your-design.htm

Ps : i've create the number and some special letter right now :)
It keeps a nice modular feeling but still takes advantage of a big scale to create a nice digital noise. Me gusta.
