Both z's are genius. The x may be a bit overdecorated though.
p.s. Umbreon126, I took heed of your perceptive feedback on the x and tightened it up for a better result. Thanks!
I’ve enabled cloning because some treasures are best not to be hoarded.
@architaraz: Thanks, my friend. I agree; fin bricks are full of surprises! I have an affinity for your many innovative approaches to them (I could list more!).
@p2pnut: I’m glad you enjoyed exploring this from different perspectives. I’m intrigued by how the brush details adapt to different resolutions.
@cablecomputer: Cheers! I want to take this opportunity to praise your Yamko Rambe Yamko. Top-shelf work in my book.
@funk_king: Thank you for your kind compliments. As they say, gods in the details. Or is it devils in the details? After so many hours staring at the fontstructor, one can’t be entirely sure! ;)
BTW, "Alhambra" means "The Red (fortress)" in old arab language. Also, it's the name of one of the arab monuments more marvelous in the world, near to me, in Granada (Spain).
Did you know the impeccable tile work served as a major inspiration for the mathematics and artwork of M.C. Escher? My sample above plays with some of these tessellating forms found there. Looks like they already had fin bricks all the way back when. ;)
I named this fontstruction after Calat Alhambra from early on while pursuing a much more Arabic flavored script. The style began to blend with blackletter motifs and then took on a fat, round brush texture. The “pirate” theme emerged. Actually, that all sounds pretty Moorish to me.
The cross-cultural shorelines and artistic achievements of Andalusia dwarf mine a million fold...I just couldn’t resist a beautiful name and an epic reference. :)
