Based on the font 'Kettler' (Eric Olson, 2002), which in turn is a tribute to the great 'Courier' (1955) by Howard "Bud" Kettler. As often happens to me, this recreation was born from the attempt to improve some characteristics of the original glyphs that I considered appropiated, in addition to being able to have a personal modern typewriter font. The monospace of this kind of letters has been a bit relaxed on this occasion. PS: Thanks for the helpful hand from @Sed4tives!
This is a cloneTwin brother of zeronda, with more spectacular and rare large serifs. This font is a pretty little thief to me: with its big serifs it stolen my hart. It was love at first sight, as soon as I started I couldn't stop adding them to the glyphs. Only caps/unicase, also includes an "a" and "e" alternates... and a little "c" in the "¢" glyph. Kern in progress. Enjoy.
This is a clone of zeronda eYe/FSa little something I had in my head for quite a while already, finally decided to try and make it in Fontstruct.
No kerning done right now, but maybe some time later I'll do it. though even without the kerning it looks nice in my opinion.
Feel free to clone and see how it was done. (some glyphs like { are quite messy though)
also may redo some glyphs in the future.
UPDATE: cyrillic done
This Fontstruction is a joint venture between Dmitriy Sychiov and myself, Sed4tives.
A while ago I had the concept basic forms for this design pre-published in an effort to try and reach out to y'all, asking if any of you was interested in joining me in this attempt to create a multi member community collaboration.
The original idea had I invisioned at that time was; presumptuous that most writing systems have two parallel sets of letters that can be used to distinguish between upper- and lowercase. That hypothetically could than be divided in two separate "Half-A-Bets"(oopz, lol). One one for upper- and a second for lowercase. Allowing two Fontstructors to each choose their own designated section within that specific language. But enthusiasm quickly reached critical mass, making a mild gesture go ballistic and somehow sketched this crazy wild idea of having multiple participating parties that each reserved one-half of a language within one of the several designated ranges for the Basic Multilingual Planes (preferably within their native writing system if possible), and in turns to each have them supply the glyph set for their section.
Oh, and "Sweet mother of a blind gekko", boy what was I wrong, as eventually only one Die-Hard going by the name Dmitriy hooked up with the project in the end.
So hereby I proudly present the results of this combined forces:
"Gesamtkunstwerk" — A Futuristic sci-fi stencil sans
The philosophy behind the FontStruction was to publish the completed font with open font license (so that it is clonable). Feel free to redistribute/share, clone, learn or even refurbish mash-up and re-publish your version.
— [The original collaborative project is now closed for any new participating parties, sorry!]
Some small things still need additional work, such as kerning (which is incomplete and remains a WIP for now), Cyriillic script still missing uppercase set. All of this is scheduled to be included soon, so stay tuned..
hope y'all simply enjoy it so far nonetheless!
Cheers
This is a cloneLogical evolution of zolid02, less experimental and more readable, complete and compact.
This is a clone of zolid02 eYe/FSThis is zimmera without scratches, more usable for general purposes. Thanks to @frongile for encouraging me to add it here. Hope you like it.
This is a clone of zimmera eYe/FSCaps only font. You can use the glyphs placed at the lowercase to add a different second letter in pairs like EE, FF, LL, NN, OO, SS, TT, ZZ, etc. and to avoid graphic repetitions in a single word or phrase. Extra "c" at the "¢" glyph. (NB: To create this one I have greatly exaggerated the method used by my admired Beate -sorry, Maestra- in her font db Whisper, which successfully simulated hand-drawn letters.)
@Dear and appreciated minimum: It has been an honour for me to have received from you the possibility of rebuilding my own version of your excellent font "tm Patchpanel", as a result of your very generous offer in FS of the pieces that it was made. I feel enormously lucky and grateful for that. It was also really very interesting for me to be able to go (in a certain way) into the depths of the ins and outs to build glyphs of a great master. With all this, I have dared to propose my humble version of this great font, which is this one that I am now making public. With all this, I have tried to make the grid more obvious, showing the shape of the letters inside. I've also tried not to repeat any of the glyphs of the original font, and I confess also my inability to get a good enough H. The final result appears to lack the freshness of your original font, but offers (to my mind, I hope also to you) some other qualities. I wish I hadn't demeaned the original too much and not made it too ugly. Thanks a million.
