Favorite FontStructions from Pieter (Sorted by Sharing Date)

“Ziplock” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Fri, 11 Mar 2016 11:59:52 +0000

A back-to-basics, Bauhaus-ey, geometric sans serif. Some of the shapes (G and S) are a bit unconventional due to the small grid, but I think they are fairly legible.

“Kolya Regular” by h1k765

Fri, 04 Mar 2016 02:37:48 +0000

Clone of angles.

“Hexagonia” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Sun, 21 Jun 2015 11:51:40 +0000

This font almost made itself, when I found out that you could make an almost regular hexagon with vertical segments 9 bricks long and angled segments at 4*sqrt(5) = 8.94

“Kapow” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:34:26 +0000

I suddenly had a lot of time on my hands, which resulted in this font. The initial idea was to make a font inspired by the (handwritten?) signs in retail stores, but it quickly took a turn for the more comic.

“Bolt” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:25:57 +0000

I stacked some propeller bricks and some composites of the kite bricks, which allowed me to make a nice lightning bolt inside each letter's bowl.

“Zebroid” by Frodo7

Sat, 10 May 2014 16:09:05 +0000

Three dimensional letters look as if carved out of blocks of diagonally layered black and white material.

“Computer says no Italic” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Mon, 24 Mar 2014 12:55:20 +0000

Upright italic for "Computer says no". Some of the characters are a bit extreme in order to get a more italic feel. What do you think? I am going to change cyrillic later...

“Computer says no” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Thu, 27 Feb 2014 21:54:39 +0000

Something as simple and boring as a monospaced, octagonal, sans serif font. But it has great unicode support!

“fs lost” by ETHproductions

Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:12:15 +0000

My final entry in the competition. Inspired by Mazey, zlabyrinths eYe/FS, and wavelength. Each glyph has its own maze, and each maze connects with the next. Tilde ~ and low line _ connect words, grave ` closes beginnings and ends, and the left and right arrows < > are for the start and end. There are also some alternates in Extended Latin A. Suggestions and critiques are welcome. Thanks!

UPDATES:
04/06/14 The whole font has been updated to be one brick taller, and thus properly fit onto a grid. Also, some characters have been redesigned. V2.0
05/13/14 All punctuation has been modified to continue a word maze. V2.1
07/05/14 1000 downloads! Hooray! As a 'thank you', I've completed more of More Latin. V2.2
08/22/14 I've made the accents part of the maze. I've also changed a few characters, and added Œ and œ. V2.3
08/04/15 Added Polish support with Ą, Ć, Ę, Ł, Ń, Ś, Ź, and Ż. Tweaked a few characters as well, and added a crossbar to the ð. V2.4

06/18/16 Added support for multiple languages with more Cyrillic chars and punctuation. Also tweaked a few chars.

“Ribbons and banners” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:52:44 +0000

Utilizing the propeller bricks to make curves with split ends. To make banner ends use (parentheses) and [square brackets], and use the underscore between letters to continue the banner. Here is an [e_x_a_m_p_l_e)

“Interlock” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Wed, 23 Oct 2013 08:28:32 +0000

A font, in which every character consists of two or more interlocking shapes. Slightly inspired by Thalamic's "fs Six Sticks". I might do some alternates in the lower case area, and possibly also numbers. But I really shouldn't. Funny how creativity flows, when you should be doing something else :p

“High Voltage” by Tobias Sommer (shasta)

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:13:17 +0000

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!

“Vortices” by Frodo7

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 01:14:55 +0000

“Études Typographiques 02B” by Frodo7

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:32:41 +0000

Clone of Études pour Noir et Blanc 02 (Vertebrae).

“fs I-Tilic” by thalamic

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:03:59 +0000

Inspired by a picture found on this website.

Another diagonal line font so soon after fs Overlap. A mere coincidence. The application of each is very different. Overlap is about negative space while I-Tilic is about patterns and meta shapes. Post samples if you end-up playing with this fontstruction. Have fun.

[ = fi ligature
] = ti ligature
< = background fill (negative)
> = background fill (positive)
` = reverse tile (above base line)
~ = reverse tile (full height)
{ = top border
} = bottom border
| = side border

“Belfalas” by Frodo7

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:19:48 +0000

A slab serif face with minimal design and pixel font roots.

“Punched Out” by Tobias Sommer (shasta)

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:39:09 +0000

Well, apparently everybody here likes building letters... And I'm sure everybody got told at least once to finally shut down that damn computer while fontstructing. Here's how you can go on tinkering fonts even with the computer unplugged!;)

I had carried this idea around with me a long time ago, doing some sketches, but abandoning it cause I thought all the thin and dotted lines would go beyond fontstruct's possibilities. Until funk_king proved me wrong... Thanks for the re-inspiration!

I think this is pretty self-explaining. Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted lines and put some glue on the shaded parts, put it all together, and there you go with your new toys!

Unfortunately it was impossible to fill all the inner sides of all the counters, but I tried to leave them open where you'd see it least. There might also be some bugs, I haven't tried them out yet. Pure brainwork so far... (My brain's still in the freezer to cool down a bit) In case someone ever actually uses them and finds something wrong, please let me know!
Hope you like it!:)

Check out the fill font if you wanna print your own custom-made design on the letters!

“Nimrodel” by Frodo7

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:06:33 +0000

This is a Fontstruct adaptation of an earlier work. The main point was to construct a font using exclusively one shape: the triangle. It was like creating a pixel font for a screen with triangular pixels. Of course, the original has equilateral triangles, and looks slightly different. It is also in the same vein as Legolas Codex.
