Great derivation Winty! A little History point now (as Williaum would do). The very first was Ssaamm CANCEROUS which inspired the structure in L of his Pixel Atrocities which generated a cascade of derivations from me, nazlfrag and now you. Personally, i did notfollow the structure in L and tried a different approach somewhere between Pixel Atrocities and CANCEROUS, but searching a sort of new beauty beyond the assumed uglyness of ssaamm works. I made a lot of derivations but finally only 2 found their way to the TESTAMENT series: Ssaammothrax et Panthrax plus a lowercase derivation not exactly related Lothrax Nazlfrag chose to explore the structure in L in his "ells bells" series and made masterpieces out of Ssaamm idea including ells bells ells bells nonstrict ells bells small ells fractal caps ells bells curved ells bells large and the delicious less directly related tetrominoid
Now your own 2 derivations "5Skware", which i find much more succeeding than your precedent "Winty5 Ells Bells" which already tried a more easily readable approach very effective in "5Skare" which shows the fontstructor maturity you gained since then. If we add your beautiful 5Distortopixel which i could say also related to this long series, i think ssaamm would not have imagined such a descendance out of what he assumed as a minor "ugly" work .

cablecomputer — 14? Amazing work! I never would have guessed!

Comment by demonics 17th june 2013

Yeah we have here a bunch of youngsters geniuses who make me feel humble and a bit old all of a sudden.

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 17th june 2013

@cablecomputer: Now your only 3 years older ;)
@Isaiah: I first came to FS in Oct. 2012 when I was still 10.
@AFT: Now that was a very AWESOME histroy lesson! Winty5 ells bells was'nt very good, so I tried a different approach with Skware, and I think it turned out better. Distortopixel is very old, but I think that one is a classic, an oldie but a goodie! ":)

@winty5: Actually, I probably was 12 already. Nevermind.

Comment by Ivy Meadows (Isaiah Garcia) 17th june 2013

Lol, whatever. Once we start gettin' a bit old (about 10) we start forgetting what we did when we were what age?