This is a cloneXpanding (really!) zpains. The font can work by itself or curious effects can be achieved. The 3D aspect becomes real by adding one or two gray bands to our text as the sample show. Some alternatives (A, a, E, Y) are at the end of the Basic Latin set.
This is a clone of zpains eYe/FSWhen I saw the New Year's greeting from the great geneus1 I started to think about how a font would look with the height of the capital letters equal to the lowercase x. This is the result. I hope you like it as much as I do.
This is a cloneDon't worry, this is not a font, this is a picture game. Please, type any uppercase character in the user input window from A to T, then the same character but in the lowercase and then press the space before repeat the operation with other character that you want: Aa (space) Bb (space) Cc (space)... And... Surprise! Here you are my crazy pixel friends. After this, you can mix the characters and play a little bit more creating some funny "monsters": Bd (space) Hp (space) Pt... There are 400 variations to try. Enjoy them!
Including cyrillic (to native cyrillic users about my glyphs: help & comments are welcomed, please). Some kerning is in process. See also zendera smallcaps eYe/FS.
Pixel prototype of a font for an upcoming game being developed by yours truly. This will likely be used, but only for flashbacks and dreams. The normal ingame font may be a high-res version of this, or something different - tests are still being done to determine this.
English only for now, as there are no plans to localize the game myself.
"Madufaros" = "daughter of Madu".

Original size: 9pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfect rendering)
Here is a gift to the community.
-----------------------------------------
This is a collection with parts and bits for small grid designs, (5x5 max) Each related to the assembly of smooth and (near) Bézier-like curved shapes and round letterforms.
-----------------------------------------
As some of you might very well know, one of FontStruct's holy grail is custom circular and curved forms. I'm talking about those not simply build with off-the-shelf bricks from the standard brick pallet FontStruct is providing.
Making these can be a very difficult process. Since the bricks in the default pallet are a far cry from what is truly possible with some clever use of FontStruct's editor features. Although obviously there remain serious limitations when it comes down to making different curves and round forms, there still is a lot room available to work in.
Most of the seasoned users know and utilize this very well, but, as with each of us, it took time and dedication in order to learn the tricks of the trade!
With a little knowledge, clever thinking and a healthy dose of outside the box thinking one can still get a lot out of FontStruct.
This font is meant to serve as a helping hand and inspirational / educative tool. Providing some insight into making numerous curving and rounded forms, various transitions, achieving different weight contrasts, and how all the various building blocks were aligned in order to make the various parts.
-----------------------------------------
Most important features used for this process are:
Brick Size filter: Must be changed to a 2×2 value in order to use the elements in this font.
All functions found in the "Modify" menu: Flip rotation and nudge are used to make alignments and to fill up the gaps.
Make composite: (also found in the Modify menu) This function will mainly be used to do two tasks, resize, modify/distort brick shape,
placement and orientation of bricks within the brick grid square for the required given composite.
-----------------------------------------
The font itself contains a collection of different premade elements divided into 3 main groups that I will list bellow. And can be found in the uppercase, lowercase and numerals sections.
[Uppercase] Various pre-assembled variations of the letter O, to demonstrate different variations for a round letterform. These were sub-divided and grouped according to their relative height!
[Lowercase] "Copy & Paste"-ready isolated parts 'n bits (curve segments, terminals) aimed at re-constructing and use in your own projects
[Numerals] Various random examples of letters that have curved/round features implemented in some way.
