“The process is a little reminiscent of Tetris, but without the overwhelming feeling that sets in when the pieces start dropping at an impossibly rapid pace.”
Yes! Fun and addictive like Tetris.
Tetrisyde is entirely made up of Tetris blocks. (The preview may be a little off due to scaling, but trust me, they're there. You might get a better view by scrolling in increments.) This font is inspired by the above quote from ReadyMade magazine and Stephen Coles' comment on FontStructions inspired by Tetris. Enjoy!

Inspired by caseycastille's Chinese Chairs, this started out as an exploration of optional letters for that font. Then I just doodled some repeating patterns. Then I saw how I can fill the patterns inside the letters. They fit together pretty easily for vertical letters, but diagonals were really tricky. The end product resembled Hawaiian leis draped over each glyph. Very floral. So there you have it. Flowers. For Casey. :)This is a clone

This was more of a test in using a lot of brick stacking, made popular by Williaum, and combining them with widened bricks. Each letter is a single lego brick just for simplicity's sake. Happy 50th Birthday to Lego.

Circa 1980 New York subway trains with Single-Letter Top-To-Bottom Whole Cars.
Two cars on DeTrayne are dedicated to influential graffiti artists that have passed away way too soon.
Dondi, from New York, was a master of readable and wildstyle letterforms, whole-car masterpieces, colorful backgrounds and characters. He was also a pioneer in taking his art from the subway to art galleries worldwide. Dondi passed on October 2, 1998 from complications from AIDS.
On this day, Feb. 17, in the year 2000, legendary San Francisco Bay Area graffiti artist, Dream, was robbed and killed at gunpoint. It was a major loss, not just for the bay area, but the worldwide graffiti art community. One of Dream's most famous pieces, "Best of Both Worlds," displayed a mastery of two intricate west coast styles that raised the bar in defining a graffiti "king." A testament to his greatness is his memorial wall in Daly City that still stands untouched to this day, and includes tribute pieces from artists that have traveled from all over the world to contribute. It was a great honor to have worked on a music video that served as a tribute to Dream, and brought his family, friends, and his crew TDK together again for a celebration of his life and art.
Graffiti art has been a major influence on me and every typographic creation I develop. Out of everything I've publicly shared, this fontstruction is the most meaningful and defining for me. Hi, I am Geneus1: digital graffiti artist.

Just an excuse to release something on the opening day of the WATCHMEN movie. It's a very rough negative linear rendition of the Futura Bold Condensed font that is used as the Watchmen title.
A friend of mine let me read his copy of the Watchmen graphic novel. An epic deconstruction of the superhero genre with multi-threaded storylines and deep allegorical character analysis. A masterful work of sequential art and storytelling. This font hardly does it any justice. Hopefully the movie will do that. Ironically, I related to the character Ozymandias.
Rendered at 1:2 scale. LC has alternating spacing. Dash creates linear spaces.

A tribute to Josef Albers: inadvertently inspired by saberrider and afrojet.
This font totally happened by accident. Recently, saberrider created steep, which uses a 2.0 x 1.11 filter setting to smoothly blend the quarter-circle bricks into the triangles. After saberrider created his experimental variable scale fontstruction, it lead me to revisit an abandoned work I did from last year that was done in a similar scale. After getting over the initial disgust of looking at the dismal failure, I started tweaking. Then I decided to tweak the letters instead. It became apparent that I could create a stencil type font that also looked like Josef Alber's font. Coincidentally, Saberrider also has a variation with fontstract,
and of course, that Stewf guy has his own family of Leaflets. ;-) Afrojet's sessions came into play in creating some of the letter forms, especially the numerals. The final filter setting became 1.638 x 1.08, which created a nice fusion of the curved and triangular bricks, but was also naturally inclined to necessitate the vertical divide on each glyph. The rest flowed rather easily from there. Here's to more happy accidents. =)
The sample is also a tribute to Alber's color theory, showing the names in identical colors, which, when juxtaposed over contrasting colors tricks the eye into thinking the bottom name is darker than the top.
The following Josef Albers quote can relate to all things creative, like fontstructing, not just color:
"It should be clear by now that our way of studying color does not start with the past - neither with works of the past nor with its theories.
As we begin principally with the material, color itself, and its action and interaction as registered in our minds, we practice first and mainly a study of ourselves.
Thus, we replace looking backward by looking first at ourselves and our surroundings, and replace retrospection with introspection."
- Josef Albers

Inspired by the funk_king. The stems were created by extending the letter o from mr. funk_king's hemisphere fontstruction. Then things go haywire from there. This was hard, so I took a simpler approach to most of the letterforms for speed's sake.

Because I didn't get out my Star Trek or Wolverine fonts out in time for their opening days.
If Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen were a typeface, it would be the flashiest headline display font, with very little readability, but it would contain the most explosions and roboticity you've ever seen, with a hint of Megan Fox running in slow motion. With respect to the Terrible for already doing this before.

Karuso. As in Robinson Caruso. Because it should be shipwrecked on a deserted island. That's where I planned to leave it in private (and you're probably thinking that's where I should have left it). Check the creation date - it's been stranded for a while.
This is the first in a set of text face experiments, and it reveals the beginnings of an evolution of high contrast fontstructing over a minimized grid space. Not all glyphs are how I wanted them to be. Some may be hideous. The spacing is terrible. But as a fontstruction, this one really got me to push the bricks to develop some resemblance of a Times Romanesque sharp serif typeface. Many, many tricks had to come in to play to make this happen at its current state. Overlapping bricks, brick stacking, overlapping brick stacking. It's all in there. I learned a lot from this insane attempt just from the lowercase letter forms alone. I mean, just look at that g! Try it at your own risk. 6x8 grid space, Double XY.
But don't worry, this is as bad as it gets. It does get better from here, but only a little bit, so don't get your hopes up. Stay tuned.This is a clone

Effleurage brick massage. Sharp and curvy 6x10 grid space experiment. Weird spacing due to double size filtering in conjunction with half bricks makes this mostly unusable. But that's why there's alternate spaced letters instead of numbers...for now. The spacing is compensated to look better in actual use than on the preview. Minimal space tweaking was done on the sample, but wherever the spacing was really off (which was pretty much everywhere), the alternate space character was used.
Alt spacing characters:
a = 1
s = 2
x = 3
z = 4
Z = 5
S = 6
e = 7
o = 8
t = \
g = ^
s = |
Ligatures:
fi = @
ff = _
fl = #

The last and most difficult of the sharp serif experiments. Created on an 8 wide by 5 high base grid space. Unconventionally fontstructed while adhering to the impositions of the law of the brick. What do I mean? Just try recreating the letter A. It shouldn't be possible, so I did it anyway.
