What if Cooper Black was small and pixelated and was compatible with more languages? Hi, I'm Casey...

What better way to celebrate our bright future than pushing a whole creative medium forward? Introducing Brick Patching – a combinatoric approach to constructing hyper-tunable curved and angular modular forms.

Stay tuned to this space; *eventually I will describe this highly useful hack and fully document the technique.

Upgrade your gray matter cuz one day it may matter.

I am going to expand this font. Why not, after all? It is my best work so far.

====[ EDUCATIVE INTRO ]====

At a time when making books was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process, an increasingly literate 12th-century Europe required more and more books. To keep up with the increasing demand for the spread of literature was a ongoing struggle. Writing materials such as inks, dyes and parchment were very expensive. And it wasn't until the 15th century, when parchment was largely replaced by paper, along with the arrival of the printing press, for it to gradually became cheaper, faster and less labor-intensive.

So it made perfect sense to find other ways to help with this process.
Simplifying a script and cutting back on the decorative calligraphy was the most effective way of doing this.

This led to the development of simplified variations to pre-existing bookhand scripts. One of such forms is littera textualis, categorizing within the Textualis/Textura or simply Gothic bookhand scripts group.

Littera textualis is the simplest and least calligraphic form of textualis. It was developed with just two main goals in mind, to save time and costs. The simplified letterforms could be written much quicker than the more calligraphic and luxurious variations. It offered a more cost effective and faster version to the script. It was often used for less important literary works and academic papers.

It functioned as the standard bookhand script in the Netherlands during the 14th & 15th centuries.

====[ ABOUT THIS FONT ]====

TEXTUALIS BATAVICUM - A calligraphic inspired Blackletter/Gothic bookhand script. Essentially a Textualis/Textura inspired work.
The design mainly follows the concept for a traditional form of littera textualis bookhand script as was described in the intro written above.

It remains a work in progress and I will add update info for this font in the comment section bellow.

Some character still need slight adjustments, but so far I am very pleased with the result. As you can probably notice, the uppercase characters have slight more weight than the lowercase has.

More characters follow soon.

I hope y'all like it

Argh, this was horrible to make .. well, getting it slightly balanced was a nightmare. The missing segments of the glyphs constantly caused my brain to correct what I was looking at by means of general logic and my knowledge about the way in which letter spacing usually works. This effect was worst with the letters T, U, Y. And I am convinced that it still contains the necessary disproportionate irregularities with regard to the metrics. I tried kerning it as best as I could. It has only uppercase letters, no numerals and very limited punctuations. I am not sure if I will ever complete this.

enjoy!

All credit to Buro Destruct for their original bitmap design. Except for the &, that one’s mine.

I originally released this in 2008 as an exploration of the optical effect possible using different modules in a simple, gridded bitmap design. Buro Destruct iconic design was an inviting point of departure.

I have recreated/republished this at the request of four who took the inspiration and ran with it.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/770924/med_lsd Mon, 04 Feb 2013 23:19:06 +0000

Special thanks to thalamic for reviewing and giving me suggestions for improvements. A modernish sans on a fairly small grid. The x-height is 7 grid squares, the cap height is 9 grid squares, and the ascenders & descenders on the lowercase go to 10 grid squares. All natural curves, mainly using the macaroni bricks.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/581383/uptake_1 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 19:41:18 +0000

A pixel-city. That means it is a pixelated city. A city that is made of pixels. PIXELS, not bricks. The letters are as follows: A--Capitol building B--Plain building C--Building cluster 1 D--Factory E--Building cluster 2 F--Building cluster 3 G--Twin buildings H--Building cluster 4 I--Bridge J--Skyscraper #1 K--Central Park L--Huge Building M--Double Skyscrapers N--Plain building #2 O--Plain Building #3 P--Airport Q--Skyscraper R--Burned-down building S--Burned-down building 2 T--Space Needle (creds to my friend) Space--Road I'll probably add more buildings. Maybe another factory... I dunno.]]> https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/472679/xe_micropolis Sat, 16 Apr 2011 08:54:21 +0000
