Little experiment of mine, trying to design a script font that really connects all the letters. As you might guess from the quality of the uppercase, I started with lowercase and had quite some trouble finishing the uppercase... And I know there are (obviously) always the connection strokes peaking out at the end any word, but funnily this imperfect look has started to grow on me during the fontstructing.
I also know there are still lots and lots of inconsistencies and letters that badly need a rework, but I thought the constructive criticism of my fellow fonstructors might be more helpful and efficient at improving this... So I'm grateful for any suggestions!:)
Oh, and yes: The kerning is very painful at times, but I can't see how I can improve that under the constraints of the script and the character forms. And obviously the script thing doesn't work with uppercase only text.

Tried the uppercase but just couldn't make it work. I think lowercase glyphs have more character (pun intended) anyhow :P

I used a high-resolution grid and lots of FS 2.0 features to create this.
The x-height is 132 grid squares.
I used many of the new angles enabled by FS 2.0 (1:8, 1:6, 1:4, 1:3, 2:3) in an attempt to create very smooth curves.

No reference used at all. This is me drawing Paul Renner's original Futura from memory, without intending to. Actually, I was going for something more Avante Garde. It all started with the O and developed from there. The hardest letter = S. It was a real pain in the S. It was interesting afterward to compare the letters to Futura after finishing the caps.
Futura - It was like the Helvetica of 1928.
Bezziaire is an early experimental simulation of Bezier curves with FS2.0. Zooming 30% and below renders best results.
Horizontal optical compensation added for the circular glyphs, as well as baseline overshoots.

Oh yeah, this also has preliminary involvement with shasta's circle competition, which is seriously humbled by his Circle Cult.

Yesterday afternoon I was sipping Coke on a sunny terrace and thinking about life, and the universe, when an idea came out of the blue about a new stencil font. The idea was so simple, I almost felt ashamed not having it much earlier. Back home I started to work on it, and created the first set of letters. It's a work in progress, fraught with imperfections, including the usual spacing-kerning problems. Remolino is a Spanish word for vortex.This is a clone

This is done under pressure of time.
There will be some more alternate glyphs, but i got to leave the PC now :(
Hope it's a well competitor though...

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.
Thanks to meek and the Fontstruct staff for fixing the download.This is a clone

Hey fellas...
The idea of this was to create a font without real upper or lower case with a futuristic touch.
In the end i had so many different ideas for one glyph that i decided to include 3 full sets from A-Z into this, topped with some symbols and numerals.
keys for the 3rd set:
A=.
B=,
C="(left)
D="(right)
E=`
F=´
G="
H='
I=?
J=!
K=@
L=_
M=*
N=#
O=$
P=%
Q=&
R=(
S=)
T=+
U=-
V=/
W=:
X=;
Y=<
Z==
*=>
-=]
+=[
[={
]=}
>>>this will be available in 2 more versions:
ANTARES38 and ANTARES39 with rounded and cutted endings.
This is a clone of FS Antares39

Triline + Relief = Trelief.
This one was just waiting for a 2.0 update. Originally worked out in April of last year, synchronously with minimum's fs m.ove.r series, and Lex Kominek's Chocobot Stacked series of tri-line fontstructions.
I was unsatisfied with the limited 1.0 curvatures in Trelief, so this was left unreleased. The Trelief series has recently been updated with additional FS2.0 composites for a smoother appearance.
The rounded version of Trelief, which actually came first, includes further smoothness, rounding out each hard edged corner. This is a clone of Trelief Rounded

inspired by oldschool video racing games, but also by lapcounters in formula one.
Every dot of this's got a size of 5x5 bricks!!!
the reason for choosing such a superhigh resolution, was the idea to create an italic angle, which is impossible to do with the FSapplet. This is followed by a LOWER case plus numbers, called "pole position l/c".
however...cheers,community and fontlovers!

FontStruct bricks used to build a font set made of LEGO bricks.
Note that "_" can be used to add a blank space six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank space one unit large.
Use Legorama Fill to add a perfectly matching color to the text letters.
