If you are suffering from FontStructor's block or would just like to offer inspiration, motivation, or creative applications of typography, this is your place.
Also: today marks the rollout of forum 2.0, complete with all-new and revamped forums. Stay tuned for more, and be sure to check out all the newly redone forums!
Cool! You should hurry up, I have a feeling that you're not the only one who's trying to recreate it, this font's been requested all over the internet :).
Sometimes I am inspired by a plant or animal I see, or by nature photos (specially the close-ups).
But more often I am inspired by a word, situation, name: it invites me to create a font that expresses what I feel or know when hearing the word.
Unfortunately I don't always have the time to build a complete character set so it stays in the initial stage of 'idea' or 'adaptation' - I am one of those fontstructors who "keep private" a lot of fonts simply because they need or deserve more time spent on them than I have available when the inspiration enters my mind. I tend to work on them when I have fontstructor's block ...
1. Pick randomly two words from the list below.
2.Try to make a fontstruct that has the two features you picked up.
3. Enjoy!

@winty5: WDS is a real company? I'll make a sample!
does anyone else know this moment, when the lights are dimmed, its about 3 o'clock in the morning and you are totally into the mode of fontstructing anything. Once you take your eyes off the screen, you realize, how tired your eyes are and so it's about adjusting brightness, contrast and so ever on your screen just to make it less "flashing". It ended not seeing the grid anymore enough.
Thats when i thought, it would be cool to have a "night mode" :)
I could imagine it's not a huge challenge to realize this, but i could be totally wrong as well. I'm talking about an inverted view...
Community, how are your thoughts about this?
My version of this is listening to loud rock/blues on the headphones in the middle of the night and thinking 'maybe I ought to listen to something a bit more calming!'
It's not like Microsoft or Adobe or something, and it doesn't actually sell anything, so I guess it;s not technically real. You can still design stuff for it if you want.
Classification:
Sans,Serif,Blackletter,Display,Script,Dingbats
Style:
Geometric, Connected, Bold, Italic, Unicase, Minimalist, Distorted, Hairline, Comic, Handwritten, Monospaced, Pixel
With...
Ligatures, Swashes, Accents, Cyrillic, Greek
That is a good pair with:
Braggadocio, Arista, Times New Roman, Helvetica, Comic Sans, Futura, Baskerville, Clarendon, DIN, Vera Mono, Univers, Magneto
That is, if I can easily recreate the logo using the font, but then go on the "look and feel" to create all the other letters and numbers, and add some similar styled punctuation and symbols, am I in violation of a Copyright because it can recreate a logo?
Or worse, am I setting someone else up for a fall because they might use the font to recreate the logo?
Is it best if I stay away from this type of stuff altogether, or can I make a font that is similar to whatever logo inspired it without being able to recreate the logo (but allow its spirit to shine though)?
Or just no?
Thick, Caption, Book, Display, Semi-Bold, Black, Light, Extra light, etc.
and
Bodoni, Gotham, etc.
Serif, Ligatures and Accents (didn't tell me how to use the 4), Gotham
or
Book serif with ligatures and pairs well with Gotham.
if it were unlimited:
"Texitham is a serif that comes in 4 optical sizes and regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. It pairs well with Gotham, Montserrat, Helvetica, and other similar fonts."
PICK ANY 4

I made up most of these or saw them somewhere.
Funny thing is that even though I did all the other letters in the spirit of the letters used in the logo, once I started checking things out I realized that they had a totally different idea for those letters.

Looking for fonting ideas I realised that "Fontouts" are a great stimulant and that the last one was long ago. Could we have one for Christmassy fonts? Or general party fonts?
I was inspired by Winty's ideas and made a "font" to help people with FontStructors block decide the basic style of a font/: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1306186/inspired-font-2 You need to read the font's 'description' to find out how it can be used.
Hello people, want to say thanks for all your info here, have locking for such a forum for long time!
