“SwiftedStrokes” by Mike Lee (badgerkins)

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 23:41:24 +0000

This is my first FontStruction while currently studying graphic design at Bristol UWE. Lots of experimentation solely using paints; quick hand movements and flicks to produce a messy, unrefined effect. Working in less than 1 second for each letter (with real paints), used as reference. Inspired by East Asian calligraphy.

“NCD Edding 5.0” by djnippa

Sat, 09 Oct 2010 05:27:53 +0000

A TRUE HAND WRITTEN font.
No two letters are the same, or use any of the same brick configurations.
From my very own hand using an Edding 5.0 Calligraphy pen.
Only the upper case is available for now. Due to a heavy work load this week, and several non-starter comp entries, I've unfortunately been unable to fully complete the lowercase and numerals. :-(
Hope you like it.
All comment and crits appreciated.

“en origami - pencil shaded” by naveenchandru

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:09:18 +0000

Preview at a size slightly higher than the pixel size. Adjust the size to get a pencil shading effect. ----------------------------------- This is cloned from en origami v2. I've added the shading effect to each glyph.suggestions/comments are welcome:)

“High Voltage” by Tobias Sommer (shasta)

Another script experiment, again with a pinch of blackletter, but also with a solid lacing of rock'n'roll... For the fun/easiness of it, this was done with pre-2.0-features only. Funny how this already gives is an old-school feel. :)

A lot of refinement is still to be done... Suggestions are, as always, welcome!

And I will probably add some more latin characters soon...

For some more samples, check my blog!

“Lyrical OF” by funk_king

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 02:31:26 +0000

inspired by Redonda and the other excellent fonts that have been done in this style. this is my first dot font. i searched to see if there were any italics and didn't find any; but they may be hiding here somewhere. started with lc just to see if i could do a basic set. then went for the uc and decided to make it a little more fancy or lyrical, if you will. then one thing led to another and i can't believe i did the whole basic latin :) i thought about waiting to release it, but changed my mind. this was fun and allows for the visualization of curves which really can't be done in FS. but still, i guess it's not like the real thing. oh, well :)

Couldn't find all the bricks I needed, so I had to make do with found materials :)

“fs Etched” by thalamic

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:00:12 +0000

This one started out quite different; a simple three-line font. While making an alternate B, the curlicue was introduced. A clone and many hours later, Etched was born. Later added borders and decorations when the sample called for it.
-----
Works best at 64pt. Set leading to 48pt for a single dividing line in between, 52pt for a double dividing line, and 56pt for a clear break between lines. No kerning required.

Start a new line with < and end it with >.

Top borders: [ \ ]
Bottom borders: { | }
Top border decoration: ~
Bottom border decoration: /
Left border: (
Right border: )
Text decoration: _
Text decoration end (ambidextrous): `

“Soma” by funk_king

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:20:22 +0000

well another escher inspired set. however with this one i was also influenced by the soma cube - which is very escheresk itself. actually i don't know if i'm more happy about this set which is much more simple and clean than my previous efforts or that i finally googled upon the soma cube which i had as a kid and wasted many hours playing with...much like now with fs :) thanks to frodo7 with Homage a Escher and shasta with Escheresk for providing great examples of clarity and inventiveness of design in this genre.

“Hommage à Escher” by Frodo7

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:25:43 +0000

This is my homage to the late Dutch master. I tried to capture the impossible geometry, sense of space, and even the colours of his works. You can see and download the new v2 here:

“Escheresk” by Tobias Sommer (shasta)

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:07:25 +0000

I intended to make some sort of an M.C.Escher tribute here. I'm sorry this isn't very complete and far from being perfectly well done, but it somewhat started to make me feel dizzy...;) And even though I'm not very convinced by this, I don't think I'd come up with a way better execution soon.

I hope for Mr Escher that there are better tribute fonts for him out there! He'd definitely deserve it...

It was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it. (If you can call 42 characters "finished".)

Also check out Frodo7's Hommage à Escher, geneus1's IsoMatrix 3D, and funk_king's Soma for some other great Escher-esque fontcrafting!

“Aerologica” by geneus1

Exactly one year ago, I released Brikd. This is kind of the same thing without the bricks. and the Rick Roll. plus a 3D extrusion. and faded reflection. and rendered in 1:2 scale. 073013 Updated with the New Pointy Bricks for sharper sheens.