A fonts height probably is the most dictating parameter in type design in terms of behavior and appearance. Therefor, with the collection of pre-build vatiations of the letter "O", I choose its relative height to further sub-divide them in, rather than weight, since these are already completed letterforms. This makes up for the easiest access to a "drag/drop" adaptation into one's own project and build a full font based upon it, mainly for those that come with only limited experience.
This tool is to make one's FontStuct experience a little easier or to save time. So feel free to clone it and use the content however you like.
Re-use any of the provided elements, copy/paste the letter examples into your own fonts, deconstruct and re-use the various parts. Or simply just take a peek under the hood to see how they were build, This can be done via the "Menu>View>'Outline' " function.
There are no restrictions to how the content is used.
-----------------------------------------
More additional curve variations and different related other elements will be added soon. I have to select them from my various random works and this takes some time. Please stick with me on this one.
The intent is to try keeping this a ongoing project, so hopefully many more updates will follow and eventually turn this into a "all-in-one" tool for small grid designs. So far I also have plans for including a collection with different serif style, but this is something for a future update as well!
For now, curvatures it is!
-----------------------------------------
Note that, all content and forms in this font were created by myself and were gather from the various projects I have made, most came from published works, but some were taken from private material as well. We all here work with the same tool + limited brick set, so I am pretty sure certain elements in here were done exactly the same way by other users. Please don't accuse me of using others or your material without approval, this is just a case of unfortunate coincidence.
-----------------------------------------
[Usage]
The elements are best used by way of copying them from this into your personal projects, and work with it from there! This because the "My Bricks" pallet in this font is messy, probably very uncomfortable to work with as is. Copy & pasting them into your own font re-arranges the selected brick set for that segment into your own font's "My Bricks" pallet, making it much easier to get sense of its individual bricks.
Another very important thing is, I strongly advice not to nudge any of these what so ever, unless investigated its composition first. And I cannot rephrase this enough, seriously, never, or brace yourself for absolute dire results!
This due to the numerous counter-rotated or different directions of nudged 'into place' elements that make up a complete segment.
There are some elements included that at first seems to be looking like doubles, with onother one looking exactly the same. This is right, but these are constructed using different configurations of bricks. The reason for this is to provide alternative configurations for them. Some scenario's can make one approach to be working just fine, and the other simply not. This all hangs in strong correlation with the current nearby configuration of bricks, and simply depends on the whatever spot still remains unused in the surrounding grid. Since available grid locations to start working from are usually very limited. Its like this, Taller and/or wider letterforms meaning more available space to work from and place your bricks, but the smaller you go, the more scarce space becomes, simple as that.
So best is to use and work with this tool on a copy of your current glyph to verify no bricks will be raplaced and ruin the current glyps, and only to replace the original glyph once you're absolutely sure everything worked out well together.
If something else isn't clear or if you have any questions in regard to this tool, feel free to ask those in the comment section bellow.
-----------------------------------------
One final thing, beware that some of this elements can possibly influence the font vertical metrics (font size and leading/vertical spacing) and create addition extra line spacing. As well as the letter width. So be sure to allways double check those two when u use any of this.

Happy structing,

This is still a work in progress. I'm pushing the new bricks, stacking and nudging to the limit to create some nice flowing shapes. This is also a great opportunity to get working with some good kerning. Once I have the basic character set, this is going to be submitted to Google Fonts for approval.
A funky idea that started with the A and expanded from there. Most letters are drawn by a single line winding around, although some are just not willing to follow this mantra. I found this half-finished while scrolling through my private FontStructions, looking for ideas for the CounterComp, and decided it was already an interesting entry :-)
There's an alternate, narrow set of numbers that can be reached with Shift+number (on a QWERTY, Dvorak, etc. layout); not sure which set fits the style better. Suggestions and critiques welcome for anything, and feel free to clone and poke around with it. Thanks and enjoy!
I decided to be laynecom for a day, and this is the result. Didn't have time for numbers and punctuation though, unfortunately...
Some alternates available in Extended Latin A. Suggestions and critiques encouraged, as always. Thanks and enjoy!
